elrhiarhodanIt's meme time again - a double whammy I ganked from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lokifan (part 1) and preromantics (part 2 - which I am pretty sure I already had played) and reconfigured for my own base use (code is below, if you want to play along too).
PART ONE
Pick any character from the White Collar (my main fandom), or The West Wing, Farscape, Burn Notice universes and I'll answer the following questions:
1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her.
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by his/her relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how would you see yourself interacting with him/her? Would you get along well? Fall in love with him/her? Dislike? Have a friendly rivalry?
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about this character (if you dislike) to someone new to fandom?
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
PART TWO:
Now, let's talk about pairings. You can either use the character your asked about above or pick a different on and pair him/her up with any other character (more than one is good too) in that fandom or the other fandoms mentioned in Part One and I'll tell you about a fic I would write about them if I had the time. You can also give me a pairing or threesome or moresome an and A/U scenario and I'll tell you all about the fic that it would create.
I can't promise that I'll write any of these fics, but I always like thinking about stories I may WANT to write
Have at it, you crazy kids!

Date: 2011-03-25 03:35 am (UTC)Will you do minor characters? Any thoughts on Victor from Burn Notice? If not, then I'll ask for Diana.
For Part II, what would you do if you had to write Peter/Alex/Neal in a historical AU?

Date: 2011-03-25 05:52 pm (UTC)1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her.
I love Diana - I did from the Pilot, and I was really disappointed that she never showed up in the show again (at least until Out of the Box). I like her because she's strong, can assert herself with the big boys, not afraid to admit when she's wrong, she doesn't whine when asked to do something that might otherwise offend a woman in a man's world (e.g., play a prostitute).
2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Yes - she's Peter's good right hand and very often makes things happen that wouldn't happen otherwise.
3) Can you relate to this character at all? Does he/she grip you emotionally?
I can relate to her in that she's a professional in a profession that traditionally doesn't treat women well. Her role isn't required to grip me emotionally - not yet, at least.
4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I adore the fandom - it's the greatest thing that's happened to my life in the last few years.
5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by his/her relationship with any other character(s)? (romance-wise or platonic)
I have enjoyed letting Diana step out a bit - with all the lovely women of White Collar. But I am intrigued about her partner and can't wait until she's finally given some flesh.
6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Hmmm - no. Not a thing.
7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how would you see yourself interacting with him/her? Would you get along well? Fall in love with him/her? Dislike? Have a friendly rivalry?
I think she'd terrify me too much.
8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Definitely a show favorite, and quite possibly an all time favorite too.
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about this character (if you dislike) to someone new to fandom?
Posh lesbian with a gun and a fuck you attitude.
10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
Absolutely, even during the time she was not on the show.
Peter/Neal/Alex in a historical A/U
You know what just flashed into my head? Shogun! 16th Century Japan. But what would I do with Alex? Okay, so that doesn't work with this trio.
Let's see…London, between the Wars. Neal is a spy for the Home Office, Peter is his direct superior and Alex may or may not be a double agent. Neal is the youngest son of an Irish earl with vaguely Republican (i.e., Free Ireland) - more because he loves the excitement rather than any particular political leanings. He's wealthy and bored and amuses himself by stealing things and putting them back. Peter catches him and blackmails him into working for him. There is a lot of UST - Peter's married but he's got an eye for Neal, and Neal's always flexible. They even talk about Oscar Wilde and the trial.
Peter sets Neal onto Alex, who has family in Germany - she's a flapper girl with friends in high places. Dunno where I'd take it from there…but this may work out as a longer story. Except that I really know what to write for Alex.

Date: 2011-03-25 08:17 pm (UTC)I hadn't thought about how Diana admits when she's wrong, but that's true, and that's sucha good quality, especially for a badass agressive person.
I LOVE your AU idea. It rocks so hard. I don't even usually like that era in fic, but your take on it is so very very yummy and full of possibilities. If that were a show, i might like it more than original!wc. Peter blackmailing spoiled!boy!Neal? Talking about Wilde? Sexual politics and other politics and intrigue and mystery and yumyumyum
love it
