A little somethin' I've noticed....

[fire-charmer.livejournal.com]

Hello to everyone out there, I'm new to this community and am a die hard Rimmer/Lister shipper. I have been looking through all of the wonderful fanfic's everyone has posted, and I've noticed that nobody has really written anything about Listers pregnancy. The only fic I have found is on fanfiction.net by Justina Moriarty, called "Dr WatsonSmyth's Guide to a First Pregnancy" (go check it out, it is fantastic!) but nobody else has.

So, since I currently cannot for the life of me capture the essence of the Red Dwarf characters yet, I extend a challenge to anybody brave enough to tackle it. Write a full length fic, not a drabble, about what happens during and after the pregnancy, and for good measure try and throw in some Rimmer/Lister slashiness. Good luck to all who try (and I really hope somebody tries, please try).

I thought about doing a fic about Lister's pregnancy, but then I found a problem: how would he carry them? He doesn't have the equipment.

I read that fic, in fact I have it bookmarked. It's funny, isn't it?

He doesn't have the equipment.

Of course he does. He's in their universe. Their physical laws apply. ;)

Some of us were having a discussion of male pregnancy on another forum, and the thought of having the babies carried in the testicles came up... I mentioned that it would work for a humorous pregnancy, like Lister's. It's something that doesn't work on a hard sci-fi level, but for humor, what the hell?

It certainly makes this exchange more fun:

Twins? No way, Rimmer, not twins!

Oh yes, big bonny strapping bouncing boys they were, as well. With huge heads!

Not in my universe! *gets sympathy pains* Hehehehe...

Awww...

But it gives such a nifty mental image... like those toys that have the handle that you sit on and bounce on...

Yes, thank you...

Sorry, couldn't resist. ;)

Oh my..... that's all I can say

I love it, tis one of my favorite fanfics.

Well according to Arline (sp?), since the twins were conceived in the parallel dimension, those parallel physical laws apply, and the great thing about Red Dwarf is that it is a sci-fi/comedy so any whacked out idea on how he would carry them would be acceptable. Gotta love the sci-fi.

(I don't know if any of that made sense, it did in my head, but my mind is also an uncharted territory)
