The idea for this one just popped up on IRC, so I volunteered to begin it. You all get the drift of it, I think. 1. Never register yourself and your work partner in a hotel as man and wife; it may come back to haunt you. Now it's your turn--if you have any ideas. 
Don't point. You make holes in the air and the faeries escape.

2. If you have a secret identity, think of a few *good* excuses ahead of time so that you'll have one ready when you need to dash off suddenly.

LOL! Great idea, Doran! Hmm... let's see... 3. Never assume anyone's dead just because you're told so.  4. Dreams aren't always just dreams. 5. If you're the bad guy, you're probably going to die.  That's all I can think of right now. Sara

6. Just when you think everything's going well, an interdimensional time traveler will come to interrupt your life and separate you and your spouse.

He he, I like this! 7. There is no relationship problem that can't be solved by flying down to Kansas and talking it through with your parents. And if you'd only done that 100 pages ago, then this fic would be a lot shorter and a lot less angsty Helga

8. If you're not a main character in a superhero's life, and you find out who he really is, your days (minutes) are numbered!
I was thinking of Mayson and then also Bud Collins (?)
Edit: Oops! That's for the show. Does it work for fanfiction too?

Does it work for fanfiction too? I think it works for fanfiction too - especially if you're the bad guy

9. If I fall in love with someone I will tell him now, and not shyly procrastinate, thereby dooming the object of my affection to perish just as I was getting up the courage to make my feelings known.

11. If the Hero tells me he wants to break up with me or quit his dangerous job for my protection, it's already too late; a kidnapping is already in the planning, and I will take all reasonable precautions against it.

12. If you take your wife for a romantic dinner and she orders frogs' legs - assume you're in deep deep doodoo. LabRat 
Athos: If you'd told us what you were doing, we might have been able to plan this properly.
Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

If your name is Clark, a lot of authors like to hurt you. A lot. Take cover and run from green things.
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.

18. Making love with two men at the same time isn't wrong--as long as both of them are your husband who was split apart by an imp from the fifth dimension
