Whatever can we say about RR fan work? Uh, it's work, and it's done by... RR fans. Oh, and we can also say that this list is especially unscientific and if the story you slaved on is not here, it's really, really nothing personal. There.
Even if you've seen this picture... see it again!!!
This sketch of Gadget would be worth the wait even if you were downloading
it via a modem with a baud of three. IMHO, it should be seen full-sized as
soon as possible by everyone on Earth. The most famous Gadget fan picture
in existance, and the most beautiful. Just bask in it.
A great 24-bit collection of the cast of Star Trek: Voyager,
as Disney Afternoon characters. Every match is a natural, but some are
amazing. (The best are probably Megavolt as the Doctor and Timon as Neelix,
complete with plateful of bugs.) The RR's fit surprisingly well; I'll spoil
no more. Suffice to say missing it would be shameful.
Chip, Dale, Gadget, and Zipper dressed up for Halloween- you'd never guess
as what. Zipper's costume is the best- perfect. Another wonderful full-color
achievement by Liz.
Obviously based on a picture of Chip from CDRR Comic #12 (page 8,) but better.
I laughed aloud. Simply good work.
It's good, but four names? :) Anyway, another great Gadget pose, this time
in full color. It is almost full-body and really shows off
both the character and the artist's excellent control of her.
This is an excellent picture, stylistically similar to "Gadget Reclining,"
but... have you ever seen Gadget grin? No offense, it's very well done.
I'm just still reeling.
Chip and Gadget. The picture is gorgeous. The stylism is very different,
though, and Kalter presents us with two more personality-based shockers:
Gadget in a dress, and- well, you'll see.
It may not be Kalter's best rendition of Gadget, but it is her best story.
Teaching college, an opportunity not afforded you when you're locked up in
an old plane behind a forest of sales-rep-killing traps, finally presents
itself to her, and the result is a natural.
[Editor's note: This is part of Liz's HoloDisney series]
Gadget standing with her arms crossed, somehow reminiscent of the
early models and with great proportion. Splendiferous.
A picture full of motion and technically masterful. Good stuff.
Probably the best of the bunch. Derived from the wing-stitching scene
(say that five times fast) in "Flash," with a later model. This picture gets
dangerously close to perfection.
The fact that this picture is composed of screen captures makes it no less
fan art. It looks like an official Disney poster, and focuses on- what else?
For somebody who doesn't care how she looks, Gadg has a lot of clothing-
and Victor Ramierez captures it all. A must-have.
Gadget wearing an NCSU half-shirt. Good rendition. I wonder how many
people have hacked that shirt to read the name of the local fraternity,
sports team, or semiconductor manufacturing plant.
"Okay! Who wants to find out if this thing WORKS?" Or close enough.
Aside from screen captures, it seems to be the only rendition of this
famous scene.
All right, so I've been bloody well negligent.
"I'll say she did!" "Hush, Dale."
Nice little artsy Gadget picture. More importantly, it loads quickly!!!
Why this work is called "Peltier," when a Peltier device is not a
fan, is both puzzling and irrelevant. So we'll just say this is a Gadget
picture.
Well, I think it's a good picture, so I'm listing it. Hah.
Pretty cool picture of Gadget. Do we trust her with a screwdriver that size?
New, stylistic, and stylish Gadget pictures. Magnifique.
Cute, lavishly coloured, and looking suspiciously like it came from those
calligraphy pens that the talented sort of artist uses. (: Description of
the pose escapes me- you'll have to go see for yourself.
The concept of Gadget in comfortable sleepwear (you heard me right,
no circulation-endangering lace!) is enough to make one smile. It's a
good picture, and has an interesting fractal-ish background. My, she does
look tired. (:
Gadget looking at something above her... (laugh) Cute, cute...
Remember the Boston Marathon? (grin)
Gadget dangles precariously from a branch, high in the mountains, her only support snapping... (pant)
I'm beginning to take these pictures too seriously... /:
Morning coffee, my saviour! (: Great colours.
Only Gadget would go through this to make a snowman. (; Superb expression.
