Why Steven Gerrard will always be 'Steven Gerrard'

Oh, es ist mir unangenehm es zu sagen, weil ich nämlich das Lesen deiner Alley Cat fic (und die finde ich immer noch ganz fantastisch) unterbrechen musste, aber im Grunde ist es ja auch nur deine Schuld. Ich dachte es würde keinem weh tun, wenn ich da etwas kleineres zwischen schiebe, weil deine fic ohnehin etwas länger ist, und zu ernst für heute Abend. Und weil ich halt in der Stimmung war, hab ich angefangen die Education fic zu lesen, ja, und das mache ich grade..., ja, und ich finde es auch gut, richtig...

Ich muss zu Michael Ballack immer Michael Ballack sagen und eingetlich zu fast allen Promis
°.° hmm, ... nein, ist nicht das selbe. Lol. ;)

aber nicht bei Stevie oder Xabi. Der heißt fast immer Stevie bei mir.
Klar, du magst ihn ja auch. Auf eine normale, gesunde, wahrscheinlich etwas in-dezente und obsessive Art und Weise. Ich *mag* ihn nicht. Jedenfalls nicht, dass ich wüsste, lol.

Hmm. I kind of get what you mean, although having watched 'Stevie' grow up from my view on the Kop (yes, I really am that old) he will always be 'Stevie' to me! (I had a real problem with the fact that I started to fancy Stevie a couple of years back, since he'd always been boyish young Stevie to me, but now he has stubble and eye bags I don't seem to have that problem anymore! Even though Xabi is younger, the fact that he already looked like a man when he started playing for Liverpool meant that I fancied him instantly. :)

I only ever write S/X and I usually write dominant Stevie, but my latest fic (The Education of Stevie G) features a very dominant Xabi and it's so liberating!! And for some reason, I've always labelled all my fics Xabi Alonso/Steven Gerrard and never Steven Gerrard/Xabi Alonso.

yes, I really am that old Heh,I guess that's why it is different for us, not the age, lol, but that you know him for so long. I can imagine what it's like though, what with all the changes those guys go through through the years. When I look at the United players, lol., Oh gee, than I can't imagine they ever looked like they do on some old pictures and in those old games. I haven't been following them for that long, not at all, but I've seem in their younger years, when they were much younger than me, and since I have, I see them with different eyes

I totally missed this.

I have it so easy here, being old enough to be the mum of a large part of the professional players, and I doubt there's any player even near my age. ;-)

(and no, I'm not going to start on how it feels to write smut about boys young enough to be my sons... I write and that's it, time changes anyway)

Haha, I was wondering what it's like ever since quite some of the guys I read about have 'started to be younger' than me.

As long as none of it feels uncomfortable it's most probably all right ;D

And also, well, I think I've come to a conclusion to my Steven Gerrard dilemma now.

[sophiamoon]

time always catching up. One day the big boys you look up to will be "how did they ever get this young"

RPS is uncomfortable enough as it is, what's the use of extra enjoyment? ;-)

That's good. (is it?)

[karneol_vision]

Heh, I never gave much thought to the fact that RPS is really about real people. I mean I know it obviously, and I take it seriously when it comes down to it, but I kinda 'grew up' with it. RPS was among the first slash I read. It was the first slash I wrote. My first real fandom that I loved to bits and that damaged me so severly it's not even funny, lol. All real people.

That's good. (is it?)
It's embarrassing, but nothing that would be that unexpected. I'm not completely sure if it's good, but that doesn't make it go away, lol. The usual course of action my mind takes. It's all about to whom you relate, whom you like, how you think. You can make so much more of it than it is. I'm building my bonds in fiction-world in strange ways, and they always influence me weirdly.
