Multiverse!

You know, I love Red Dwarf because there are just so many smegging universes to play with!

Anyway, Has anyone thought to write a story where Lister DIDN"T have to give up Jim and Bexley? I've messed around with the idea with my writing partner in crime, but never wrote anything with it.

It would be interesting though, yes? How would Rimmer and Lister's personalities change with the responcibility of raising children. There's lots of scenes that show Rimmer not being a coward, and being worried for Lister, so I imagin he'd grow up a bit. How about Lister?

I kindda picture Lister being ... pretty much the same. Him having fun with the kids leaving all the serious stuff up to Rimmer to teach the kids, cause you know RImmer would. *teehee* He'd totally want to get the kids into Risk and history and stuff. He'd probably huff and say Lister wasn't teaching them properly so obvously it was up to him to do so.



Just a thought. But I'm interested on how other people might see Lister and Rimmer's characters changing with kids to raise.

I have some ideas on the back-burner for that... I've hinted at it in some stories, including the one I wrote for lgbtfest... I'll definitely write it one day. :)

Ditto. I have some rather interesting ideas about parenting that I've been tempted to explore.

Ohhhh I've always wanted to read a story where Lister actually gets to raise Jim and Bexley! Imagine how different the episodes from series III onwards would have been!

I agree that Lister would be the fun parent, and Rimmer would want to turn them into miniature versions of himself (imagine Lister's horror if their first words were quoting a Space Corp directive!)

I think Lister would teach them what he thought was important, like London Jets stats and how to 'play' the guitar.

Well, as you can tell, I'm all for a fic like this! :)

I'm a huge fan of any little Listers, so if someone did write this, I'd be mega chuffed :D

I can't stand babies (I fail womanhood), but Jim and Bexley? Adorkable.
