Damn. And I didn't think there was any good to come out of Gone. I thought about holo-Lister, but I thought it would be hopelessly cliched. You managed to make it work realistically and un-cheesily. And lovely-ly.

First - *whacks Rimmer upside the head for the unkind sex* Insensitive bastard.

The figure was five centimeters short of his height, stockier, somehow more… solid; more real than should be possible for an object made entirely out of light. Five rasta plaits slithered down its back like absurd snakes.

Great stuff.

assuring him that he looked wonderful, and honestly, if it wasn’t for that rather fetching letter on his forehead, no one would even dare to think he’d been dead for two thousand years

Lovely Kryten.

Rimmer didn’t react to this. There were very few things he allowed himself to feel, on the whole.

*sigh* And another one for his hemming and hawing outside of Lister's door.

Rimmer’s head slumped back in his chair, feeling all semblance of control leaving him, his body convulsing in deep, heavy spasms. Was ( ... )

I seem to remember you getting antsy a month or two ago over writing - gasp! - sex into a story. You seem to have had some bad influences on you since then! ;)

Yeah well; it's addictive, what can I say. ;)
Although, I've always found it easier to write nasty, aggressive sex. It's the touchy, tender, feely explicit stuff I find hard. I don't want it to be too crude or too fluffy. I think I'm getting better though!

Thank you, that means a lot. :) As I told you earlier, I was worried about getting Rimmer's voice right, but I tried it from Listers POV, and that just didn't work.

Awww... He's been through so much. Lister knows that. I couldn't see this happening any other way, really.

*sigh* And another one for his hemming and hawing outside of Lister's door.
Personally, I'd like to whack Lister for not understanding that Rimmer needed protecting just as much as Kryten did. Oh well, he got there in the end!

I'm very glad you liked it; you inspired this with your story. I just couldn't leave the poor guy there. And I wanted to test the hypothesis that anything get better with Lister. :)

Yes, folks - make everything better with a little Lister®!

Yeesh - I'm up too late again. *makes no sense*

It's true, though; he might not be The Man With The Plan, but he's the man with the drive, and the man with the heart.

kahvi April 27 2006, 07:50:28 UTC

That's why I love him. :)

Don't fall asleep on your keyboard! Nothing good will come of it - trust me!
