Sorry, LJ is being ridiculous and won't let me edit the previous entry, so I've had to make a new one. I started thinking about crossovers because I have a plot bunny involving our boys watching a certain favourite film of mine. I'll post it soon; it's just a question of making sure it's not too self-indulgent. Plausibility aside, what characters would you enjoy seeing Rimmer and Lister encounter? It doesn't matter how ridiculous it would be. ;)
I started writing a Red Dwarf/Labyrinth crossover many years ago that never got finished. I also scraped together the makings of a RD/POTC fic and wrote snippets but never published any of it. I would really love to see a Futurama crossover one day, featuring Ace and Zapp Brannigan. Of course, in the privacy of my head all sorts of crossovers happen - but most of them require very little in the way of an actual plot. If you get my meaning...
You should speak to Veronica_Rich - POTC is her previous fandom. :)
A lot of people seem to think that "Futurama" would be a good match with RD and from what little I know about it I can understand why. Ace also strikes me as possibly the RD character who would make most sense in a crossover because of the type of person he is - a dashing adventurer.
The thing I struggled with the most was getting Jack Sparrow's voice down. There were a couple of scenes where I thought I got it, but I just couldn't do it on demand. Which was a shame, because in many ways he and Lister got along famously (although Rimmer absolutely hated him).
I can imagine Rimmer would hate him - any confident character gets his back up. Add to that the eyeliner and flamboyance and I'm sure he'd react the same way he did to Ace in "DJ". :)
Jack was the character I used to write in our gestalt with Nat; he's fun. Not sure I could write him now that easily. :-)
I feel like Jack is a lot like Rimmer - opportunistic, backstabbing, self-centered. But capable of nobility at rare moments for people they love (yet still capable of turning on them). Whereas Lister is largely noble, willing to fight if need be, doesn't want to leave a man behind - kind of like Will.

Fantasy crossovers, indeed. ;)
