Hi There, I'm New.

So yes I'm relatively new to the fandom and entirely new to the world of FanFiction, but I've been utterly smitten with Red Dwarf and all the Lister and Rimmer slash that is out there. I've been reading a ton of it over the last few months and I finally decided to bite the bullet and write something myself. I know I've got a lot to live up to since so much of what I've read so far in the community has been absolutely fantastic, but hopefully it at least isn't complete rubbish.

Also I'm not even sure if it's kosher for me to be posting it here, so feel free to slap me on the wrists if I need to go through some sort of initiation rites first. :)

Welcome! Nice piece of fanfic you've written there - very sexy!

I guess we'll skip the traditional sacrificial offerings in favour of your awesome introductory fic!

BTW I love your icon! Took me a few minutes to clock it properly ^__^

The slash monster claims another victim :D

The images from Lister's fantasy are very sexy and dirty and...oof.

Unsolicited crit regarding voices, feel free to ignore: Some of the thought-quotes read more like things that Lister would say out loud, and that does jar a little bit. But then again, if this were played out on screen, we could be hearing his thoughts in a voiceover, so maybe you're on to something??

Hello! No apology required for joining this comm, especially when you came bearing fic. ;)

If you hadn't said you were new to writing fanfic, I wouldn't have known - this is sweet and sexy. Since you asked, I did spot a typo: "taught member" should be "taut".

I was in the same position as you a few years ago. I nervously posted my first ever fic here, people were nice about it and I carried on writing and gaining confidence, which is the only way to improve. :)

Hiya and welcome to the funny farm. Please, by all means, continue to write :)

(I wrote 11 pages yesterday. 11 PAGES. YAH!)

Usually, people write this from Rimmer's POV; good to see a rare switch. Interesting too, how it's Rimmer's mind getting turned on - or maybe a mashup courtesy of Thanks for the Memory? (The oddest threesome ever, LOL.)

Thanks for the great fic and welcome to the group. I think you'll like it, we're a lovely smutty bunch!
