Hardly seems necessary
...since Prarie girl already posted her story here. When someone suggested that you post it at Fictionmania as one complete autobiographical novel I think they meant that it be as a substitute for the serialized "STANMAN PRESENTS:" version with your name all over each installment (which some uncharitable souls seemed to perceive as self-serving on your part...) rather than in addition to that version. You've been given a great honor & an equally great responsibility in being entrusted with the dissemination of your friend's writings, and if I was in your position I would tread cautiously. Without being able to know for sure what Prarie Girl would have wanted, it might be best to let her story remain in its current form here...

What borders on stupidity?

The story already appears here in two different versions
why a need for a third. I could be wrong, but wanting to honor her memory is one thing. Publishing it in perpetuity every so often makes no sense at all. Perhaps writing your own tribute to her memory would be a better idea, since this story is available here and elsewhere already?
She was born for all the wrong reasons but grew up for all the right ones.

Hmmm...
I see nothing wrong with you posting someone elses story yet again. But this time I do think you might REVISE the story a bit. Perhaps even EDIT it a little more. That way, when your name appears ahead of Melissa's there will be good reason. I also think that this story should be posted here, as well as everywhere else under the sun and stars, so that NEW readers to the sites will be able to read and learn from it. Anyway, doesn't each time you revise a story count as a 'new' edition?

A shocking story!
But oh so typical.
Stanman, you are a saint to have made this awful story available to others.
It should be posted on every TG Site on the web.
I like many others, was sickened and brought to tears not only because of the obscene violence and abuse by her so called 'parents' as she rightly described them, but also by the parrallels in my life. Fortunately I was never beaten or raped just rejected and 'put away'.
This single sentence reinforces the ghastly tenet of Melissa's dreadful life story that I a child removed voluntarily by its parents should be thankful when compared with what happened to Melissa.
Yes Stan, (I hopethat's a correct name for you,) please post this stoy to Fictionmania.
It need to be broadcast from every mountaintop on Earth!
Good luck and God bless,
Beverly.
