A few random life notes...

It's been an interesting few weeks - just wanted to catch you up on my life.

I really didn't intend to ramble...but as this LJ was once titled "Verbosity - Sometimes I Say Too Much, Sometimes I Don't Say Enough" ... a teal deer is inevitable.

My life...in a nutshell.

Thirty Days of Fanfic - Day Three

3 – For each of the fandoms from day two, what were your favorite characters to write?

Since I’ve said that I only really write in White Collar, I’m going to limit my answers to that fandom.

Hands down, I really love writing Peter/Neal – as a pairing. A close follow up is Peter/Elizabeth/Neal. There is something so very satisfying about them, together. It’s not just the porn. I love weaving in their canonical characteristics into the slash relationship – and it helps that the show runner really loves to slash his own creations. Come to think of it, one of the stars does too (I know of at least three times that TDK has made explicit reference to a slash relationship between Peter and Neal).

But, and this is an interesting “but” – the character I love writing the most is Mozzie. I love his voice – and I find it so easy to write. Maybe it’s the little bit of anti-establishmentarian in me that resonates with Mozzie. I keep hoping that he’ll come to his senses about the origin of the treasure. Millions of people (most of them civilians) died in the siege of Leningrad.

I don’t think there is a character I haven’t written at least once. Lauren Cruz was central in my still-unfinished Vampire World series, but she’s not made it into my more mainstream works, mostly because I’ve written based on canon after the end of S1, and she’d left the show.

I’ve written Satchmo, Bugsy, Blake (the probie), Bancroft, Hughes, June, Alex, Sara, Fowler, Kate. I’ll probably give Cindy and Agent Matthews a shot in the coming weeks (maybe during Promptfest). With the exception of Keller and Adler, who were the more interesting of the S2 villains (ok – Keller showed up originally in S1), I’ve stayed away from the bad guys – mostly because I don’t enjoy writing Neal-whump.

If I was, hypothetically, to write outside of White Collar, I’d probably write either Sam/Josh from The West Wing, Crais/John in Farscape, and Exley/White in L.A. Confidential. But don’t hold me to that. I’ve got more White Collar WIPs that I really want to think about.
