One of PG-13′s chief tragedies is the failure of its innovative updating system. When we started out, the system was set up to split the workload with the viewers: you send me a picture, I post one of my own as well. This idea might work a lot better in the Web 2.0 era, but working with plain HTML, I inevitably buckled under the tedious pressure of twice-weekly updates in such small chunks. Updates became basically quarterly for a while, and they became special events unto themselves– every update was a new artist’s coming-out party. Though the share-the-load tactic may not have panned out, its ultimate goal was achieved anyway. So many of the greatest artists and writers of this community are ‘graduates’ of PG-13– no other website besides DeviantArt has come close.
It may be unwarranted, but I’m vain and have a huge ego. PG-13 is actually one of the things I’m pretty modest about, because I’ve always kept one thing in mind: if I hadn’t done it, someone else would have. Heck, someone else DID, and he even beat me to it. It was simply something that the time was right for. This being said, whatever it was I was doing, people must have liked it a whole lot for PG-13 to have gotten any fans at all in its first few months of existence.
Princess Annabelle was her name: much like Sleeping Beauty, she was cursed from birth by a jealous fairy, who prophesied that by her eighteenth year she would have “a heart as big as all outdoors… and a belly to match.” For fear that their daughter would crush their whole country, the king and queen had her shut up in a tower so that she would never see the outdoors… but at least she had an internet connection and could share her wonderful secret with anyone who wanted to be friends!
It’s strange to think that it was ten years ago that I launched a project that, for better or for worse, has been the axis of my life ever since. Whether you were there from the beginning or found the archived site too late for any updates, it’s still connected with me. It was never lucrative, never brought me fame, never even necessarily made me a better person or provided a valuable lesson; that’s OK. From the start it was about one thing– making friends and sharing something special that we didn’t get to celebrate anywhere else. That’s why I’m still proud to say I was the PG-13 guy.
Hey ladies! Being women we get to experience several things men don’t. Thus we are awesome. So why shouldn’t we want to fulfill our maternal destinies.

I am Wombyn hear me roar.
Are we sure we know what we’re doing?
It’s a major project with a lot of possible complications,
yet here we are just jumping into it
like kids jumping into a pile of leaves.
These things take so much time and effort.
Excitement can turn into resentment so quickly.
It’s not like getting a puppy– Mom and Dad won’t take care of it when we get bored with it.
(OK, OK, “If” we get bored with it. And I’m certain we will at times.)

It’s a Miracle.
How many times do you hear that in relevant media? It often comes along with a tale of infertility and a vast number of procedures, pills and needles. Most often it results in the birth of multiples that get their 15 minutes of fame on the news.
Why is it that people attribute science that has been perfected since 1978 to a miracle.

Remember what things were like in, say, 1992? Back when you were just starting to hear rumblings about what was then called the “Information Superhighway,” at the time personified by prohibitively expensive hourly services like Prodigy and e•world? Remember how alone you felt about your shameful thoughts that no one else could ever understand? What was the only place to find your secret prurient interest back then?
Maybe you’re not that old, but I am, and for me, it was pregnancy guidebooks. I’ve always loved them. Here’s the start of a new series in which we pay them loving tribute, while simultaneously mocking them mercilessly.
In our last installment. Lyze shared his experiences with telling others about his love for pregnancy. Today it’s our lovable leader G’tron’s turn.
Sometimes it’s best to let the experts handle these things, I guess.
