So, I'm back from the dead or whatnot. But, I've reached the surprising conclusion that I want to write a story. And not any story. A very definitive Erica Hahn story. Problem is I'm struggling with content. Several stories have been started and abandoned. So what's your thought? I'm leaning to Erica/OC, but really am kinda open. Mainly I'm

Hooray, I've been missing Hahn and her sometimes biting wit.
How's that for contect... Erica curtly putting someone (this 'could' be read as Sloan) in their place publicly.

Absolutely miss the wit and biting cynicism. I've trie and I just can't find anything comparable.

yWOW, congratulations for coming back from the dead! Got any inside info from the world of beyond? :P

Sorry, I don't think I have any prompts, but I promise to read&comment on anyhting you write ;) Also, if it's not too much to ask, if your muse DOES come back to Erica and Callica, I'd really love it if you could finish some stories that you started. I mainly care abut two of them: the AU Callica story in which Callie is a carpenter and Erica works in HR, and was the one who got Callie a job,and the one in which Erica moves away and meets another woman (of whom you said you pictured like Lauren Graham). I really loved those two stories *sigh*

Anyway, welcome back, I hope you stay! *waves*

Hey! Funny you should mention...I've recently skimmed some chapters from that old Callica story and found I was more nostalgic for the pairing than I expected. So the idea's not completely ruled out.

It's hard to get back into the Hahnverse after so much time has passed. I find that's definitely been true for me. I'd suggest you go back and watch Season 4 (if you can bear it), to refresh your memories. After that, it should be easier to get started.

Since I've always thought Hahn was gay, I'm all for a Hahn/OFC fic, and I've enjoyed the ones where Hahn returns after a period of time to Mercy West Seattle Grace because she's needed in some context. Then you can go many ways with Hahn seeing Torres again: a knock-down, drag out vicious verbal encounter, or Hahn meets the loving Torres/Robbins couple (and baby, maybe), or Hahn introduces Torres to *her* new partner, or Hahn and Torres get back together, or Hahn gets with Robbins, or any combination of these, or something else entirely!

Good idea to go back and watch S4. What spurred my thinking was going re-reading some old Erica/ Callie stories. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the portrayls of Hahn from that time. I appreciate the tips.

Welcome back! I can certainly understand missing Hahn; I do.

Dianeb_047 gave better suggestions than I have, so go with her advice.

If I had more story ideas I'd still be writing. *sigh*

Hey reef! Welcome me back? I should be welcoming you back. :)
I've really, really wanted to start writing again. So, I tried to get inspired by the couple of shows I picked up watching regularly (and I use tbe term regularly loosely). But, despite liking certain characters I just have been inspired by them. For some reason my mind just keeps coming back to Hahn. Maybe it's sour grapes, maybe I just feel there's so much left to explore, maybe I can zee some of myself there, I don't know. But maybe you and I can find some much missed inspiration soon.

Hope you're doing well; or at least better.

This is an unexpected, although certainly not unwanted, surprise! I can't think of anything specific that I'm looking to see with Erica, but in terms of jumping off points, any songs stuck in your head that you can use the theme as a starting point for a fic? I'll let you know if anything else comes to mind, but good luck!

[hot_4_hahn]

Definitely trying songs, but no luck yet. Any song suggestions, that you think lend to a narrative?

For some reason, everything that comes to mind seems on the angsty side, but I have always loved this line:

And if I could hold on, through the tears and the laughter, would it be beautiful, or just a beautiful disaster? (Kelly Clarkson, Beautiful Disaster)

What part of Erica are you trying to explore besides the pairing of /OC? Are you looking for a new relationship for Erica or for something mid-relationship? If its a new relationship, is it the first post-Callie, or has she been dating for a while? If its mid, is it a set back or a breakthrough? Or is there no established relationship at all, just a fling or desire?
