Love this look into how Rimmer became Rimmer. It makes so much sense and the flow is pretty good for what you were trying to accomplish. Beta-readers do exist and if you're ever in need of one, feel free to look me up.

Aw! Rimmer angst! You've gotta love it!

Lovely story! Wonderful!

I look forward to reading more by you!

Lol, I have an on and off BETA reader, but she hasn't BETA-erd since chapter 35 of Q3...kinda shows doesn't it? Well I'll be happy to BETA for you, I love your stories and I'm usually bored as hell during the evening, so I need something to do! :D

Anyway, great story! Next chapter ASAP, please...? ;)

well written, I use to hate Rimmer. Thanks for getting me into Red Dwarf.

Aw! Poor ickle Rimmer! God love him!

I'm becoming addicted to your writing dear! :D

I was just reading this, thinking about what a lovely 'angsty young Rimmer' story it was, and I got to the bottom of the page and I read this: 'that's SORT OF like 'The Teenage Years of a Loser called Rimmer'. I was very pleased, delighted in fact that it might have 'inspired' you or something. I'm very much enjoying your writing. You capture the moment and people's feelings perfectly!

Nice. Another test...dammit.

Nice and suttle. Midnight meeting...? Y'know, I should try that...

Rimmer's mum is a complete bitch. It's unfair how they should treat a 7 year old kid like that. But, it goes on, guess.

Damn, I have too, a little. But it's from a black girl in my year. I hate her. I'm not racist or anything, but I really hate her. She's really sly and cheats her friends, but they don't know that yet. Sorry, I'm starteing to remember stuff, so I'll keep going.

Oh you like "Not a Good Day", do you? Thanks muchly. I did pick up on some of the similarities between our fics but they're nicely different too. This one's great. Looking forward to the next update.

I'm from England, we go to primary school aged 5-11 andhave one tteacher each year, then we go to high school aged 11-16 and the chilldrenn move to different classes, i didn't go 2 a bording school, but i think its the same as a high school system, i also don't thinkk ppl as young as 7 go. oh and great stoory btw, soz for sticking keys

Well I can't. But this is great! Please carry on! Etc...
