Ficlet - The Way. PG.

[roadstergal]

A sort of a followup to Annoyance. I don't want to tie kahvi's lovely story arc into this angsty thing, though, so maybe think of it as an AU? It's just that Stoke Me A Clipper tugged at my sleeve and cleared its throat after I wrote Annoyance. Thanks to her for one of the images.

Crit is always good. Written for fanfic100. Little Damn Table.

Aww. Poor Lister. And poor Rimmer, too. It's weird to read bitter Lister's voice, but that sounds very in character, too. He might never actually say anything, unless he was in a really bad mood and about to burst, but this is what I imagine he would feel in a situation like that :/ Oh, my poor difficult darlings.

and you coulda rode a horse wearing - I dunno, a white suit or summit
*inspiration!* Now, when I have that mental image, I can't let it go and really want to draw it. Which is good but kinda bad, too, because I want to finish kahvi's pic and draw at least one R/L blowjob pic and... *makes markings in calendar*

Oh, Lister can be bitter. Especially in the later seasons; he has higher to fall, because he was an optimist at the onset. Rimmer started out a pessimist, so there's not all that much for him to lose faith in.

And that was the image I gave her, so yay! :D

I feel like there's a little bitter coming out of everybody in VI... that's what I find intruguing about it. Then - something is happening in VII. It's the 'something' that I love to play with.

Oooh, yay! You will make us both happy if you draw that. :) I have a bit of a thing for horses...

I can see if I can get some Return To Laredo screencaps, if you like.

Yeah, VII definitely made me go "Hmm!" And I still would've liked to see what would've happened with the whole show, VII and VIII, had there been no SMAC. Ah well, a girl can dream and speculate :P

If you manage to find screencaps of Rimmer and Lister riding horses, as seen from the front, I'd be filled with Happy :) But no matter if you can't find 'em, there should be random horse material in Google anyway. And no need to hurry either because I really do want to draw that fellatio pic :P Damn Red Dwarf for giving me so many inspirations at the same time. It's crazy. Before this autumn, I had drawn only one Red Dwarf fanart piece (and it was crap so it's nowhere on the Internet anymore) and now I'm drawing Red Dwarf all the time and not getting enough of it. And for once I feel like I'm doing the whole drawing process properly :)

You should make a Red Dwarf Slash calendar. Seriously. I'd buy it.

[noirenails]

That's an interesting idea. If and when I've drawn 12 Red Dwarf pics I might make them into a calendar :) ...or I could start drawing pics specifically the calendar!

Agh. Why am I so easily influenced and why do I keep getting so many inspirations right now when I should be reading "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" and loads of other course books? D: Hm. Study at the day time, draw at night. Yes. That's a sensible way of living. Right?

I can't let go of the idea. I really have to start making art-related markings in my calendar. "Monday: draw sodomy"
