Melissa's Secrets is a very long story written by Pookie and that, for whatever reason, the author left unfinished. The story was published here but, for whatever reason, the story disappeared. I'm afraid that the story couldn't be published right now in most platforms because of the age of some of the characters involved in sexual situations. If you want to read it to know what the fuss is about, the story is currently being published in another platform by a user that it's not the author of the story. I don't know if the user has the author's permission.
It's filtered by default for everyone. They need to check: https://storiesonline.net/sol-secure/user/my_account.php?cmd=chooseAccessLevel
If it isn't set to full access anything with tags indicating under 14 characters involved in sex will be filtered out.
This is the only website that "officially" has Melissa's Secrets. I made lots of edits/revisions/additions to earlier chapters around 5 years ago that were only posted here.
You do need your settings at "Full Access" to see the story listed.
I just want to say that I personally love this story and believe it is quite well-written. I hope you finish it one day. If publishing here is an issue due to content, there are other sites like AO3 to publish it.
I haven't read "Melissa's Secrets" simply because I refuse to start a story that I know won't have an ending. But based on the score, I would like to read it.
Why don't you complete the story? At almost a million words, it must be more of a soap opera than a pre-planned story with a beginning, middle, and end that has one major conflict. But that's okay. It's another form of story writing.
You must be at some point in the saga where you could bring it to a close. Maybe all the questions won't be answered, but leave those to the reader to answer in their own minds. Like what happens to certain characters after the story ends. When I do that in a story and readers want me to continue it, I simply tell them, "That's another story. This one is complete." Just bring the story to a satisfactory ending.
You already put so much work into it, why not finish it? The only reason I can think of is that you painted yourself into a corner and can't. Otherwise, why not?
