* FollowTheLeader: [[AvertedTrope Averted]], interestingly. Although it was the first of its kind, both its sheer [[DoorStopper size]], [[ToughActToFollow quality and intensity actually intimidated the early Rangerphiles]] and made them ''shy away'' from writing fan fiction because they knew that they'd never be able to even come close to it. The ''CDRR'' fanfic tradition was actually launched a year later by The [=RoboNerd=]'s series ''The Adventures of Gadget Hackwrench'' which was meant to be continued by other writers. Its own first episode, ''Sizable Chances'', became the first part of a wholly different line of highly-acclaimed fanfics, [[Literature/TheNeverEndingStory but that's another story]].
** Played straight in that it inspired following writers to give their stories a DarkerAndEdgier tone. Then again, ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''' canonical setting begged for darker and more intense stories.

Added DiffLines:

* ToughActToFollow: Early Rangerphiles thought they could impossibly write anything even close to ''Rhyme and Reason'', so they didn't write anything at all until the next ''CDRR'' fanfic that was published turned out vastly different. That said, ''Rhyme and Reason'' did rake in Golden Acorn Awards for Best All-Time Fanfic (tying with ''Webcomic/OfMiceAndMayhem'' ever since that one was released) for almost as long as it was eligible.

** Also, it introduced Chip and Dale's {{fanon}}ical last names that many Rangerphiles have adopted ever since, including in FanFiction.



* OneSceneWonder: ''Rhyme and Reason'' brings back many one-shot characters from the show. It actually differs from later ''CDRR'' fanfics in that it doesn't feature the famous {{Ensemble Darkhorse}}s like Foxglove or Tammy a lot, if at all, while including characters never to be seen again in fanfic.
