Go To

1!! For the ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'' FanFic::
2* FanNickname: ''Rhyme and Reason'' established the widely accepted names Chip ''Maplewood'' and Dale ''Oakmont''.
3* {{Fanon}}: ''Rhyme and Reason'' coined the names Chip Maplewood and Dale Oakmont, which has been used by fanfic writers ever since.
4* FollowTheLeader:
5** It inspired following writers to give their stories a DarkerAndEdgier tone. Then again, ''WesternAnimation/ChipNDaleRescueRangers''' canonical setting begged for darker and more intense stories.
6** Also, it introduced Chip and Dale's {{fanon}}ical last names that many Rangerphiles have adopted ever since, including in FanFiction.
7* MemeticMutation: At the fan forum The Acorn Cafe, there is a meme created by 8-Bit Star that states that certain things have been "invented by Ivana M. Killjoy to distract us while she kills the Rangers."
8* OneSceneWonder: ''Rhyme and Reason'' brings back many one-shot characters from the show. [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness 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.
9* 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.
