I've been working on my custom story for almost two months now (With ons, and offs), and the finished product currently isn't expected to be over twenty minutes long. I don't even notice anything SUPER innovative about the whole thing.
If you want to make a good custom story, it will take time. I'm not against you making "test" custom stories to boost your skill, but you should really just keep them in your testing bin for research purposes rather than release them as full-fledged projects in showcase.
