Fic - Flying. Rimmer/Lister. PG.

[roadstergal.livejournal.com]

This is a bit of an odd thought exercise. The topic of RD as the Flying Dutchman came up in a conversation with kahvi, and I wanted to try it out. Needless to say, concrit could really help this one sit more solidly.
Set in VII. Spoilers up through Beyond A Joke. A recasting of Blue.

I will see you again, my friend.

I think it was supposed to be a wormhole, but I think they were thinking more about visuals than science. ;) Well, why not hunt down Doug's email and ask? I will if you don't!

Where's home?

I think it was supposed to be a wormhole, but I think they were thinking more about visuals than science. ;) - Oh yeah, at some point we're supposed to remember it's just a TV show, and I don't think we need to worry the poor man about this!

Home for me, is Torquay, a town on England's SW coast. Aside from being the birthplace of Agatha Christie and the supposed setting for Fawlty Towers, there is nothing else even remotely interesting about it. But we do have fake palm trees, quite a bit of beach (and as you may have guessed) quite a lot of sea as well. :)

Where are you from?

Ja, we need to forget about the science and focus on the important parts - like whether or not Chris and Craig ever got it on. ;)

Nifty! I've always wanted to visit England. My grad school is too up in the air to do anything this year, but some year, I'd like to fly over, rent a motorbike, and do a blitz tour England, Germany, France, and time permitting, Scotland or Wales. Maybe drop in on DJ. ;) I did hike and bus through Greece in '98, and it was massively fun.

I'm from Chicago, and I still adore it. I think it's the best city I've ever lived in. I've lived there, Philly, two misguided years in Lincoln NE, Berkeley, and Seattle. I also spent some time in New York with a former boy. I've been here in Seattle since '99, and that's a long stint in one place for me. :p I love Chicago the best of all of those as a city, but I love the surroundings of Seattle the best (the natural beauty). I wish I could have both.

If anyone has seen the "of" that should be in the above paragraph, please send it back here. :(

:) Oh slash, how you have warped everything, ever. :) (Though not that we have to look too hard where Red Dwarf is concerned.)

Wow, that's a lot of places. A lot of big places as well. I spend half the year in Oxford and half the year at home, and whilst Oxford is very pretty and is tiny for a city, it still doesn't seem rural enough for me. Once I've finished my degree I'll probably end up living somewhere else though - and I'm looking foward to it. Torquay can be beautiful, but there's nothing there.

I'm ashamed to say I've never really visited Scotland. Have had hundreds of family holidays to Wales so the country, on the whole, brings back rather strained memories, but it's lovely (usual caveat: when it's not raining). I've only ever been to France, Germany, Switzerland and Ireland outside of the UK, and then only briefly. God, I could have stayed forever in Switzerland - but I don't think I can quite afford it! And of course, I'd love to visit North America and Australia, but can't quite afford that either!

I'd love to go on a cruise sometime - but only because I want to live on a boat for awhile. There's nowhere I'd particularly want to go!
