An AU thought.

So what if Rimmer, having gone off to be Ace, happened to turn up in a dimension where Red Dwarf exists as a TV show, and watches Series VII to find out how the others are managing without him, and sees 'Blue'?

The Rimmer Experience aside, if he had feelings for Lister, might that not send him in search of his own home dimension again?

Just throwing this one out there in case anyone wants to pick it up. I have so many plot bunnies at the moment (chrisscorkscrew has been slipping them carrot-flavoured body paint) and I thought I'd share.

You're so mean Lauren... Here's me trying to work on two het/gen Ace fic additions to the Chronicles (one is only one chapter off completion) and you're giving me more new ideas. Trying to be well-behaved and actually write the buggers, hehe.

I'm just sharing the love! The rapidly-breeding-bunny love, that is. *looks innocent*

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

Hehehehe.

You did write 'Under Orders' for me and Bitsy....as long as you wouldn't mind waiting a good long while for this one?! :-S *nervous*

(Of course, if someone else, including chrisscorkscrew wishes to re-claim this bunny then please do!)

I had to wait years for cheezdanish to finally finish off 'Body Swap, Take Two'. I'm sure I'll manage. Besides, considering some of the times I've left people hanging with fic? It'd be pot, kettle, black.

....I only woke up an hour ago and think I've only just clocked into reality and realised I've just agreed to write you a fic, despite the fact I have a hutch full of bunnies and no mojo. How do you do that...?

[laurenthemself]

Nine years in the fandom must've taught me something about appealing to people's talents :D

P.S. T-shirt still not stained, but tomato sauce all over cargo pants. How does that even work?

I've been writing RD fic for 11 years but only posting for 9 years - ten year anniversary next year then! There should be a celebration. With cake. *nods*

Ooh you should cook spaghetti bolognaise in that tee and then eat it. I NEVER fail to get splattered whilst cooking the sauce...

...oh but then the thought occurs that it's also red. Bugger.

Well, I've been writing RD fic since... the 8th of September 1999, I was counting nine years from starting the RDSS. I have too many fandom anniversaries (and also too many Excel spreadsheets tracking my fics).

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

Gosh I can't say I have Excel spreadsheets (mind you, with your Epic Win Skillz it's a necessity!). I just refuse to read anything of mine I wrote before - oh say - 2005? Hehehe.

Stains idea - get some turmeric and mix with some water and stain away - I reckon persistent staining with this you'll get some orangey stains (and authentic Indian too!) hehe.

I started it for tracking word counts and now there's dates and titles and all this stuff and yearly summaries and augh. I worry myself sometimes.

I cooked spag bol and ate it the other night and that didn't help. Tuesday I'll try gardening in it.

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

Glargh, Lauren! I've already started planning this fic out for you WTF?!? ^__^ Honestly, you know I can't resist your charms, hehe.

[laurenthemself]

*blush* Awww. You know, it's nice having someone writing fic for me for a change; I seem to end up writing a lot of fics for other people. Not that I mind, I love the writing, but I just got my WIP folder sorted out and it's rather ghastly. There's one in there I started for fiareynne's birthday... in April... of 2008... *headdesks*

You're more than welcome my dear. Well you know I dedicated 'Between the Lines' to you to make you feel better. I've only done one other ficgift before - 'Caterpillars and Butterflies' so must admit I'm a little nervous(!) :-S

I'm gonna make it an elongated oneshot if that's ok so won't be a long 'un. That alright for you?

[laurenthemself]

I know, and 'Between the Lines' was just my cup of angst :D

Whatever you want to write is fine by me! I'm just chuffed that you're doing it at all.

[missflibble.livejournal.com]

I'm honoured to be asked. Honestly and truly. ^__^
