The Omni-zone series

[laurenthemself]

Okay so some of you miiiight remember this massive cracky RDSS crossover that me and a bunch of RDSSers wrote back in the early-mid 2000s. I've put it up on AO3 as a piece of our fandom's history, but if anyone objects to this (not just because my writing is shit, mind you, but like if you no longer want to be in the biggest Mary Sue crackfic of all time), please for the love of all the gods tell me and I will take it right back down.

OKAY. That aside, I did notice something when I was roaming the past, and that is that so bloody many of us wrote Mary Sues (fine, fine, original characters, but I know mine at least was too blatant to be anything but a Sue) who hooked up with Rimmer. Which brings me to the following poll:

[Poll #1520713]

And another thing...

[laurenthemself]

Aside from the Mary Sues, what are you guilty of when it comes to RD fic?

I am guilty of always, ALWAYS referring to Rimmer's hair as 'unruly'. Also of waffling on at length about his eye colour.

I am guilty of going to extreme lengths to write some of the most ridiculous pairings ever.

I am guilty of leaving everyone hanging many times when I was writing Floor 13 because I was such a flake about sitting down and actually writing chapters despite nagging the crap out of everyone to help me with chapter titles.

Edit: I'm guilty of editing the comm sidebar to include a link to the second anonymous kinks meme, but that's the fun sort of guilt.

Kink Meme I :: Kink Meme II

Unfilled Requests at the Kink Meme

[laurenthemself]

I just thought I'd go all pimpy on this and mention the as yet unfilled kink requests from both iterations of the Kink Meme, in case people wanted to go check it out. That and bulleted lists are one of my favourite things in the world. All requests and responses are anonymous. kahvi, I would apologise in advance if this means you get an inbox full of smut, but really, I don't actually see anything to apologise for if that turns out to be the case XD

Part One:

• Sex deprivation. Any pairing (though preferably Rimmer/Lister) wants to have sex, but can't. Desperately wanting to touch, but being unable to, that sort of thing. Eventual fulfillment or not, your choice!
  
• D/s with Rimmer as the Dom and Lister as his sub. Bondage, bossiness, and biting.
  
• Boot porn. 'nuff said.
  
• Dominant, forceful Lister with somewhat inexperienced pet/mistress hologram Rimmer, possible established relationship
  
• A Lister and Rimmer baby, involving mpreg - preferably Lister but it's not necessary! Also, Rimmer getting all parental!
  
• Ditto on the pregnant Lister/ Rimmer request!
  
• Rimmer-as-Ace looking for love Lister in all the wrong places; picking up similar looking guys and forcing them to act like Lister. Making them do what he wants Lister to do to him. I won't complain if there's a happy ending. (They're my kink!)
  
• I'd like to request Lister/Rimmer, an argument turning into a full-on fist fight (perhaps turning into some sex? You know you want to!). Thanks!
  
• Sensation-crazed Rimmer in his new, solid body (post-Legion, or an original plot; your choice) is desperate for sex, and Lister gets the worst of it. Other pairings are fine if you don't do R/L, but I'd prefer serious to crack. (Sorry to all the Kryten/Rimmer shippers out there - your day will come, I promise! ;D)
  
• I'd like to request some back story concerning the "rather sturdy holo-whip" Lister mentions possessing during Holoship.
  
• I know someone already asked for some Balance of Power fic, but how about something post-episode, before it comes out that Lister didn't pass the exam? Lister/Rimmer: d/s, humiliation. (Calling him out on, "If you mean I respect my superiors no matter who they are, and I obey orders blindly and unquestioningly... yes! Yes I do!")
  
• Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but I don't think I've ever read any Ace/Cat, and I'd like to. They don't get much time together, but maybe sometime after Cat is recoving from his leg injury? Or it could take place in an alternate dimension...
  
• D.N.A.- Human!Kryten learns exactly what his brand new penis is for. XD

Part Two:

• Kochanski/Holo!Lister, power play. Well, a little more than power play; I feel that canon implies that Holo!Lister has more or less completely submitted to Kochanski, abandonning all his own interests and just submitting to her will. I would like to see this explored in sex fic form! Domination, submission and dub-con, oh my!
  
• Rimmer/Lister, daddy kink, discipline. I think "Meltdown" through the rest of the series with holo!Rimmer establishes Lister as a kind of authority over Rimmer with the added privilege of meting out discipline. With Rimmer's daddy issues, this could get very interesting indeed.
  
• WATERSPORTS PLZ. I would like fic where Lister is desperate. I'm easy on the situation, but something where he is in situation where he needs to pee and there is nowhere for him to go. I would like there to be a wetting incident, but not TOO much humiliation. Rimmer should be there AND HE SHOULD NOT BE SYMPATHETIC. I'm happy with the sexual aspect of pee being involved, but it doesn't have to be. :)
  
• Pre Back-to-Earth with Nano-Rimmer and Lister in a relationship. Can be something quite sweet and sincere, or just a good ole' screw now and again: writers discretion. Ace Rimmer (Holo-Rimmer) returns for a visit. I want jealousy and bitterness and maybe a little of Lister getting tempted by the Holo-Rimmer.
  
• I would love to see a slash fic featuring any of Tony Hawks's characters from the show. He often plays characters with power or status, so perhaps the kink could be some kind of consensual domination? I don't mind who his character is paired with.
  
• I have a big thing for teaching, as in one of the characters is more experienced than the other and shows them how it works. First times are a big kink of mine, especially if there's nerves and patience and wonderful new sensations. I'd love to see something in this vein with either Chris/Craig or Rimmer/Lister, whichever the writer felt more comfortable with.
  
• Rimmer/Lister with voyeur!Kochanski. Whether she joins in or just watches and takes care of herself is up to you, but she should definitely enjoy herself ;)
  
• Cat is in extreme heat and no women are around. Might as well go after Lister.

Go play, slashers :D Feel free to thank kahvi for hosting this so's we can all be anonymous (and get loadsa smut!). Ye gods we all seem to love our BDSM, don't we?

Yes it's another poll, sssh.

[laurenthemself]

Okay so looking at the kink meme requests made me want to ask this. Respond for what you personally think. Feel free to elaborate in comments. I apologise in advance for the limitedness of the poll options; I wanted to keep it simple to get a general trend.

(My personal tip is that the voting trend will be towards Lister being sub/masochist and Rimmer being Dom/sadist. I look forward to seeing the results.)
