Hi Everyone,
I would just like to let those of you who have been following my latest attempt at writing, “Stolen Innocence”, know that the last chapter has been returned to me by Holly. As such the story is finished, with the possible exception of me continuing to tweak the final chapter a bit here and there. The story ends with chapter 24, and now that it is done I will start posting a new chapter every couple of days.
Some have told me I should not be posting an unfinished story, but honestly, I wanted the feedback so I was impatient. However, I kept my writing eight to ten chapters ahead of what was being posted so the comments and feedback did not influence where the story was going, but did a lot to help my motivation. Creating nearly 400 pages of a manuscript without knowing if anyone wants to read it is just not something I am capable of doing. That job becomes much easier when I know someone wants to read it, and enjoys it. So I thank all of you for the motivation boosts.

You should post as you see fit
Melodie -
Some people prefer to wait until their story is complete before posting and others post as they go. It seems to me that you should publish your story as you see fit. I would agree that some kind of feedback is important to know whether anyone is reading.
"Stolen Innocence" is a rather intense story and it's good to know that there is an ending. Hopefully, all of the people who have abused Charlene will see the justice that the deserve. Even though what Charlene is going through is awful, she is becoming a stronger person.
Thank you.
Intense
Yes, it is an intense story. Driving for an emotional response from my readers, good or bad, is one of my goals in telling a story. I would hope that you don’t just read it, you feel it. One commenter stated it was more like real life than fiction, to which I would respond ‘thank you’. However, where my stories do deviate from real life, and move more into the realm of what I call fiction, is I believe in a happy ending.

Stolen Innocence
Good. I'm a sucker for happy endings. :)
I haven't been commenting (bad me), but I HAVE been reading and enjoying... A lot.

MT, I for one
have read your stories, left comments and kudos. Waiting for more.
May Your Light Forever Shine
While Melodie had not completed the story ...
she always seemed to have a good idea of where it was going. I made many comments and suggestions, but it seemed as far as the basic plot was concerned, it was already set. It was the little details enhancing the story that we worked on.
It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

Great Story
Aside from the usual glowing comments...it is a hard read at a times. Now we have to hope for rescue before any further mutilation of his body happens. If he feels wrong with breasts and being a woman, it isn't going to be happier to wake up without his penis anymore. After all this time and trauma he should be able to decide whatever course of life he wants from the point of rescue forward. He's indicated thus far that he wants to be a boy...will that come to pass or will he be too far entrenched to save his manhood?
Each Chapter is a Must Read for me....
