Heroes...

[poemwithnorhyme]

I have been taking a massive trip through memory lane this weekend. Heroes related. I miss it so very much. Too bad it went to shit. But it was good times while it lasted, very good times. I met so many great people, and learned so many things. It was totally worth the amount of effort I invested in it, even if the show itself eventually broke my

Good lord, I have missed you. You just said how I feel so well, once more. The good and bad of Heroes being my first fandom. I've never again gotten involved as deeply as I did with Mylar, and I don't think I ever will. The reasons vary, but, mostly, because there are no shows quite like Heroes on tv. And I don't think there will be for quite some time. Heroes was definitely unique, with its character and its original, brilliant plot. Other than that, with the kind of fic I'm known to write, it's hard to find another fandom quite as accepting; just like you said. Heroes enabled so much creative exploration, and the community was just fantastic. I felt like I was part of a family or something. And man, I miss my family, XD

By the way, I keep meaning to read all of your Inception drabbles, but I keep forgetting. I am going to get to that eventually, and I'll comment on every one. I miss your writing so much, so I have no clue why I haven't done that yet...

Outside of my nonexistent fandom, things are going relatively well. Still going to MSU, I've changed my major just like you.. I've now decided to pursue History, probably teaching. Medical just wasn't for me. When I went to Rome this past summer and squeed like a fangirl over the pebbles on the ground, I knew what I was supposed to be doing with my life. So, definitely a rite of passage. Life is okay right now. Not great, but okay.

I love that you had an epiphany while in Rome about what you wanted to do with your life :-) Absolutely follow your heart, what you're passionate about.

Fandom is an experience unto itself. The good is great, the bad is horrid. I've had mostly positive experiences and though I miss the hey day of mylar_fic, I try not to dwell too much in the past. Once in awhile I'll read fics I loved from way back then and it's like meeting up with an old friend. It makes me smile and feel a pang of nostalgia.

Glad to hear that for the most part things are going okay for you :-)

Same with you. I hope things continue to go well!
