reddwarfslashHello! I'm new around here, and now that I've finally finished working my way back through the archives and reading all your brilliant stories I am giving up writing because I will never be as good decided I'd introduce myself.
The name's Lexie. I'm 17, Australian, and was an obsessive Red Dwarf fan between the ages of six and twelve. Recently I've re-discovered it, and have spent an entire holidayspittance wages on the DVDs. My favourite character is Rimmer, my favourite series is Three, and I one day hope to write an epic crossover story depicting the torrid love affair between Ace Rimmer, and Lord Flasheart of Blackadder fame. Of course, that'll have to wait until I get out of purgatory school.
Until then, I'll probably drive you all barmy with angsty,not very good drabbles. If I've made any horrific blunders concerning characterisations, canon facts, spelling/grammer, or whatever then please let me know. Although, keep in mind that I've only really been watching Red Dwarf for the past two-months-ish, and that I've only started writing fanfic...well, this week.
This is just a litle something I whipped up, because I couldn't stand just posting an introduction. Rimmer/Lister, 242 words, set during Queeg. No title. We'll call it 'Drabble One'.
-----------------------
“Friendship? Do you know how many people I’ve met in my life I can count as friends? True friends?”
Rimmer is not usually a spontaneous person, but suddenly it’s all there. Everything he’s been feeling ever since he got that letter from his mother, everything he’s had so much time to think about as he’s forced to jog for hours and tries to distract himself from the pain. It’s all there. All there on the tip of his tongue and all he has to do is keep talking and tell Lister how if he, Arnold Judas Rimmer, can still consider Lister a true friend after all the smeg they’ve put each other through, then Lister has nothing to worry about as far as betraying Holly’s friendship is concerned. If Rimmer can still consider Lister a true friend after Lister signed him up for experimental pile surgery, messed around with his memory, and changed his subscription to ‘Roadside Erections Monthly’ to a magazine with pictures of a completely different sort of erection, then Lister just isn’t capable of betraying anyone’s friendship.
It’ll be the perfect speech. Nothing like his awkward, fumbling conversations with girls. It will be eloquent, powerful, heartfelt. He’ll swallow his smegging pride and just say all the things he’s been thinking. Then Lister will stop moping, grin that stupid rodent-like grin of his and then…
…then Lister butts in with a crack about Inflatable Ingrid.
Rimmer pauses. “None,” he says.

Loved this. Loved it.
Can't help you much with Rimmer I'm afraid; I'm the resident Norwegian Lister fangirl. All RD communities should have one!
