Well... I'm currently writing a story that has a prologue that is more than 5 pages. I mean, I personally don't mind prologues (unless they are boring). As long as the prologue isn't extremely long you should be fine.

I really can't answer your second question though (the What to avoid? question) since most of the books I have read so far donÂ´t have prologues.

Please just don't write the kind of prologue where the characters are all grown up (I've read a book with it and hated it).
