It was good to get some backstory on these versions of Rimmer and Lister. I'm still very curious to see how we're going to go from this to Emperor Rimmer!
I'd planned the backstory almost from the beginning, but Lister wouldn't tell me what it was until I was midway through chapter 2, and that's where I got stuck for months. I'm making good progress now, and learning to balance writing and the rest of my 'real' life so I don't neglect either one. I tend to focus on ONE THING, aka writing, and it consumes my life. I live inside the story headcanon so I'm distracted all the time, and cannot concentrate on anything else. I guess I understand obsession and singlemindedness after all :)
Great googly-moogly, that picture of little Chris Barrie... the hair! The HAIR!
It's on Chris' page. It's labeled from 1983. Mrowr.
