Hi, I'm Kat. I'm a lurker, or used to be anyway, seeing how I'm writing this right now. I watch Red Dwarf a lot, enjoy it a lot and enjoy slash in just about everything, so of course I enjoy Red Dwarf slash too. I read fanfic a lot, plot it a lot and write it close to never because I'm too obsessed with getting everything just right on the first try. And since that of course doesn't work I give up right away. Thanks to
1sentence I'm trying again, though, and it seems to be working well, so I figured I'd join this place now. I've been wanting more communities to procrastinate on, anyway. =^u.u^=
My favourite pairing's Lister/Rimmer, and it's what I'm writing too, but I'll read and enjoy just about anything since I'm of the school of thought nothing'd happen without getting ever so slightly AU anyway. And there's plenty enough universes around for everyone to shag or unrequitedly lust after everyone else. =^u.u^=
Should warn you though that since I procrastinate even on things I actually want to do, I'll probably post really irregularly... don't let it bother you. That being said, nice to meet you. =^n.n^=

Date: 2006-01-30 10:09 pm (UTC)Thankfully, I was fortunate to have my first fandom experience within alt.startrek.creative.erotica.moderated, which is host to a great bunch of talented and mature people, and I've never really experienced the phenomenon first hand. I feel your pain.
I've never really understood that attitude. See, I'm a canon freak. I need things in my fics to fit into canon, or my brain starts to hurt. Which means I rarely write very unlikely pairings, unless it's a joke or parody. So I try my very, absolute best to try to make my stories - and ships - fit into canon. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't, but I do try. But I ship Lister/Rimmer AND Lister/Kochanski, so yeah.
I should also add that the above is the standards I apply to my own fic, not anyone elses. I enjoy all manner of RD fics! :)
And also; *feels the HHGTTG love*

Date: 2006-01-31 12:44 am (UTC)I was considering a Lister/Ace with hints of unrequited Lister/Rimmer at one point, actually, but thanks to a combination of laziness and perfectionism that never got anywhere... I'm just gonna beat my

Date: 2006-01-30 05:57 pm (UTC)as you can see, I actually made these too. And would probably be using them too, if I had more icon slots. =^n.n^= Hitchhiker's Guide is my second cling-fandom, I'm just slightly less cling-y to it at the moment...

Date: 2006-01-31 01:47 am (UTC)Ja, as to the above conversation... I have my own notions of pairings that I love, of course, but I have read so many unlikely pairings that were written so well that I can't really discount any pairings anymore. So my standard is not is-it-a-pairing-I-like, but is-it-well-written. The closer someone can get to canon with an unlikely slash pairing, the more I love him or her. :D :D
