First, it is essential that I inform you that I did not come up with the actual rules themselves. I merely asked permission to use Saphura's Rules from The Official List of Unofficial Rules to write these drabbles. I did not post a single thing until after I had permission to write and share what I have written.

The original author, Saphura, also has a story, The Official Reasons for Unofficial Rules. Basically, she has also been writing stories for these Rules but she has not done all of them so I have decided to write some of my own drabbles for the Rules. I may include some Rules she has already done but I will try to avoid writing the same story.

Now, please bear in mind, this is The Original Series. I've started watching these recently and therefore have not watched the entire show yet. Because of this, some characters may be slightly OOC, and the information may be inaccurate or just incorrect completely. However, I do try and do some research to avoid mistakes.

Finally, I may not write drabbles for all Rules because there's over 1000 of them and some of them are very difficult to write for. Because of this, they may not be in order either. I may start with Rule 1, move onto Rule 124, and then go back to Rule 30. This is mainly because I've written for about 10 Rules so far and I'll be writing more as I go along.

I will try to update at least once a week. The fact that I have 10 written so far, should help.

Again, I'm sorry in advance for any and all mistakes. Feel free to correct me if there's something that's bugging you.


1. When you re-materialize, it is unnecessary for you to make sure you have all your body parts. We are pretty sure you would know if something was missing.

The two Ensign's looked at their bodies. The same thought process occurred each time. Arms. Yes. Legs. Two. Right. Ears. Eyes. Feet. Hands. All there. What about hair? Yeah, yeah, not bald yet... They had just finished checking themselves when the next, and final, Ensign beamed up. Pavel let out a bloodcurdling scream as he collapsed onto James Kirk who had beamed up with him. After a moment of James pushing him up, he stood up again and moved himself off the transporter, clearly in agony.

"DOCTOR MCCOY. TRANSPORT ROOM." was all the panicking young woman, who was replacing the usual Scotsman for this particular shift, could manage before running towards the young navigator, mumbling a long and very fast string of apologies that Pavel didn't quite catch. Doctor McCoy, however, did not receive the message. He had already been on his way after hearing a scream. When he'd heard it he'd immediately headed in to the Transporter Room. He knew they were due back so it was more than likely it had been someone who had just beamed back up who had screamed. Once the doctor had fixed up Pavel, who had lost the tip of his finger and an inch of his hair (it was more painful than you'd think and there was now a fair amount of blood on the floor) the two Ensign's looked rather sheepishly at each other.

"Guess we don't need to check then? I'm pretty sure we'd know if we're missing something..." one mumbled whilst the other just looked at him in a state of disbelief.

"YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CHECK IF HE'S OKAY?" to which the Captain replied,

"He's with Bones. Not some first-year medic, still being trained. He'll be fine. The only risk he has is the risk of getting a hypo to the neck.". He rubbed his neck, wincing slightly, at the thought.

2. Making sound effects when using the transporter are unnecessary, childish, and makes you sound stupid.

"You're an adult. Doing that just makes you look like a bit of a wanker" the Scottish man commented in a thick accent, although he couldn't help but let out a chuckle along with the others in the room as the two Ensign's made whooshing and whirring noises when they appeared on the pads. The two Ensign's appeared to have a sudden interest in the floor as they stared at it.

"R-right...". An Ensign coughed awkwardly, looking up for just a second, and with that they left, looking extremely red.


I could probably do with some names for the Ensign's actually since they're going to pop up in basically every drabble. If you have a suggestion for a name, let me know, please.
