"No Children under 17" You will not see this rating. I will not accept works with this rating. The very nice people at Tripod do not allow it. Way too many children find my website. I really have nothing at all against it. I just have no way of keeping it from immature eyes.

Any questions about the rating system can be addressed via e-mail.
