@NeilFein Going out on a limb here, I think the main problem with that question is that "rule-breaking" is a really broad category. Perhaps the OP can identify what kinds of rules he's interested in learning to break and how to break it without alienating your audience. That would invite detailed feedback on how to do it, most likely with examples from works that do it really well, thus making both him and us happy.
