During breakfast today, we were discussing which is better, the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook or the psi-scan (Best. School. Ever!). It wasn’t much of a debate, as we were pretty much in agreement that the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook was the greatest, especially since we have never seen the psi-scan translate languages or give history lessons. Still, there might be instances where the psi-scan is more useful. You can hardly wave the Junior Woodchuck Guidebook in the air and then get a complete list of all the gases and substances present.
Then my friend David gets the most kick-arse idea in the history of kick-arse ideas. In order to settle this properly, we have to pit the two against each other. And to do that we need to write (dramatic pause) a Red Dwarf/Donald Duck crossover fanfiction!
Exactly who will get this honour and how it should be done, we did not discuss. But man, it will almost certainly be the most awesome thing in the world.

That would without a doubt be the most bizarre fanfiction ever written. I’m thinking it would be even better as a fancomic, though. Hmmm…

I disagree. It must be done as an angsty, overwrought, overly dramatic piece of prose, with self-insertion and undercurrents of Lister/Donald slash!

This all seemed very interesting until I read your comment, Erlend… upon which it went from interesting to so twistingly and horribly sick that it just has to be done.
I look forward to reading the Cliff-Notes-version of such a fanfic.
Godsspeed.

“Despite his many worries, Lister had to smile as the handsome duck flew into a rage. The feathers flew as Donald and Rimmer clashed. Donald jumped up and down shaking his fists, and Rimmer waved his arms, his nostrils flaring wildly. The triplets were watching with mild interest, but it was clearly not a novel sight for them. The mysterious Sleeper, as he called himself, showed no emotion whatsoever, and certainly no interest in the argument.
‘Please, sirs!’ Kryten pleaded desperately, ‘This is not the time for petty arguments! We have to find out where the pathway will appear next time, so we can get back to our own universe!’
Lister sighed and turned away from the two angry combatants.
‘He’s right guys,’ he said. ‘Let’s get to work.’”
Oh yeah, I think I’m really on to something here!

Damn, that was genius.
