Hi There, I'm New.

[lordvalerymimes.livejournal.com]

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. :)

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??

I thought of having the thoughts be italicized rather than being formatted in the standard quotes for dialogue, but I wasn't sure whether it would make the formatting of the whole thing awkward. I've never written something with so many thoughts before so I wasn't quite sure how to handle it.

I did always imagine that Lister would sound in his head pretty much just how he sounds when he talks, but that's my take on him. :)
