Lest I forget that I actual enjoy playing in Being Erica on many levels, I wrote a Kai/Erica piece for a Valentine's challenge over at scifiverse . Gosh help me but I played the theme straight up. It's meant to be a song. Non-explicit.
Fandom: Being Erica
Valentines Letter (well, song...) from Kai to Erica
One More Un-Regret
Wrote a song for a girl out there, somewhere
Knew how far but never saw how close, we'd be
When feeling overcame my common sense, I
Wonder why I never thought about the distance, between
Who are we now, and
Who are we meant to be?
Is it under our control or down to destiny?
I guess we'll see
Write a song for a girl out there, I know
I'll play it for her just like I did, once before
Different now, we're still the same, us two
Nothing applies but the law of who we want, to be
Who we are now, or
Who are we meant to be?
Is it under our control or down to destiny?
I guess we'll see
I also came across this idea, part of Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory (*refrains from making the obvious joke*) --> that of the adolescent moratorium. The idea is that there's a freedom from consequence marking the teenage/college years that promotes free exploration of passions and ideas. So what ? We say, That's all in the past... But more recent thinkers have postulated that the internet fills this same function in a post-AIDS age and when college tends to be professionally oriented.
I remember the intensity of the teenage years, particularly how deeply I connected to my fandoms, and to media in general, and how so much of the rest of my life branched off the energy and focus I found there. Searching for that, again, is one of the major reasons I decided to throw myself back into fandom a few years back. So, I dunno. But reading about that, I just thought it was pretty awesome - like I wasn't the only one who noticed.
