Trying to write Lister/Rimmer when Rimmer is still in Trixie LaBouche's body is oddly disconcerting.

Just thought I'd share that little factoid with everyone.

*shakes head* the phrase 'his breasts' is just not right!

Edited to add: I have finished writing the fic in question, so if people want to read it, it's here.

The females of the parallel universe were meant to be pretty much exactly like males of our universe; although their universe wasn't completely parrallel in all aspects, they had a male dog instead of a male cat and Hilly didn't invent a Ho- I mean Hilly-Hop Drive at the same time as Holly did. The two universes would have become even less parrallel after Lister had the twins. (Red Dwarf does tend to stereotype with the female characters, but they tend to play symbolic roles most of the time, I've always thought the male characters were quite unique)

Yes, Red Dwarf canon is quite muddled. Perhaps dimensions and univeres are different, maybe there are 6 universes and each universe has an infinite number of dimensions sprouting from them.

In the Red Dwarf Omnibus Captain Hollister is changed to a woman, so it's difficult to decide exactly how gender equality works in the Red Dwarf universe. Maybe each colony has different standards, I'd imagine Io would of been very traditionalist, which would explain the Rimmer family attitudes.

:D I like to think about those cryptic remarks in Back to Reality best, the part about Lister being God is complimented by Holly's comment in Better Than Life, so perhaps there are other elements of truth in the video game storyline.

I get the feeling that Red Dwarf, in some aspects, is very much a mirror of how Rob Grant and Doug Naylor see the world. They're both English and the show has a distinctly English vibe which goes beyound the fact that most of the characters have English accents, and they're both male so female characters are written as seen through male eyes.
