Competition - ficlet, R/L

Rimmer seemed to me to be the jealous type, but when I tried to think of jealousy in the context of Rimmer/Lister, Kochanski isn't what lept out.

'Tis all done! Just needs editing. Seven smegging pages... *wipes brow*

What I like about your Lister is how you manage to make him thuroughly disgusting, yet attractive at the same time. I do identify with Lister more that Rimmer; in fact, I probably put too much of myself in the character at times. I really try not to! I'm not sure how I write Rimmer. I think I understand his angst and insecurity the best, because I used to be like that in grammar school. (Oddly enough, I was popular in high-shool. Not that I'm complaining!) And I believe in aliens!

I'm going to have to figure out a way to have Lister eat oranges the way I do in a fic. I can't believe I missed the opportunity in "Orange". Oh well... *ponders*

I haven't gotten my groove to write a long fic. That's my next challenge, I think.

Disgusting is alluring in a very narrow range. It's easy to overdo it. But sex is messy (if done right), so there's a balance there.

"Aliens!" Best in Thanks For The Memory, IMO. SpaceMonkey has an icon from that scene that I just love.

Orange is great; my favorite of your fanfics thus far. I love the imagery, and the twist at the end is a perfect squee. :)

It swelled a little when I added the extra plotting, which had to be done. That was what was missing. Gonna post soon, methinks. Just some extra polish. *buffs fic*

Ooh! I'm glad you liked Orange so much. That ending gave me a headache worrying about wether it worked or not, so hurrah! (I can't help thinking of Hugh Laurie as Prince George in Blackadder III whenever I say 'hurrah'.)

Also, I just realized that I draw somewhat on my boyfriend for my Rimmer-inspiration (Rimmspiration?). He's a little like him, but also, I just have to think of how he would react to my Lister-ness.
