Fic: Beast, part 1. PG.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

A two or three-part fic (they sometimes expand in the revision) squeezed between Cleanup (parts 1 and 2) and Out Of Time.

"We do not need Kryten's help to find out if we can go into a smegging... star... cluster... thing."

Crit is always good. Written for fanfic100. Little Damn Table.

Beast. Yes, well there's a name that bids well.

He tried to trace lines between the stars, like an oversized join-the-dots puzzle. He managed to make it spell a very filthy word

Wheeee! Do I trace the hint of something familliar?

Mogadon cluster!

The stuff that contaminated the water in the lake - or, if you chose to see it that way, the stuff that was contaminated by the water in the lake

Ah, yes. Indeed. Well he would see it that way. I think. Lovely line regardless.
Love the psi scan gag, can never have to many of those. And Interesting exactly how Rimsy fits into Lister's fantasy.

Now just to see what happens *mutters* bloody cliffhanger.

I hope so! And I hope I got the name right. It sounded like Mogadon to me. ;)

In my hopeful and slashy mind, that's how the fantasy would resolve. Ah well!

Thanks for the feedback!

This is cool. Perfect characterization, I think.

eviltigerlily picked out the lines I was going to pick out, so no lines for this comment. Great job!

Hello! Ah, I can tell I'm going to like this little series. Quite episode-like. You're good at that.

like a spoonful of sour cream splattered on a burnt-to-black mutton curry.
That sounds eerily familiar. Heh, I can almost taste it.

Good one. Your Rimmer at his best.

Kryten was very sweet in this.

Cat froze, his tongue extended to lap at the water.
Nice image

breeding some horses he'd find somewhere, with his Cat
*blinks*
*blinks again*
Ah. ;)

and if Rimmer would only act a little more like Kochanski,
Oh, eh?

Looking forward to the next installments. But - erm - I think it might be slow going. *eyes backlog*

Hey, this is supposed to be fun - read as you have time. ;) Thanks! Ja, Kryten wasn't truly nutso yet, and I do like him...

I know, I just can't relax when I know it's there and I haven't gotten to it yet! I feel much better for just having posted a fic. :)
