I tend to go through phases in my reading habits. For several months I'll devour mysteries, and then it will be on to science fiction, or fantasy, or romance, etc. In the summer of 2012 my mother told me she had breast cancer and asked if I would travel to where she lived to be with her for the mastectomy. I wanted something different to read during the travel and the wait in the hospital. There'd been a lot of press about fanfiction recently, and I decided to explore that. White Collar was one of my favorite TV shows, so I selected it as my starting point, and downloaded several stories to read during the trip.
