Gestalt Fic Ahoy

Title: Spanners - Part I
Authors: kahvi and roadstergal
Rating: PG-13 (For this part.)
Pairing: Alternate Ace/Alternate Spanners, Rimmer/Lister implications.
Spoilers: The End, Dimension Jump, Terrorform, Legion, Emohawk, Stoke Me A Clipper, Blue, Nanarchy, Only The Good - pretty much spoilers for the show as a whole.

This takes place after the end of VIII. A followup, of sorts, to Return and Back, although reading them is not necessary to understanding this story.

"Good old Spanners, eh?"

Ugh, I need to read some Pratchett!

I see Red Dwarf as being, primarily, a character drama. The sci-fi is just there to help that along, IMO - clones, psi-moons, figments of Mister Lister's imagination made flesh, etc. I also feel that it's a drama-based comedy, and really runs on the fine edge between drama and humor, dipping its toes in both. That is, I feel, why it has such a rabid fan base - there is just so much there, so much more depth than in your typical comedy.

Mort (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0552131067/qid=1149613554/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_3_2/202-6015408-3175027) is generally considered to be a good starter book. It was mine. :)

Pratchett is an RD fan. I don't think that's without significance.
