I know Mellel very well and its combination with Bookends is perfect. But Mellel does not provide any ressources section like Scrivener does.

Quite so, I didn’t realize Scriv-like functionality was needed.
Although, funny you should mention it, I’m happy with notes in something else, currently Devonthink or Curio, and Mellel’s navigation pane serving as the draft binder.
Yeah, I know, lots of folks march to different drummers. Me, I just sort of gimp along pounding my cane on an old garbage can.
For full disclosure, my attempts at long form fiction are just that. Attempts. My longest works are 30-50 page work documents. Bleah. Not the fun stuff.
