About

erica_leaves { for a much better place }

"It can be attractive to see somebody working when they're really good at what they do."
-Brooke Smith

Welcome to the

erica_leaves community, dedicated to the character of Dr. Erica Hahn from ABC's series Grey’s Anatomy. Our purpose is to provide a place for all things Hahn, with a focus on her life post-Seattle Grace, the exploration of her newly discovered feminine persuasion, and all the "leaves" she encounters out there in the world. We welcome and encourage everyone to contribute to the community through graphics, fanfiction, news links, photos, general discussion and more.

Why a community strictly for Erica Hahn?
You know we’ve all loved (and still do) the pairing of Erica Hahn and Callie Torres, but such a dynamic and luminous character provides opportunity for so much more exploration. This is your place to explore Erica with alternate pairings (e.g. other cast, non cast, AU, etc.), whatever strikes your fancy.

Yeah, but didn’t Erica leave Seattle Grace behind?
Exactly! This community is our space to explore the new "leaves" that Erica sees. There’s a whole wide world of women out there, honey.

But, what about Callie?
Well, that part of Erica’s life is gone, but perhaps not forgotten. This community is dedicated to Erica’s new adventures. Please leave Callie’s new escapades to the other dedicated communities.

COMMUNITY RULES

What’s Allowed:
• Fanfiction, art, discussion related to the fictional character of Dr. Erica Hahn, who left Seattle Grace of Grey’s Anatomy for a much better place.
• News, articles, etc. related to the actress who played Dr. Hahn, Brooke Smith.
• What about Erica/Callie, or elements of Erica/Callie?
-> Our sister site erica_callie is the place for Erica/Callie OTP (one true pairing) fic, but otherwise fics that have elements of both Erica/Other and Erica/Callie are welcome here.
-> If your fic contains Erica/Callie, but is primarily Callie-centric (e.g. focused on both Erica/Callie and Callie/Arizona), this is not the place for it.

What’s Not Allowed:
• No bashing/attacking of members, actors or anyone else.
• Promotion of another community, website, etc. without approval from at least one of the mods.
