yes.
HELLO.
My name is eebz. 
Having not been born when Red Dwarf started, and it finishing before I was old enough to watch it really. I feel a bit out of touch with the whole Red Dwarf experience. However with my obsessive nature, i managed to watch all 8 series and back to earth, lots of the special features etc. in a week. which now seems like it should have been impossible. but i was hooked! I am not new to slash. nor lj.
I have been doing a bit of lurking here for around 2 weeks and i've read most entries involving a good ol' helping of rimmer/lister. 
umm. whatelse. i'm rather bad at introducing myself.
i am a "failing" slash writer with my finished fic count amounting to a big fat nothing for quite a while I have many half finished fics and ideas floating around my computer, it's just a case of me finishing any of them.
i am frowned upon as wierd for my love of chris barrie among my friends and family.
but i'm sure that's no problem here.
I'M HAPPY TO BE ABOARD THE SLASHWAGON.
*rimmersalute*
toodle pipski.
i hope i didnt make too much of a fool of myself.

PLEASE DON'T HURT ME. I'll happily get rid of this post if people are unhappy about it :(

(edited to take out the many times i pressed enter.)
(i also realise it sounds like a ridiculously short time to have watched that much in such a short space of time. but i do get hooked on things very quickly. .)

....You vaguely amuse me (not necessarily for good reasons), but hi.

Re: o_o

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

o-o this is bad i fear.
but hi back.

(Hmm, impressive on the turn-around time, but that simply might have been because you were still watching it)

So, which episode did you like most?

What's your favorite thing about Rimmer? (since he's obviously your favorite character)

Which episode do you think should just be buried in a fiery pit?

And how many family/friends have you driven nuts with RD?

Re: o_o

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

oh god.
hard questions.
please noo!
xD
um.
alright. Episode I liked the most would probably have to be... well. i have a few for various reasons but i'll go with Quarantine. But I like them all most! They're all good D: I hate choosing. I'm not saying the obvious Blue because of the kiss. Because as you will see in a later answer, I dont like that episdoe for 1 reason.

Fave thing about Rimmer? You've got me there. You really have. Ok. I suppose it's because he's such an anal retentive. I find him immensely funny and i just generally like him. I suppose it's because I just took to him instantly.

Which episode should just be buried in a fiery pit? Any of the episodes of series 7 where Kochanski has a moan about something. Which is all of them I reckon. Yes. very much so.

How many family/friends have I driven nuts with RD? Family: 7/8 so far. the one i havent been annoying to is a red dwarf fan anyway so ^_^ and friends: all but 2. who once again are red dwarf fans.
i'm basically banned from even talking about red dwarf in the house or around friends, because they all get so annoyed.

Re: o_o

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

oh ifail so much.
very much so.
any episode with kochanski in should be burnt.
unless it's the original kochanski, who i liked!

yes.
i'm tired. that is not an excuse for my failery however.
*hangs head in shame*

Maybe... go easy a bit with the ENTER key, as in, don't press it after you finish every sentence. Just the full top will will be sufficient. :P

Re: o_o

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

x.x. well this is reasuring. i'm feeling a bit "woah ok.. not getting good vibes" atm.
sorry. i'm just used to it. i've never had complaints before D: i'll make a mental note to stay away from the enter button when it's not needed. thankyou for notifying me of this :3

Re: o_o

[larbzieg.livejournal.com]

No bad vibes, your comments just read out like some kind of freaky poetry at the moment! I used to have a lot of bizarre typing habits when I was younger too, lulz.

Re: o_o

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

freaky poetry. i suppose they do. i do tend to put full stops in silly places in comments too. ahh. yey! no bad vibes!
also. icon win ^_^

Re: o_o

[tsukinobun.livejournal.com]

*must* you initiate the newbie with such intensity, dear?

i'd like YOU to answer the question of what your favorite thing about Rimmer is, while you're at it! ;)

(beyond the obvious: he's always got a pen)

Re: o_o

[dauphkantus.livejournal.com]

I'd have thought it was obvious! His smeggy charm and all around lovable adorableness!

(and NO HE DOESN'T- link! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHqflNKR2L0&feature=related))

Welcome to the wonderfull world that is Red Dwarf and Red Dwarf slash.

*Gives Gelf handshake*

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

:D
YEY! I feel properly welcome now. Thank you for the nice welcome! I was getting a bit worried before that people weren't taking to me all that well.
I bring gifts of absolutely nothing which I apologize profusely to everyone for. I have a creative flow problem right now x.x

[thi13enthghost.livejournal.com]

Your welcome.

Don't worry about it, I have no gifts either. :)

[hazeltea.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the fun. Everyone here is very nice so don't be shy.

