An introduction (and my Lister x Rimmer 1sentence response)

[jargonelle.livejournal.com]

Well first of all, hi!

I've been a Red Dwarf fan for many years but it didn't even occur to me to play in its sandbox until I came across katrin007's entry at 1sentence. Since then I've attempted this challenge myself, writing fifty sentences about Lister and Rimmer's relationship here, using a different set of prompts (and with a PG rating overall). A couple are AU, a few are an excuse for me to practise writing insults and there are one or two very tenuous links, but I'm quite pleased with how most of them turned out. Any comments you have will, of course, be more than welcome.

Thought I might introduce myself before I start spamming your entries; I am definitely looking forward to reading them!

Thanks!

Yay, I'm inspiring. I feel all accomplished now =^u.u^= I just wish I could actually write anything other than my set of sentences...

nice to have you here =^n.n^=

The sentences were sort of addictive... I think I may be ruined for writing anything normally now.

And thank you, it's nice to be here!

Oh, these are all wonderful! I'd like to give spesifics, but I'd just end up re-listing them all. Oh, I do need to cite some favorites:

#6. Whimsy - I particularly like the "girls in silly hats".

#7. Wasteland - nice point about Lister actually being angry at Rimmer. Such a horrible thing to do thought, that.

#11. Birthday - ah, but HOW did he wake him up? ;))

#31. Smirk - *swoon* Yup.

#34. Serenade - I think this might be my favorite.

#46. Horizon - or this. Both are excellent!

And welcome on board - it's good to have you! :D

Thank you very much!

I wanted more schmoopiness, but every prompt just seemed to lead to general bitterness or anger instead.

Thinking about it now, 31 may have been where it all started and well, as for how Rimmer woke Lister up - that might have taken more than a sentence to describe! :)

Now that I've had a chance to read these...

#2 - haaa!

There's something about 5 I just love.

#8 - Oh my!

#11 - Oh my!

#13 - Awww...

#16 - *crack* Arrrgh!

#18 - Mental image - Oh my!

Something about 21 gets me...

#23 is a slash fic waiting to happen!

#26 - Oh my!

#31 - *dies*

#33 - Oh my! (And it kinda reminds me of Kahvi's fic about Cat slipping into Lister's bed at night, which is another bit of writing I found ludicrously provocative.)

#35 - *taps nose*

#39 - That's a bit I love about RD. :D

#45 - Oh my!

#46 - *dies*

#47 - Arrgh! Yeah, I wrote a fic based around that same smegging thing...

#49 - *dies, perhaps for real this time*

I'm taking 'Oh my!' to mean a good response? (On second thoughts: don't tell me if it's not.)

Hehe - thank you very much for the comment!

Now I've got to work up the skill to put some of these sentences into context...

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes, my Oh my!s are good Oh my!s. ;)

Do it! Fanfic good!

Of course my brain is rebelling:

'Don't write the slash,' it says - 'other people are good at the slash. Why not write that complicated plot thing with the several intersecting realities and the time travel and the brainwashing and the amnesia?'

*deletes first attempt* *looks around for inspiration*

Why not write that complicated plot thing with the several intersecting realities and the time travel and the brainwashing and the amnesia?
And the slash? I like my porn with plot. :D

[jargonelle.livejournal.com]

Well, I wouldn't want to throw in the memory-loss or the brainwashing or the confusion between alternate dimensions just because it facilitates the slash, would I? That would just be tacky. :)
