hmm

The rules for writing in Elfwood have changed a bit. They now say, in part:

"Do not use vulgarities within your stories/poems. If in doubt about a words appropriateness please leave it out, find a way to rephrase the sentence using a less offensive term or censor it like so %&*$! A good guide, if you wouldn't use it in a speech in front of your school, please don't use it in Wyverns."

One character tells another to "Bugger Off" Under the new rules I should have written "%&*#$@ off!" which, to my mind, actually looks more offensive than the original.

I'm not sorry I deleted my library shelf.

Now I have to stop being slack and get the stories on my homepage.

They're not hypocrits, just wowsers trying to protect the children

Children dont need as much protection as some adults seem to think they do
