You do make a good point, but there are few things I need to say. First, yes, we do talk a lot about bad stories here, but it's partly because they're a bit more interesting to talk about, and because if we know why it doesn't work, we won't make the same mistakes. Second, on the Riffs, I'm the guy who started the Riffs here (and got them banned from here. Oops), and someone who still does Riff, and while I do focus mostly on bad stories, I have Riffed some good ones. However, when it comes to Riffs, it is much easier to make jokes about bad stories than good ones. I say this from personal experience.

But yeah, you are right, we really should focus a bit more on good stories than bad ones.
