About
The Ranger fandom has probably hardly never seen a Rangerphile showing as much creativity and proliferation in all its areas as Matthew Paul Plotecher. Born in Madison, Wisconsin, on June 7, 1974, he entered the active fandom in the mid-90s, long before the Acorn Cafe existed, so he was one of the fandom's pioneers. Today, Matt deals with about all kinds of media, and as far as the Ranger fandom goes, so he has done back then. His fame as both a fan fiction writer and a fan artist—and even more than all this—has not faded away a bit until today, and neither has his spirit. Although he has retired from the Ranger fandom, his influence can be found everywhere. Much of the Ranger Code has been thought up by him, he launched the Rescue Ranger Database, he was one of the two Rangerphiles behind R.O.A.R., he has both written or co-written a lot of famous standard MSTings of just as famous Ranger fanfics and invented the Ranger Science Theater, and his own fanfics are recommended to newbies in the fandom still today and will certainly always be.
