Effective date: July 23, 2026
Welcome to melrook.com. These terms are short because the deal is simple: read freely, and respect the work.
The stories are free to read, not free to take
Everything on this site — the stories, the essays, the artwork, and the site’s own text — is protected by copyright and belongs to its authors. You’re welcome to read it all, link to it, and quote brief passages with credit and a link back. You may not republish, copy, sell, or distribute the stories or artwork, in whole or in substantial part, without written permission. This includes using the site’s content to train artificial intelligence models. Requests are welcome through the Contact page.
It’s fiction
The stories here are works of fiction. Names, characters, and events are products of the imagination or used fictitiously, and any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, is coincidental. Some stories deal with mature themes and are intended for adult readers.
Accounts and comments
If you register or comment, be a decent guest: no spam, no harassment, no unlawful content, and no attempts to break or abuse the site. We may remove comments or accounts that cross those lines, at our discretion.
Outside links and embeds
The site sometimes links to or embeds content from other websites. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for what they do or collect. Our Privacy Policy covers how data works here.
No warranties
The site is provided “as is.” We work to keep it available and accurate, but we can’t promise uninterrupted access or error-free operation, and we aren’t liable for damages arising from your use of the site to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time; the effective date above will tell you when. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