A faithfully manga-style pose with Gadget and a sister of sorts. (:
You've rather got to look at it to understand, so do! Nice rendering, and a
welcome addition to this fairly small genre of RR fan art. (My, the author
does get self-serious. [blush] )
"Dreams of the Rarebit Rangers"
Possibly the first RR fan fiction on the Internet. Don Weatherwax's
ambitious, funny, well-wrought pair of stories are must-sees. They are long,
fun yarns. I won't spoil them- suffice to say Mr. Weatherwax has a
refreshingly good grip on the Rangers' characters and does nice stuff.
"Sisters" is a long, lavish RR saga. No better description.
Aivars Liepa shows us every secret we've wondered about, but that's the
least of this story's accomplishments. The story delves into the lives of
the Rangers, their friends and enemies, and the generations before them, and
is beginning to come together at the end of this installment. The continuity
and real knowledge of all the characters must be seen to be believed.
Rabidly followed, deeply moving, very highly recommended.
Twenty (?!) chapters are broken into eleven parts; "Sisters" is still in progress,
causing acute pain to everyone waiting for the latest installment.)
The 80K file originally on the Gadget Archive is replaced by these files.
There have been story revisions as well as additions.
The Rangers with a hefty dose of Anime. Paltiel Goldstein crafts this series
about the unknown Rescue Ranger- a shrunk-down supernatural alien named Isagi.
Lots of the destruction RR fans have come to crave. :) The stories are all
on the Internet Gadget Archive and many have been released.
A funny short work crammed full of show references and inside jokes.
Character attitudes are well-portrayed (check out the argument Muldoon
and Monty have.) If you decide in advance not to worry about the show's
interspecies communication problems, you'll enjoy this.
Good reading for Nimnul fans and Chip fans.
Ever thought you'd see Dale abusing No-Doz? Well, he has to, by the end of
the Rangers' latest nightmare. Gadget builds really cool neuroscopic
stuff in this one!
Gadget actually has a birthday (and here we thought she was immortal!)
But it's not much of one, since Fat Cat switches bodies with her.
This was my first-ever RR fanfic. Please don't hurt me...
A great unfinished story. A mouse-sized elf finds his way to RRHQ and
Gadget, whom he is sworn to protect. I'll spoil no more. Check it out.
The author describes it as basically normal RR, but with focus on... now who
was it? As of this writing, five episodes and two very short stories are complete.
This series is getting exciting- character portrayal has begun to push superb.
I especially recommend the latest instalment,
"Friendship." For the record, the series' acronym is TAOGH.
It's pretty new for being one of the pinnacles of RR fan writing. (:
The evils of makeup, the joy of a Go Coaster ride, all is here. For the
Gadget obsessive. (:
If only you could put this kind of wit on television. (sigh)
This is a fantastic RR story, original yet perfectly in keeping with
anything you'd find in the series- not counting the deliciously
tongue-in-cheek character portrayal. (Gadget fans, be forewarned, it does
get a little strong with that portrayal, but I think it's worth it.)
More than worth your download time.
The casual observer will note that RR never really had an official motion
picture... [:
Two more stories for the read these! category. (: Originally in WTFB, they've
finally found their way to the ether, and are very much worth the wait.
She tried to keep it anonymous, (anonymouse?) really.
But just between us, Gadget is responsible for this,
ah, romance novel of sorts.
A closed-circulation APA focusing mainly on the Disney Afternoon, with
commentary and fanfic. It has drawn a multitude of talented authors since
its first issue was published December 1992.
Most importantly (well, to us,) it has a sizeable body of RR work.
Its past issues showcased fan fiction from brief to huge, as well as at
least one article on a key unexplained element in the show.
The circulation is thirty members, with new issues every 8 to 10 weeks. All
slots are currently filled with a waitlist in effect. Email the editor,
Jeff Pierce, for more info.
Note: disney.com changed their RR pages AGAIN!!
That includes their pictures. If you missed the first set, that's not
good. What is good is that six new pictures are in. Anyway, our links
are always kept fresh and zesty.
This URL doesn't really belong in the Fan Work HTML, because it's
what we never thought we'd see- an official Disney RR page. This place is
simply good. It's really a small page in terms of information- it has
unique main character biographies including one on the
enigmatic Sewer Al; an
episode guide (as this is the Disney Channel site, it shows only
those episodes the Channel carries, possibly a unique reference in itself;)
3-to-4-MB QuickTime movies; long (+- 1MB)
sound clips in major formats; and the crown jewels- unique, old RR
pictures.
