User blog comment:Reprieve/Suggestion on New Pasta Idea/@comment-4750363-20140925020636

Yep, I do have to agree with Nommeh on that one.

All three ideas have potential, but what makes a story work, besides a concept, is the execution. A story can have a great concept but a terrible execution, rendering it generic and forgettable.

Other stories can have a not-so-stellar concept, but are written marvelously, making it quite a treat to read.

So even if something seems cliché, I think it's worth it to try to write. I do like the third idea more than the other two, to be honest!
