Oooooohhh, story :P

The entire ceiling had been scrubbed clean, sprayed with pine-scented air-freshener, and whitewashed

ROFL *ahem* Oh yes, nothing wrong here, 'sall just perfectly normal thank you.

"My butter is..." his voice cracked. He caught it. "Bread isn't buttered... er... the side with the bread..." Wasn’t there a bloody phrase to use in this context?

My lord that was funny! The whole concept is great by the way, but this line is just...*shakes head* Poor Rimsy...He is just too cute when he's all confused and backed into a corner like this.

He bade a regretful farewell to his sex drive

Yes, indeed, poor thing.

Rimmer would eat his wig

You've used this a few times now, I think it's a lovely line.

Miss... er... Computer, ma'am

Yeeaaaahhhh

slightly nervously wondering if his boots would polish themselves if he kept them on the floor long enough

Hahaha, so Lister. And, yeah, scary.

Yes, very scary indeed. I *ahem* appologize for the lengty comments but there are so many great bits. Again the Computer was great - completely f**** insane. I love the idea that as inasne as Kryten has gone he wouldn't actually intentionally hurt Rimmer.
Alternate Rimmer is just so eerie, the tension there is palpable (don't wanna even contemplate what he has really done to his shipsmates, nope, my mind not going there at all).
Way to end on a cliffhager! Evil *hisses at you* More please?

Appologize for lengthy comments?!? Hell no, we love those! Or at least I do; I can't imagine roadstergal thinks any different. :D

Speaking of C, she does write an AMAZING Computer, doesn't she? I'm going to be bold enough and claim credit for having come up with the basic seed of an idea for this story, but she just took it and ran with it, turning it into pure distilled amazing. Ness. Amazingness.

It's hard to know how to divide these things sometimes, but I always suggest upping the tension by adding cliffhangers. ;) Alternate Rimmer gave me the creeps too - that action sequence was hella-fun to write!

Thank ye kindly, glad you're enjoying it. :)

Oh, I forgot to mention, The moment between Rimmer and Lister in Lister's quarters was just so, SO smegging beautiful! The Computer must Die! Stuip, meddling, whacked out pice of junk...*wanders of mumbling*

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Heh, why do you think Lister swore? ;)

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Oh, she enjoyed the effect. :)

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, I like lengthy comments! :D Yes, kahvi came up with a terrific idea for this, and we just ran with it. :) The Computer is great fun - it's almost like a meaty villan, but not quite. I do like her.

Oh, yes, more to come! :D

The damn chapter ended again! It's an epidemic!
God. Orange. Orange! That's just not Rimmer's colour. ^^;

Awesomeness. Want the next chapter soon though; orange!Rimmer isn't allowed to triumph! =|Nor is nuts!Kryten and spacecrazy!Computer.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's going to be one more like that! *eep*

Ach, that was a dimension that did not have Howard Burden. What a deprived dimension.

Thankee for feedback! Well, wait and see. :)

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

It's like fanfic whirlpool and it never ends! Slash epidemic!

Orange Rimmer is scary, yes. He scared me, that I do know...
There'll be more tomorrow; watch this space!

Thank you for the lovely feedback; glad you're enjoying it. :D

[shivvlan.livejournal.com]

How could I possibly not enjoy it =)

I'm being haunted by orange!Rimmer. I keep randomly thinking of him suddenly when i'm doing something unrelated.

*doing dishes* Man, Rimmer's shoulder must hurt...
*playing with nephew* I wonder what orange!Rimmer did to the rest of his crew?
*walking to store* o_O I wonder if orange!Rimmer had a thing for the Lister from his dimension? O_O I wonder if his Lister was like him? ARGH STOP THINKING ABOUT A FIK IN THE MAIN STREET OF TOWN! "No, ma'am, i'm not crazy, just frustrated, sorry, you and your children can carry on down the street now." ^^;

=P

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe... Now you know what it's like for me when we're plotting and writing these things!

It's really amazing to hear that we are able to evoke that level of interest in other people too though! *blush*

[shivvlan.livejournal.com]

I've figured it out! After being plauged all night by him I realised it's because he's wearing orange. >_>

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Who, this guy?

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

You are so evil.

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

No no, he is evil! ;)

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Yes, but you used your Photoshop skills for evil! :p :)

[shivvlan.livejournal.com]

Can I thief this Icon?

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Go fer it!

[shivvlan.livejournal.com]

HOLY GOOGELY MOOGELY!
You shouldn't DO THAT! Oh MAN!
Now i'm going to end up stareing at it all day and thinking about orange!Rimmer!!
T_T
Damnit, why has he obsessed me?
Oh, man. Orange!

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

I just figured out why this is freaking me out more than it should - you shaded the H so that it's recessed. Eeeyahhhh...

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I wanted it to look different. And since you hinted that it was a more primitive device projecting him, I went for the series I/II "h". I'm not sure I angled it right, but they didn't always in the show either. :p

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Eep! Sorry to haunt, but I'm glad the fic grabbed you. Resolution to come!

[lady-draco.livejournal.com]

Okee - guys, you know it is football tomorrow so this is going to be a tiny comment.

Lovely. And you know the rest from the emaily thing.

*salutes, waves flag*

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie (?)

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thankies - go Aussies! :D

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but does the Aussie football team snog each other? ;) Thanks, ma'am!

[zekkass.livejournal.com]

Oh dear. There's a lot in this chapter. How about I just say I loved the entire thing? Cat!seduction is wonderful. Awkward!Rimmer/Lister in the morning. Psycho!Kryten-whitewashing-ceilings is scary. Psycho!Computer needs to get a different Ace. Immediately. Without killing this one. Orange!Rimmer needs to leave my head. Now. Before I end up going with a he killed the entire crew because Lister wasn't in love with him in his universe!

Dude. You guys rock.

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thank you! Orange!Rimmer seems to have become quite popular. Or infamous, rather. Poor thing.

We love feedback!

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

*blush* Thankee, ma'am! I'm flattered. Lordy, Orange!Rimmer does have staying power, doesn't he?
