What's your second favourite pairing after Rimmer/Lister? I am assuming that most everyone's fave pairing is Rimmer/Lister judging from comments on previous entries I've made, but if it's not feel fre to say as much in comments.

I don't know what my second favourite slash pairing is, but my second favourite overall pairing is a tie between Lister/Kochanski and Rimmer/Kochanski. LOLWUT.

Although I gotta say that Fia wrote some pretty adorable Cat/Kill Crazy back in the day.

Does anyone know if there's any RD slash out there older than Yuchtar's 'What the Smeg?' (which is from 1999)?

I like Rimmer/McGruder, mostly because of the Last Human novel. :)

Rimmer/Lister is actually my second fave X3 I'm a huge fag for Rimmer/Todhunter but I haven't found any slash for it yet and I'm too scared to write my own ;__; I also enjoy a lil Rimmer/McGruder as well like Thickets :B

Ooh! Where is the Cat/Kill Crazy?

[smaych.livejournal.com]

Rimmer/Nirvanah :)

Can't find it online now, but it was 'Dedication' by Dervla Nightshade.

Oh now there HAS to be Rimmer/Todhunter out there. I KNOW I've read it. I know I have.

AHA! A Man More Sinned Against by noydb666. There is a warning on it for rape, mind you.

aaaand I appear to have sort of written some. The Morning After's got a bit, but I warn you now, I was setting out to write a really, really awful fic and, um, I think I succeeded XD

[laurenthemself]

I'd kill for fic where they end up together and Lister's alone and basically realises they're living his dream. Angst galore, in other words.

[laurenthemself]

Canon pairings are some of my favourite, which is not a statement I expect anyone to believe.

Rimmer/Nirvanah, closely followed by Ace/Lister (the Ace we meet in Stoke Me a Clipper).

^ This!
I love anything that involves the lesser known characters, but there's something about the way that Rimmer keeps going on about him that makes Rimmer/Todhunter very satisying...

Thirded on Rimmer/Nirvanah. I also like the idea of Rimmer paired with any of his counterparts (his double, Ace or Arlene).

As for crack, the idea of Cat/Ace intrigues me, especially after seeing a photomanip of them on dA. The battle of seduction techniques and nipple count between them would be pretty amusing.

Mmm yeah, I like that one. The first person we see him willing to sacrifice part of himself for. It brings out a good side in Arnie J. :-)

[veronica-rich.livejournal.com]

I don't know that it's a "pairing" per se, but is there any Rimmer/Lister/Kochanski OT3 out there? Because I could probably go for THAT.

[laurenthemself]

ME TOO. I wrote it once but it's so OOC and badly written it's not really worth reading. I'm working on a fic now that might end up going that way, or at least being a horribly awkward love triangle.

Thirded on Rimmer/Nirvanah

And me. Also, just about any m/m variation of Lister/Rimmer, but I guess that's hardly in the spirit of things, lol.

I have to say the idea of Rimmer/Kochanski is... intriguing.

Also, I wouldn't mind seeing some Hollister slash, although the idea also disturbs me XD

Hey there,

I've only started watching Red Dwarf recently... but I kind of like the idea of Cat/Rimmer. Although I suspect the fic here just might change my shipping preferences.

And of course, I love Rimmer/McGruder, because what's not to love there?
