1. No using the fanfic as an excuse not to work on Ira, Kenny, and the rest of the hard SF I'm supposed to be writing.
2. No splitting any given favoured character into more than three or four alternate versions inside my head just so that I can fiddle with sequences of events I never intend to write anyway.
3. No sending Lord Peter Wimsey's nephew to Hogwarts.
4. Or any of his sons.
5. I have not seen enough of the Sherlock Holmes in the 24th Century (or whatever century) cartoon to do anything whatsoever with it in terms of crossovers.
6. Minas Tirith is not a Citie of One Thousande Surprises.
7. Neither is Sam Vimes allowed to arrest the Valar. He hasn't got jurisdiction.
8. Gratuitously playing Hide the Crossover Reference and See Who Notices is really not nice.
9. There are other ficverses than Arda and the Potterverse. They make just as good foundation stock.
10. Charles Constantine, Superintendent, NWMP is not in ANY WAY related to John Constantine, Right and Utter Bastard. Charles was real, dammit.
11. Any and all external references in any Silver Corporal fanfic are to be to other works of Lester Dent. Not to anything to do with Sergeant Preston, and not to do with anything of my own original fiction.
12. Skippy's List Rule #87 is more of a guideline than an actual rule.
13. There are perfectly valid forms of fanfic that have NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with crossovers.
14. Or with stuffing an established universe full of original characters to illustrate a sadly neglected sector of the author's world, thank you.
...there will be more as events warrant, but right now I'm in the middle of reading Murder Must Advertise and I had this horrid image of Lord Peter attempting to help out in the fight against Grindelwald.
