I highly agree. Virtually anything can be made into a good story. Often times, when I edit or review someone's story, I find my mind interpreting alternate ways that I would take the story if the idea were mine --this not to say the author's actual story is bad-- because there are so many ways you can take an idea.

Poor execution is what can hurt an idea, and the case with video games or OC stories in general, brand them with a negative connotation. It's why I love Shadowswimmer's quote so much: "There are no bad stories, just bad storytellers."
