I first came across this site when it was being moved to Activeboard (which is where MPC was just prior to moving to the current mpregcentral.net domain) and in the course of things, I learned that just such a story had been started on the site MPC was moving from that did cause a bit of ruckus. (Out of a bit of curiosity, I went over to the other site and tracked down the story in question - as memory serves me, the premise of the story was that a couple with a young son were trying to have another kid, but were unable to do so. They started fertility treatment when the boy was 10 years old, and apparently the woman was supposed to get the fertalized egg into her womb by drinking an orange liquid that had the zygote in it. For some strange reason, they were going to do that in the kitchen of their own home, but for some reason all the adults were taken out of the kitchen, leaving the liquid sitting on the counter. A few minutes later the son, unaware of what's been going on, walks in, sees the liquid, thinks it's orange juice, and decides to drink it, causing him to become pregnant with the baby his mom was supposed to carry and give birth to.)

I do have a few Mpreg stories on Nifty, though I can't guarantee that they'd automatically accept any Mpreg story submitted to them (usually stories there should have at at least some sex somewhere in the story, and anything else, including pregnancy of any sort, is really secondary). There are also sites like FictionPress.com and FanFiction.net (both run by the same people, one for, obviously, fanfic and the other for fiction made up entirely by the author) that also allow Mpreg stories, although I don't know how much they'll permit as far as descriptions of sex go (I've seen stories that have a bit, but not much, so I'd suggest that any story that anyone wants to post there should be written in good taste). This was my reason for asking earlier about linking to off-site stories/artwork.
Since I' m to understand that the possibility of having under-18 stuff still be posted if it's non-sexualized is still being considered, I did a bit of casual checking with a couple of lawyers I know, particularly in the direction of having "non-sexualized" under-18 stories/artwork (if I'm wrong in my understanding of this, I apologize, and ask that you skip directly to the last paragraph). Their viewpoint (yes, it could be viewed as unofficial and not "official" legal doctrine, being in casual conversation, but considering the source...) is that a certain amout would be permitted, at least as far as written stories go.
This would be based on the idea of the previously mentioned shows as "16 and Pregnant" or fictional made-for-TV "Too Young To Be A Parent" movies. It could be argued that because the government has permitted such shows to be aired, there is a limited amount of room for written stories about pregnant teens. The stories could have the act of conception occur after the start of the story, but could not actually dewscribe it (as an example from one of the TV movies I saw a few years ago, when the time for the conception occured, the teens were shown heading towards the bedroom, kissing and shedding a few basic items of clothing like jackets; it then switched to them laying in bed, obviously after the sex - with no physical contact occuring - and the blankets pulled up to their shoulders).
Under-18 artwork (drawings, morphs, etc.) would be a little more difficult in their viewpoint, and it was suggested that it was probably better to stay away from that, at least for direct posting to this site. (Again, these are just some thoughs from casual conversation; Lyric, I leave it up to you to decide how much of it, if any, you'd like to accept.)
Even if it's ultimately decided to stick to 18-and-older charactes in stories, they do make one other suggestion, Lyric - Nifty is registered with 3 of the big companies that make those Internet filters that parent can buy (CyberPatrol, CYBERsitter, and NetNanny; the links to those three are at the very bottom of Nifty's main page) "in a good-faith effort to provide parents with control over what their children access online." (Nifty also adheres the SafeSurf PICS rating system; link to that website is just under the abovementioned filters.) The advice is to consider also register with those sites as well (you don't have to, but it couldn't hurt, the way I see it).
