APPEAL: My dad's a sci-fi fan. In addition to things like Dr. Who, Mystery Science Theater 3000, Battlestar Galactica, and several series of Star Trek, he has all the episodes of Red Dwarf on tape. So we started watching it together, along with my brother. I love how it's not only well-developed and deep, but hilarious. Ah, British comedy.
REAL LIFE: We all randomly quote it at times, and can start into exchanges (someone will say "So what is it?" and I'll launch into the 'white hole' passage). Even my mom, who has never been a sci-fi person, can quote a few.
COMMUNITY: I only went looking for Red Dwarf info online a little while ago, and don't plan on really diving into the fandom; this is the only community I'm in.
CREATIVITY: Fanfiction is good, though I don't read or write RD fanfics (except a few LxR slash ones). As far as Red Dwarf is concerned, I prefer slash only because I ship Lister/Rimmer. (On the whole I prefer girl/girl relationships =P)
FAN CULTURE: Like I said, I'm not that far into the fandom. My dad has all the episodes on tape plus some of the outtake tapes, and I occasionally refer to it, but I don't think most people could tell you I'm a fan.