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

^_^
Thanks for the welcome and may I just say what a rather good icon i spy *iconlove*

[tsukinobun.livejournal.com]

welcome. it's always nice to see lurkers come out of hiding. :)

[sunny-bexster.livejournal.com]

Hello! *manic waving*

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

HELLO! *manically waves back*

[kahvi.livejournal.com]

It's so wonderful to see so many new people, and it makes me feel bad for not participating more, and welcoming them in. So welcome, wholeheartedly, you adorably Rimmerine delightful person, you! *waves*

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

^_^ *waves back* hello :D
i feel rather welcomed here now! yeey!
xDD

[bobbybob87.livejournal.com]

Hello! *waves* I feel your pain at not being able to finish fics. No matter how hard I try I can't write a thing in this fandom, so I just comment I'm afraid!

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

ahh! it's v.bad isnt itt. hate the fact i can't finish them :( ahh i think that's gonna be me too!

[scotswriter.livejournal.com]

Hey, at least you start them. I have a fair few locked up in my head but can't seem to get them down on paper.

Oh and hello by the way and can I shamelessly point you in the direction of www.z3.invisionfree.com/chris_barrie_forum seeing as you're a Barrie fan?

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

ahh. i hate it when that happens.
I try when i'm doing something like putting away ironing or tidying, just quietly talking to myself exactly what i want to say and i find that helps.


ahaa. i shall take the direction over there right nao, why thankyou :D

[queen-fiend.livejournal.com]

Welcome! There's a lot of awesome fic here, so have fun! :)

[smaych.livejournal.com]

I like you already. Don't know why, I guess it's because I just took to you instantly ;)

What fics are you working on?

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

:D wehay!

uh. well a few different fandoms.
I'm was supposed to post a part of my Torchwood fic last year but i just cant seem to get it written. (jack/ianto and other parings)
I have a Mighty Boosh one on the go somewhere. (howard/vince)
I have 2 Tomb Raider ones i'm trying to get down onto paper (hillary/bryce)
and there's a RD one aswell, but it's v. v. AU. Not AU as in the sense of different AU characters from within the show, but rimmer/lister, just in a completely random environment. I'm not sure how people will react to it. I like writing AU best cuz I try to keep the characters the same in every sense, just completely move them out of their natural environment. E.g. The torchwood one is not in Cardiff, but in London and the team don't know eachother, and meet eachother along the way.

[smaych.livejournal.com]

Yay, you like the Boosh too. And Hillary/Bryce is yummy, although I only know the pairing from the awesome stories by roadstergal. I'd love to see what you've written, so if you ever want a beta for anything you're working on just let me know :)

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

:D thankyou for that kind beta offer :D
yey!boosh!
ah. yes. roadstergl seems to be the ONLY person who writes it.
i have googled the pairing many times and searched on lj, but they seem to be the only person who seems to write it. it seems that people would much rather have lara/hillary *shudder*

[smaych.livejournal.com]

Well I'll be interested to see what your Hillary/Bryce stories are like :) Maybe let me know where I can find them when you finish? And have you finished any Boosh stories? I've been slightly out of the Boosh lately so if you've posted something I probably missed it.

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

Weelllll when i've got these damn exams done. i'll finally have time to finish my hillary/bryce :D
andd i have only done booshy RPS. and that was really bad mave! i have much love for mike/dave. especially after the spotting of them going into a toilet cubicle together at the NME awards this time :DDD
mind if i add youu?

[smaych.livejournal.com]

Go ahead :)

Also, you write Mike fic! I love Mike, he doesn't get enough fic time. I only really write RPS for the Boosh too (try to ignore the occasional Bollo/Naboo!). Mike/Dave is cute, but I'd slash him with Julian, Noel, Julian and Noel, Julian and Dave and Noel, Dee even... anyone really ;)

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

i am so in love with mike.
maybe it's cuz i feel i have something in common with him because i'm short D:
oooh.
i like anyone slashed with anyone booshy wisee. i seriousy will read almost anything. unless it's rich, that kinda wierds me out a bit o-o
mike needs more general LOOK AT ME time.
srs trufax there xD

[smaych.livejournal.com]

i feel i have something in common with him because i'm short D:

ME TOO!

Added you back (hey look, holograms can touch each other).

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

*POKE*
aha.

o-o you know for about 2 weeks i only took off my H to shower.
i still wear one if i go out somewhere and around the house.
but not every day cuz it gets in the way.
i just remind people by telling them it's a violation of my hologramatic rights to walk through me.
that and it's smegging annoying.

[smaych.livejournal.com]

I... I like you.

[mr-i-jones.livejournal.com]

:D
yey!
i went out with my family.
all day.
and wore a H and my mum pretended not to know me and i embarrassed her in a queue for chips because she asked me what i wanted, and i told her i couldn't eat because my hardlight drive was playing up, so i was having to stay in softlight until i could get back to red dwarf to get holly to run diagnostics.
8D
