Felt like talking about my Red Dwarf OC. Ask me anything, I dare you.

Name: Persephone (but everyone calls her Sephy or Seph. The only person who thinks of her as Persephone is Rimmer, but he'd never admit it in a million years.)

Height: 5'4" (I think. She comes up to Rimmer's shoulder, that is my frame of reference.)

Hair Colour: Red. Like, a lot of red, red hair.

Eye Colour: Brown.

Likes: Playing piano, horse riding, reading, Greek mythology, Audrey Hepburn films, eating cheese straight out of the packet, Rimmer.

Dislikes: Being wrong, not getting the last word, spiders, Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, Rimmer (it's complicated.)

Outfits: Sephy is usually seen in oversized JMC uniforms. Her trousers are obviously mens, they gape at the waist and she has to roll the cuffs up several times in order to stop them dragging on the floor. She also wears a grey tank top and a JMC shirt. It turns out she's wearing Rimmer's old uniform.

Sephy also wears a red strapless dress in the Timeslides chapter and a green fifties style cocktail dress in The Last Day chapter.

Misc: Sephy was found in the stasis pod of a derelict, and has no memory of her life before regaining consciousness on Red Dwarf. Rimmer was the one who started calling her Persephone, although why he named her after the Greek Goddess of Spring and the Queen of the Underworld nobody knows, or seems to have even asked at this point. Even he doesn't know, or would rather not think about it.

Sephy has zero emotional awareness or control. Most of her strong emotions come out as anger, which is usually bad news for any objects not stuck down when she's pushed.

Sephy can play piano by ear, although she cannot play Flight of the Bumblebee. When she's frustrated or upset she will repeatedly attempt to play it, and start all over again if she makes a mistake. The boys usually draw straws to decide who has to go make her stop when this happens.

Sephy also smokes when she's upset or angry. She usually steals them from Lister, but respects Rimmer's no smoking signs.

She frequently either takes the piss out of Rimmer when he's wearing his green hat, or threatens to throw things at his head. However, she usually has a pen jammed behind her ear whenever he's wearing it. (Anyone else noticing the wardrobe parallels here?)

So fed up with this writers block. Like, I'm done. I'm just funking done. If someone could take off the top of my head and put some damn ideas in there that would be great.

Been quiet recently because I've been working on a new fic. If you like the Thick of It I think you'll like it.

Malcolm Tucker knows how dangerous a scandal can be. You don't get to the top in British politics without making a few enemies, who would leap at the chance to bring him down with the right story.

He just never expected that scandal to come from his wife.

New chapter of Persephone is up, in which Sephy questions her place on Red Dwarf, and finds an unusual voice of reason.

My writers creativity is telling me to start the next chapter with a cold open of a sex scene. My repressed, embarrassed little brain is screaming no. What do I do?

List of fics, some posted, some not. If you like the look of one not yet posted let me know and I'll get working in it.

RED DWARF

Persephone

The last woman in the universe has no memories, no past and no filter. She and Rimmer could be perfect for each other, or a match made in hell.

Posted on AO3

The Captain's Wife

AU in which Rimmer has everything he's ever wanted, a wife, a family and his own ship. But it turns out being the Captain has its own problems.

Not yet posted (one chapter written)

THE THICK OF IT

Holly Tucker

Malcolm's young wife has a past he helped her move on from, and a present that could blow his life apart.

Posted on AO3

LIE TO ME

Lie For Me, I Dare You

It turns out the only person Cal can't read isn't an expert, or even a loved one. It's a call girl.

Not yet written (idea only)

If you're a writer tell me. Have you just posted your first fic and worried about whether it's good? Waiting for your first kudos or comment? Written something and nervous about posting it? Let me know, I'll go running to ao3 with popcorn and comment and kudos all over the place.

Seriously, I'll analyse that shit like its the required reading for GCSE.

Me, writing: Okay, this is fine. I've written smut before, I can do this.

My brain: What are you doing?! People are going to see this! They'll think we're weird!

Me, smacking head against wall.

Dear email inbox,

I do not care what's in the middle of Lidl this week.

I do not care what new range Lush has launched (that's a lie I do)

I do not care that I still have audible credits. Has Chris Barrie narrated another audio book? No? Then piss off.

I do not care that Good Housekeeping has the perfect traybake for winter (seriously how did I get on a fucking Good Housekeeping mail list?)

If the email is not from AO3 I. DON'T. CARE!

That is my rant.

Back when I first discovered The Thick of It I started writing a story based on it (basically a fanfic but I didn't write fics then so I changed the names and reworked it into a separate story.)

My husband has now convinced me to return it to a ttoi fic and post it, but it's about 18 chapters.

Should I post each chapter as I finish rewriting them, or wait until I've rewritten the whole lot?

Guys, I just counted, and if I write a chapter for every episode in the show, from what I've done so far, it's gonna take 9 fucking chapters to get to Legion.

NINE!

How am I meant to keep up the angst until then? Or write a satisfying payoff if I do manage it? It'd have to be some Earth shattering, universe bending, mind blowing payoff scene, and frankly I doubt my own skill.

You don't need anyone's approval for the stories you write and the art you create. But it's also absolutely valid to want some approval from your audience. Kudos and likes don't determine your creation's worth. But it just feels amazing to receive them.

The problem with making the headcanon that Rimmer smells of sandalwood is that I can now no longer smell sandalwood without going feral.

I must now come with a warning that if you smell of sandalwood there is a high chance I will attempt to, at the very least, crawl into your lap.
