Howdy Y'all!!
This is my first ever comment on here - was just strolling through all the discussion pages and came up with my own theory on the above issue... (BTW I have NOT read any of the books so this is pure speculation)...
Perhaps the smoke demon/assassin only works if one of it's casters/creators (in this case Stannis) shares a direct blood link to the intended target...?
The gestation period didn't seem to take too long & there's heaps more obvious threats (to Stannis) than that which his brother Renly posed.
Anyways, nice to be here people - and here's to Season 3 being an absolute corker!!
