These are recommendations made by Tropers for ''[[Power Rangers]]'' fanfics, all of which have to be signed to stay on the page. Feel free to add a fanfic of your own to the list, but remember to use the template found [[Fan Fic Recommendations|here]].
Line 38:
* ''Comments'': The episodes between when Jason, Trini and Zack's actors quit and when they were actually written out are regarded as a [[Dork Age]] at best, a [[Jump the Shark]] moment at worst. Yet the broad excuses to not focus on the Red, Yellow and Black Rangers outside of battle gives longtime fan Rovang the perfect window in which to address what really caused the team to quietly split in two before the old guard were [[Put On a Bus]]. More than that, it is a genuinely haunting look at the implications of a series built on the exploded remains of countless [[Monster of the Week|MOTWs]].
** This troper appreciated the justifications for all the odd edits and departures from the characters' established roles (particularly Jason's) that came about during this interregnum- in particular, Tommy once decides to wear one of his old green shirts to remind the others of the "old days", explaining the fact that he needed to wear green to fit with the [[Stock Footage]] from an earlier episode. And during the fight against the Hatchasaurus, what was originally an editing oversight in which the original Megazord is briefly visible fighting in place of the Thunder Megazord is turned into a glimpse into Jason's mind as he remembers the last time they fought this monster. It all works.
** This troper thought the fic was a fun and worthy read despite the almost haiku-like inner monologue Jason occasionally had and other minor [[Out of Character|OOC]] things. The [[Gosh Dang It to Heck]] quality of the show really shines through in the dialogue and Jason's revelation about the Putty ({{spoiler|"It was drawing a bunny."}}) and his attempt at comforting a kid {{spoiler|dressed up as a '''''[[Anvilicious|monster for Halloween]]'''''}} are perfect examples of [[Narm Charm]] (and I mean that as a compliment). There's also something to be said for the existential horror of being trapped in an endless loop of [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save The World]] that the story touches on.
