Season 9 ficathon?

[ilthit]

I know this isn't meant to be a fic comm as such, but it's the only Red Dwarf comm on DW, so who else would I ask?

I'd love to see a ficathon focusing on the mythical season 9, or 9 and 10 as long as 10 hasn't been made yet.

What happened with the mirrorverse adventure? Which Rimmer is that? How did they get back to the Dwarf? Which Dwarf is that? Why does it look so different? Why did Kochanski leave? What happened to the rest of the nano-resurrected crew? Or what other adventures did they maybe have that were never mentioned in Back to Earth?

Just basically any fic set between Season 8 and Back to Earth would qualify. I realize plot, science and consistency aren't terribly important in Red Dwarf, but wouldn't it be fun to construct theories on them anyway? 

Any interest? If so, anyone interested in running it? Should it be a prompt-based challenge or a free-for-all, possibly with a points system?

Like a comment fic meme (I think that's the term for when it's not specifically a "kink meme") with anons allowed?

Ah, well, but those wouldn't be terribly fun if it was just me and you. There's not much point in making it if there's not much interest.

Anonymeme? I dunno.

Maybe flog it on some of the comm-advertising sites. There are people who are part of this community that may be interestd but JUST AREN'T LISTENING!!! *screeches and throws things*

I dunno.

Or maybe they're all still back on LJ. I haven't had terribly good luck hosting ficathons before so I'm kind of the worst person to start something like this. This is what we need BNFs for! Although, yeah, fandomcalendar for example is a great place to flog something like this.

The only trouble with comment fic memes is that they tend to inspire short fic - then again, short fic is easy and more people are likely to join in. I am of course being entirely selfish here, just wanting this specific kind of fic. I could just go and write some of my own.

I dunno, I've seen some full-length, chaptered fic spring from such memes.

Though, true, those are not the majority.

I dunno what to tell you.

Short fic is nice too, though.

Ehh, I'll let go of the idea for now, unless something changes. I can always specify it as a request on Yuletide, I guess.
