Warning: Rated R - Strong language and sexual content

1. Know the damn characters.

2. Mixing and matching ranger teams only works when you have a reason for it.

3. Raping Kimberly and torturing her to death has been done.

4. Kat is not EVIL.

5. Neither is Billy.

6. Neither is Tommy.

7. For that matter, all Ranger characters are intrisincly (def. "on a basic, unalterable level") good.

8. You can make them evil IF you actually give a plausible back story.

9. Alcoholism isn't terribly entertaining.

10. Same with drug use.

11. No matter how fascinating you find your very own DayGlo Orange Ranger, odds are that you are the only one.

12. Sex is ok, if you do it well.

13. Odds are that Jason is not going to feel sexually normal after Billy gives him a blow job and then fucks him up the ass.

14. Jason is not likely to thank Billy for the sex by then taking Billy's anal cherry.

15. Trini is not likely to suggest that Billy have sex with Jason to make Jason feel more sexually normal.

16. The Rangers are such that they are all very likely to use protection.

17. It's very unlikely that Tommy would cheat on Kim.

18. If Tommy did cheat, Kim is not likely to fuck Billy just to show Tommy her displeasure.

19. When portraying homosexuality in PR, remember that Jason doesn't appear to be openly gay.

20. It is pointless to cripple a Ranger and then hand over superiour powers that effectively cancel the injury.

21. In general, communing with spirit animals is cool, but can also be super dumb with just a stroke of the pen.

22. Enough with Billy communing with wolves.

23. There are no wild wolves in California.

24. It's very unlikely that Billy is Dulcea's son/relative/husband/lover.

25. Same for Tommy.

26. When making up your own Ranger character - don't have them be so damn perfect.

27. Do NOT have your new Ranger character immediately score with your personal fav ranger of the opposite sex.

28. No special powers to the new Ranger either.

29. Just because you're gay, that doesn't mean your favourite Ranger is too.

29a. Same as above, only substitute for "transvestite."

30. When writing sex, remember to actually stay in character. For example - Trini isn't a whore.

31. Stories where Tommy runs around behaving like a crazy psychotic individual with no apparent reason are dumb.

32. Evil clones are kinda stupid when you really think about it.

33. Yes, the Rangers are dumb enough to be fooled, but just the same, your evil clone better not run around breaking federal laws in front of the Rangers.

34. Billy and Kim are not likely to enjoy being forced to rape each other for over a year.

35. Billy has no secret room in his house.

36. No PR story with any group of Rangers should use the words "cunt" or "pussy."

37. Zordon will never muse on whether the boys have "nice tight asses."

38. No PR story should ever have "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer" in it.

39. Never, ever assume that the audience remembers what happened last season.

40. Justin can be an interesting character.

41. Justin should never be used in a porn story.

42. No one wants stories about Tommy racing cars.

43. Billy has never appeared suicidal. (I am speaking about fics where Billy is eating pills, playing with guns, causing car accidents, etc.)

44. Andros' preoccupation with his sister is almost as boring as Tommy losing his powers.

45. Likewise, no one cares about Tommy's problems.

46. Tommy is not Japanese.

47. Tommy is not related to Lord Zedd in any way.

48. Billy is not the child of aliens.

49. T.J. should never use the word "nigga."

50. In general, racism is a tad heavy for a PR fic.

51. No matter how much you want it, Skull is not a smart person.

52. No one wants stories about Bulk and Skull.

53. Kendrix and Kimberly are not lesbians.

54. Evil spells in fics are just as dumb on paper as they are on TV.

55. The new villains that you make are also just as dumb.

56. Your evil spells should be consistent with the show.

57. Evil spells and sex make REALLY STUPID stories.

58. You better keep the characters consistent to the show. Example - Trini isn't a whore.

59. Stories about Billy's relationship with Cestria are boring.

60. Stories that involve Cestria dumping Billy and shipping him back to Earth need to have more than the first three lines of the story to set it up.

61. Stories where Kimberly is held as a slave and has Tommy's baby are dumb.

62. In general, using Rangers as slaves on alien worlds is pretty dumb.

63. De-aging Rangers was awfully stupid on TV…so what makes you think it'll be better in a fic?

64. Aging Rangers was also pretty dumb.

65. When crossing story lines with other shows, pick something that people have heard of.

66. Having Jason raped stopped being amusing a long time ago.

67. Jason isn't likely to allow his father to rape him repeatedly without simply running away.

68. Torturing Jason with abusive parents was interesting once.

69. In general, crippling Rangers needs to be done well.

70. No one wants new Rangers.

71. Making Lt. Stone a Ranger is pretty dumb.

72. Making Lt. Stone a Ranger by killing Billy and Aisha is really dumb.

73. Never screw around with fake PR villains and actual Earth god figures.

74. Never use pagan stuff unless you have some clue about it.

75. When killing Rangers, be tasteful.

76. Ashley is not a fucktoy.

77. Carlos, Zack, T.J., Cassie, Aisha and to a certain extent, Rocky, are merely token characters.

78. Taking a Ranger and using him as an "Angel" replacement in a "Buffy" crossover is just stupid.

79. Recreating old Ranger powers is stupid (thanks Derik).

80. When using Mulder and Scully - They damn well better be characters.

81. No one likes your personal Ranger team so don't make them better than the real team.

82. No one likes your special Ranger either.

83. In general, characters from other shows should not become Rangers.

84. This includes characters from Highlander, Buffy, and Star Trek.

85. No matter how much you like a Ranger, making them so much better than the others just ends up dumb.

86. Please don't take out your mental illness on PR - this refers back to Billy being suicidal, Rangers with mental illness, drinking problems, etc.

87. Angel Grove is not goth central so leave the vamps at home.

88. Pikachu is incessantly cute...too cute for PR.

89. Ashley is awfully bitchy on the show...her character should reflect that personality trait in fanfic.

90. Rita and Zedd don't work as good guys...sorry.

91. No Power Ranger should ever describe a sex act.
