Thanks for the Ride (L/R Explicit) WIP

[lordvalerymimes.livejournal.com]

Ok, I've never done this before, but I thought it might be fun to see what it's like to post a work before it's finished. It makes me think of old serials where you'd have to "Tune in next week! For the startling conclusion!" In my case it might be more like waiting for new episodes of the Walking Dead to be released on Netflix. You might be waiting a while. ;-)

Originally this was just going to be a one off explicit fic, but the more I worked on it, the more I liked the idea of continuing past Lister and Rimmer's first initial encounter. I have no idea how long this one might wind up in the end, but it will be interesting to see where it ends up taking me. I'll update the tags as it progresses.

The fic is rated explicit, but chapter 1 hasn't yet made it to the explicit stuff. Chapter 2 is nearly completed though, and that's where the real porn will happen. I'm hoping I'll get the next chapter completed and posted before this week is up. :-)

Yesssss I am so here for this.

Lister stepped out of the humper, and leaned back against the door casually, his cigarette dangling from his fingers. He found this pose always seemed to pull in the most customers.

This is an excellent idea and I can't wait for more. Nervous Rimmer is gold. :)

I'm really liking this so far! I like it that you're working from book-canon and re-envisioning Lister's first-ever meeting with Rimmer. The idea of the illegal "humper", which the original owner won't dare report as stolen, fits so perfectly with the tone of the Mimas we see in the book!

Thank you! The idea of the illegal humper was the first tiny seed that started this whole thing. :-)

For some reason 'prostitute' Lister always really floats my boat in fics. To be honest, this first chapter would work really well as a stand-alone, so the fact that we get porn as well is just a bonus.

I'm guilty of this as well. Hence why I'm writing this fic in the first place. :-)

Not-so-guilty confession, at the end of The Lister Problem, even though it was perfectly in-character and correct for Lister to turn down Hollister's offer, there was a part of me urging him, "Do it Lister! Be the ship's bike!" ;-)

I adore that fic. :-D

Me too!! I imagine Rimmer would have been one of the first in line and extremely awkward about it, with his chocolate body paint and olive oil. :p

Don't forget the raspberry ripple, edible jelly underpants. :-D

It's interesting that there are quite a few fics where Lister is a sex worker and none that I can think of where he's unhappy with that apart from one by Felineranger.

OTOH I can only think of two where Rimmer is - one where he's forced into it and another where it's an alternate version who's completely different to our Rimmer.

I suppose that just reflects their personalities and how we imagine they'd react to selling their bodies.

Not-so-guilty confession - He very nearly was ;-)
