They keep popping up on Tumblr or rather, ideas for them do.  We're having a lot of fun discussing them so I thought I'd post on here too.

I have an idea in my head right now which is the most cliched scenario ever and I apologise in advance, but ... I can't help thinking that stressed student Rimmer developing a crush on the most popular, flirty barista at his local coffee shop would be adorable.  Sorry. :o

Can anyone else think of something less obvious?  The scenario in my icon would be a start, I suppose. :)

I still kind of fancy the idea of Rimmer and Lister as rival hair-dressers. But I think I more fancy just drawing them like that for the imagery, rather than it being an actual story. I think I just want to make them both up as hair-dressers, and draw Rimmer glowering jealously at Lister through the big mirrors.

I can actually see it really clearly - Lister in his "Meltdown" green and black shirt and the leather trousers, happily chatting to a client whilst he does her hair and looking impossibly pretty. Why can't I draw? :/

Being able to draw is a blessing and a curse, because you're almost never as good as you'd like to be. I can picture things SO clearly in my head, but actually being able to do them justice is a completely different thing. :)

I don't have nearly enough time to practice as much as I ought to either!
