Assessing the fandom.

Must not converse with cheezdanish about Mary Sues.

Note: You needn't answer all questions if you don't want to. Please try not to go too nuts with the tickyboxes. Anyone voting 'Kryten' for any question will be subject to Funny Looks^TM.

Ok, just to get this straight ::g::
You want to find out what everyones favourite Mary Sue fantasy is?
Personally I never have those, my interest in slash is fantasising about the boys relationship. And frankly, no matter how much I love the idea of Rimmer/Lister, I would never want to have a relationship with any of those two dysfunctional nutcases myself (meant in the nicest possible way...)
Now if you had used actors instead of characters - but that would be OT I guess...
As for the question of a crush - in what way is having an unrequited crush on one person preferable to having it on another? D**n nuisanse anyway...

Pretty much, yeah. That's what Cee Dee and I were talking about.

[cheezdanish.livejournal.com]

Well, that...and who among us is in the fandom due to their raging horniness for Mr. Barrie.

I'll second you on all of that. You know, Kryten probably is the best of the bunch, trademark and all. :D

[nessaancalime.livejournal.com]

Was, until he became a mean, deranged psychotic in season VII.

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Hah, it's the opposite in my case. Heh. Though yes, I wouldn't mind Kryten in any of his incarnations. *braces self for Funny Looks(TM)*

[lady-draco.livejournal.com]

I could never have Rimmer as FWB. *shakes head* Listy, however, most definitely =0)

[laurenthemself]

I wish I knew why I broke it down by relationship type like that. I should've just said, 'If you were a RD Mary Sue, who would you be with?'

Still, I think Rimsy's still winning in the long-term department, which is pretty much the predicted outcome.

[lady-draco.livejournal.com]

Aye ... Yes. I agree there. I don't think you could have a fling with Rimmer for fear of hurting the poor man. But he's a long term bloke, definitely. Someone to work on.

For a shag every so often, it'd be Lister *nod*. Unless of course he is shagging Mr Rimmer. Then I won't push it :)

[nessaancalime.livejournal.com]

Ah, that I could answer easily. And yes, I think the winner is pretty certain. The one thing that always tells me this series is written by men, is that they really think Rimmer would have problems getting laid ;-)

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

I have strong feelings about breath and BO. Up until VII, I'd have problems with Lister. He cleans up in VII and VIII, for no reason that is explained in the show.

I'd go for Spanners, though. Or Rimmer's first officer in the mirror universe - although he's shagging Rimmer, so he's not free.

[smeg4brains.livejournal.com]

...You know, I'm going to pretend that you did not include King Smug Git of Pratland on ANY of these lists.

((s'up Lauren? :D))

[kylaanderson.livejournal.com]

Aw, AJ, leave her alone. She's only trying to determine how many people want to shag you, really.

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

Do I even need to fill this in?
;)

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

I was going to say... :)

You know, I would probably get along best with Kochanski II. But I get the feeling that she's hopelessly straight.

TICKYBOXES!!!

[beetle-breath.livejournal.com]

I'd have a one night stand with the teeny Kochanski because her accent is hot, but I don't know the actress's name, so I put the Cat.

(That's another thing about nu-Kochanski that bugs me, she grows liek, fifty feet! It's like if Bridette Nealson decided to cosplay me.)

[laurenthemself]

Oh, sorry, my fault for assuming everyone would know the actresses. First Kochanski is Grogan, new Kochanski is Annett.

[kirstyfromflat5.livejournal.com]

I have to confess..I voted Lister for pretty much everything. I can't help it, he's hot!

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

I'll take an unrequited crush on Ace and a one-night stand with Kochanski Grogan. Kochanski Annett for the rest.

[laurenthemself]

ICON.

[jaclynhyde.livejournal.com]

Despite being straight, I picked Grogan!Kochanski for a serious relationship; as much as I love the boys, there's no way I'd be able to stand dating them... :P

Besides, if Kochanski's taken, that makes Rimmer/Lister just that much easier!

[squiggle-bat.livejournal.com]

Rimmer and Lister... they're so messed up I'd only ever want them with each other. Of the ones on the list think the only one I wouldn't end up strangling into a week of a relationship would be Kochanski, though it'd have to be Annet Kochanski since Grogan's so tiny I'd be afraid of breaking her. Nirvanah Crane would be equally tempting, except again she's far too titchy.

However, Ace would be quite a fun "friend" to have occaisionally fly in for a day of fun. The best thing is as soon as he starts to get irritating you could just convince to go off to a new dimension.

Aww, but Norman's Holly, he just wonderful, if I had to have an unrequited crush it's be him. Damn, why didn't I realise that until after I submitted the boxes?

[laurenthemself]

I think you can actually go back to re-enter your votes. Try here.

[fireformrar.livejournal.com]

i picked rimmer for all :)

unrequited crush is ace :P

[laurenthemself]

Wow, you're a dedicated archive reader!

I'm with you on the Rimmer-love front.