All these pictures- recently changed- show early versions of the Rangers.
I want to know if these pictures are from the
presskit.
The evolution from Rescuers is plain when you look at these
old pictures; check out Zipper. There's almost a darker humour you can sense
in these, and what you find in them may surprise you.
Students of post-RR Chip-Dale-Gadget stuff, try
the Toontown PR guide, official news blurb of the Go Coaster and Acorn
Crawl. Gadget fans, check out who their PR rep thinks the
star of CDRR was. (: (:
Not that there's usually anything else, but I can finally suggest you
use disney.com's internal search engine. Disney puts a surprising amount of
itself into one domain; the search engine covers television, movies, theme parks,
new products, most everything. The engine works just fine (when up) and an
extraordinary percentage of the hits are relevant. (: (You can, however,
discard the few hits you'll get on the Mighty Ducks series, and the program
listings for the Disney Channel USA unless you want 'em.)
Good links all 'round. The little Anterran series resides
here, as does a 'small but efficient'
video and sound archive.
It is essentially the frontend to the Internet Gadget Archive.
Even if it's physically a subdirectory of the RR Internet Resource Page,
the Internet Gadget Archive is one of the very best. As it claims, it is the
single largest source of Gadget on the Web. Mostly pictures- including
lots and lots of exclusives, the best Liz Kalter Gadgets, the
most screen captures,
fan art,
movies and sound bytes [sic, (: ] and more.
Fan fiction is also here.
Any decent RR page contains a link to here. Missing it would be silly.
I've ignored this site too long because it is very wide-focus- all of Disney Comics-
and RR is sort of mentioned in passing. But the mention is appreciated, mostly because of a
huge list of Disney
characters' names translated into different languages. The Rangers, and RR itself,
are included:
Back to top
The home of the series. All the currently released
episodes of TAOGH
are available here, as well as the timeless
"Gadgephile" essay. (: There's
also an indepth
biography of Gadget, links,
and necessities like the
'series updates' page. A fun site, worth seeing for its decor, its links, but mostly, its
series. (:
RRHQ, RoboNerd's non-Gadget RR page, is very new and already very
promising. Its great achievement so far is a complete list
of Disney
Adventures RR comics, with descriptions for every one. (Which ERR may
never be able to give you, given my shoddy knowledge of DA...)
There are links,
fanfic [one fanfic, precisely, (: ] an alternate source for the CDRR
bio cards
(see Products,) a review of the Rangers'
arsenal, down to the infamous glass cutter, links, and much more to come.
A page to watch for.
Liz Kalter
The heavyweight champion of Disney Afternoon fan art on the Net. Perhaps her
best are her devilishly simple, but expertly crafted pencil drawings.
The quantity of her work is surpassed only by the quality, and some of her
very best is RR- the most spectacular, Gadget. Kalter does
everything- I can only comment on her RR work.

A real treat for fans of

Somemouse to Watch Over Me- Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers, The Movie.
Read this.
What can I say? It's Chip n' Dale's Rescue Rangers, The Movie. (huge grin)
While it's an AWESOME story, masterfully crafted, driving, knowledgeable,
intelligent yet faithful to the TV series, utilising characters to the hilt,
better than the Ducktales movie (nyaaaaaah!!) and altogether a kick-tail
script, I can't mention any of that stuff. The fact remains that this is the
script to a RESCUE RANGERS MOVIE, a thing which is so unbelivably wic all
by itself that it really is all you can mention. Therefore.
We've got a movie! We've got a movie! Hahahahahahaaaaaaa!!!!Meghan Brunner
"Culinary Disaster."
Ah... the title pretty much sums it up. There's no better, unspoiling description for
this Dale 'n Gadget story. Check out the explanation of Chip and Dale's names. >;)
"Catch a Rainbow."
A one-point-seven-five hanky story, reflecting on Gadget's childhood. It has some very
powerful insights. Monty's relationship with Gadget is given, at last, the credit it deserves.
Character renditions are superb, positively on model. Highly recommended.
