I've been tooling around the idea of doing a Rimmer/Lister ship manifesto for a while, and I was wondering, does anyone happen to have any scripts from Back to Earth at all, please?

I just did a quick search online; nothing came up :(

I'm curious; what exactly is a 'ship manifesto?

Sorry for the late reply to this, I only just got the alert!
A ship manifesto is an essay detailing why a particular pairing is shipped. People can do personal ones detailing their own feelings about a pairing, or ones of the history of a particular pairing and it's prevalance in the fandom, or a more meta-related one about how the pair relate in the canon (I'd probably lean towards the last one.) There's tons here: ship_manifesto

Oh, I see now. That could be interesting. I'll have a read (especially the Buffy ones) and see if inspiration strikes. :)

OOOOHhh, that's what it is. I didn't realize people wrote essays about their particular pairing. Interesting. Thanks!

LJ is bad about getting alerts to people, don't sweat it.
