How to do Super Saiyan Forms
Never include 10. 6 or 7 is the limit. Believe me, GVB got into 14, and I had to cut it down to 7. Also, keep the Saiyans Numerical (1, 2, 3) Instead of adjectives (Metal Super Saiyan, Flaming Super Saiyan, ect) Also, have only a few characters use the new forms. Having everyone use it ruins it. Ascended Versions of existing forms are a good (If not cheep) way to keep stuff below overpowered.

OCs
You have no idea how many stories have been ruined by

B. Some great grandson or son of Goku. Please, keep the family tree reasonable

C. Xicor. You use him your fanon has pretty much failed

D. Kuriza (See above, but to a lesser degree)
