Crossovers (Continued)

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

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. ;)

Rimmer and Lister in Toon Town. MWAHAHAHAAA!!!

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...

The great thing about RD is that thanks to infinite dimensions/time travel/etc. technically any crossover is possible. I once wrote a short crossover with Jeeves & Wooster, though admittedly that was mostly to see if I could do it. I've seen some crossovers with Doctor Who, but don't know enough about it to know if they get it right.

I'm not sure what I'd want to see a crossover with. Blackadder, maybe?

I never wrote it, but I always wanted to write a DEATH/Red Dwarf crossover, aka how the guys survived that weird virus thing.

I'm just getting around to reading The Hunger Games, and now everything looks like potential crossover material.

Rimmer's father and brothers are probably all Victors, so when he gets reaped, there's a truckload of pressure for him to live up to the family history. In a different District, Kochanski gets chosen as the female tribute, so Lister volunteers in place of the male tribute, planning to protect her. Cat and Kryten are Rimmer and Lister's stylists, respectively.

Nobody wants to make an alliance with Rimmer when his pre-Games score is a 3...except Nirvanah Crane. At some point in the arena she willingly sacrifices herself to save him, and that's when his plan changes from "find a tribute who looks sort-of reasonable and beg them for a quick and painless death" to "smoke me a kipper, I'll be back in the Capitol for breakfast."

Kochanski knows that in order to win this thing she'll have to stab Lister in the back at some point, and she's practical enough to do it, too, but she feels increasingly guilty about it.

At some point they team up with Rimmer, and either manage to escape the arena itself via an improbable series of heroics involving alligator-surfing, or pull a three-sided version of Katniss' and Peeta's trick. (Kochanski is planning up until the last second to fake the other two out, but then Rimmer says "well, better dead than smeg," and that pushes her conscience to win out after all.)

If I ever, and I mean EVER, get back to it, I have a RD/Doctor Who/Tomb Raider story started. It was just going to be DW/TR, but that damn smegger Rimmer insisted on butting in. Haven't figured out if there's any sort of plot there, or just Hillary in the TARDIS.

I have read a few Tomb Raider/RD stories, and a few Brittas Empire/RD. Laura seems to like Rimmer, as he's not Brittas and she can do with him what she can't with Gordon. :D It's late...have I read a TR/RD story?? Or is that just wishful thinking in my head? Yes! Lara and Bryce were touching a box the same time as Lister, Cat and Kryten, and they swapped places. So Lara had Rimmer (and not Hillary), and Hillary had to put up with slobby Lister and Cat sniffing Lara's undergarments. Don't know if that was on FF.net or AO3.

Rimmer was in The Simpsons comic strip if you want to go cartoony.

Since I've been inundating myself with it the past two weeks: Star Trek Enterprise. Just because. Or have them land in TNG; they can meet up with Q and see if Q gets annoyed with Rimmer faster than Picard. Any space show will work, obviously. It's the ones where they need to be on Earth that would pose tricky. Hell, throw Kryten in the Star Wars universe, and have Luke pick him instead of C3PO.

I have an idea for a crossover fic but it's one of those fandoms that people either love or want to murder everyone in it so I'm not sure if I should even mention let alone try writing it ._.

I started writing a Red Dwarf / M*A*S*H* crossover about a billion years ago. I think I got as far as Sargent Zale helping Lister put Kryten's leg back on. Houlihan was hitting on Rimmer because he showed up in his white Commodore uniform, and Cat was chasing the nurses. :)

All right; who submitted it? :)
