If 'moe' is kind of like a parental instinct, wouldn't that mean it would be easier to be moe for characters you invent, since you pretty much are their parent?
Or is it more like incest?

Yeah. "Kind of". That's just one of many failed attempts to describe the term to people who never experienced it firsthand. Don't use it in more complex deliberations, it will lead you nowhere.

wouldn't that make moe the root of all incest?!

That aside, the main issue is how common it it for artists/authors to go moe for their own characters, and whether its feasible

Moe is kind of like an extremely sexulized perversion of paternal instinct.
The fetish is that you can patronize the girls because they're helpless on their own. Moe characters are usually lolis because once children get older they aren't as helpless anymore.

Yet another failed attempt to rationalise moe by someone who has never experienced it firsthand.

Moe is moe.
