! The Fanon Rangers

Created because [[RuleOfFun I'm just that kind of person]], the Fanon Rangers are the [[strike:official]] [[strike:spandex]] [[PowerRangersRPM tights]]-wearing heroes of TVTropes.

-----

In the beginning God created {{Canon}}.

Now the Canon was formless and empty and darkness was over the surface of the deep.

[[WordOfGod And God said]], "Let there be LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters." And there was a CastOfSnowflakes. God saw that DarkIsNotEvil and LightIsNotGood and did not divide them. GrayAndGrayMorality remained and for a time it was [[SoOkayItsAverage okay]].

Fans were created to admire the {{Canon}} and from them [[StartOfDarkness rose the Canon Corps]]. They learned the ways of the {{Canon}} and used them to defend against DisContinuity and it's ilk.

Eventually, {{Fanon}} arose naturally from the world. The Canon Corps could not deal with the likes of FanDumb and FanHaters on their own. An experimental group was formed, given powers and weapons, and set out to defend {{Fanon}} from those who would do it harm. For a time, it was good.

[[{{Multiverse}} Xanon]], the perfect balance of {{Canon}} and {{Fanon}}, existed in peace. Until [[ContinuitySnarl it happened]]. In an effort to perform a CosmicRetcon the world slipped. Canon became misaligned from Fanon and the Canon Corps turned. In a wave of Retcon the Fanon was attacked.

[[FiveManBand The Fanon Rangers]] stood [[PhlebotinumRebel against the people who had made them]], aiming to stop this aggressive Retconning and prevent ContinuityLockout.

The Fan Haters, like the Fanon Rangers, wish to see change in the current canon - however, instead of attempting to influence change through implementing new ideas, the Fan Haters seek to simply destroy the original canon - and all less-than-perfect Fanon (read: all Fanon) in their entireties. Taking to heart the ideas that things can't get any worse and that anything anyone else has come up with sucks anyway, they seek to simply destroy the Canon in its entirety, and keep the Fanon Rangers from recreating '''the Series'''unless they can create the perfect Script. (Of course, being pessimistic perfectionists, it is unlikely that anyone would be able to create a script that pleases their majority for the next century.) They are known for having invented - and having put to liberal use, to this day - compound IJBM-13, a high-energy-density putty explosive.

! The abomination that is FanDumb.

* The Fan Dumb are those that, in practicing the arcane art of Wild Mass Guessing, fall wayside to the influence of the Epileptic Trees and Voodoo Sharks. They range from those intelligent enough to destroy the creations of others through implementing their own twisted creations, to those rendered peabrained by their power and incapable of nothing but spouting nonsense. It is possible to recover from Fan Dumb, but doing so requires conscious, rational effort, a feat which most of the Converted are incapable of.

Thank you, @/{{Barcode711}}, for coming up with this.

Wild Mass Guessing is the constructor's art, the magic that allows Xanon (collective term for Canon and Fanon) to be created. This creational practice is not entirely peachy, however - it is, after all, responsible for Epileptic Trees and Voodoo Sharks. Exposure to these failed creations - even one's own - can turn one to one of the many Fan Dumb; a strong mind and limiting exposure go a long way in preventing this.
* Epileptic Trees are inert, failed pieces of canon. Exposure is dangerous, but easily avoidable and treated.
* Voodoo Sharks are much more dangerous, and include any major plot elements or characters being introduced or altered. Care must be taken to avoid any interaction with these pieces of plot; they are usually much harder to ignore and farther-reaching.
** Addition from @/KylerThatch: Voodoo Sharks pose a major threat to Xanon, as they can tear open new Plot Holes in their wake, in some cases leaving enough residual Handwavium to turn these Plot Holes into new Voodoo Sharks. Left unchecked, you might find yourself facing entire groups of these twisted creations.
* Plot Holes: A swirling patch of void space created by a logical inconsistency in the plot during the process of Wild Mass Guessing. Left untreated, the larger specimens can damage their surroundings, leaving empty space where there once was a promising story. Can be stabilized with proper application of a Handwavium patch (and indeed, many areas of Xanon rely on stabilized Plot Holes to thrive), but this process is a double-edged sword—mistakes in this process can instead result in the creation of Epileptic Trees and Voodoo Sharks instead. Of course, a more reliable (if somewhat more laborious) method of dealing with Plot Holes is to reconstruct the plot in question to remove the inconsistency, but let's face it, people get lazy sometimes and just opt for the Handwavium patch. -Thanks again, Kyler.
* [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ButtercupIsTiny#Fanon Thank you Buttercup for the first organized plotting we have thus far.]]
