The Brittas Empire - Recs, Vid & Fic

[lost_spook]

I've spent the best part of the day reposting things, and collecting links and so on. So I decided to share, even if nobody else may be grateful... In this post, you will find Brittas Empire fic recs, a clip, and a bit of fic I would never write. Except I just did.

Well, it amused me anyway! :D Just imagining the expression on Rimmer's face now...

Thanks for the recs too, and for the clip - it's been a long time since I've seen any Brittas Empire and that gave me a few chuckles. :D

Oh, well - glad I'm not alone. I'm sure I've seen a longer fic that was like a missing episode. I got as far as coming to the conclusion it was probably on Yuletide, but the website was down. If I find that, I'll probably post the link. Unless, obviously, it was all just another disturbing hallucination...

The fic started to get far more talky & then I realised that writing proper Rimmer when you've just been watching Brittas clips is all but impossible, and that wasn't the point.

Well, I'll look forward to that (if it exists!)

I can imagine that the two would start to blur together, whether you wanted them to or not...

I can sort of see how Rimmer would naturally loathe Brittas on sight, just because of the resemblance.

Yes, I thought I'd have to assume that Rimmer would automatically hate anyone who looked that much like him. Especially someone who had a beautiful dream about bringing people together through sport...

I think maybe the fic I'm thinking of was on Ffnet, so I'll see if I can find it another day when I'm feeling brave... (The one on Yuletide was the other, better Laura/Brittas story. I'm sure I did read one somewhere that was missing-episode fic, and I was impressed, because that's quite a hard show to do that for.)
