If there are rules:


 * Try not to break too much canon without explanation. If you say stuff like "Piccolo is a Human," add details to why.
 * Try not to swear too much: You can swear in fan-fics, but not too much.
 * Try not to incorporate too much blood/gore/sexual content: This can be considered a follow up to the swearing rule.
 * Good grammar: Need I say more?
 * Find sources: I know this isn't the best rule, but it's best to find sources to the fan-fic. Sources can include in DB:
 * Anime
 * Manga
 * Video Games
 * etc.
 * Have fun doing it!

In my opinion, those can be considered rules.
