Sharing an OC: For the Birds

When Silbrith told me that one of her favorite of my OCs (Original Characters) is Agent Tricia Wiese, I was surprised. Tricia started out mostly as a placeholder; I felt the White Collar team needed a female agent so it wouldn’t be an all-male team until canon character Diana joined them. I fully expected Tricia to fade away once Diana arrived.

Second Chances

Penna and I are firm believers in second chances.

In the first story of the series, Caffrey Conversation, Peter gives the Neal the opportunity to turn his life around when he offers him a job with the FBI. In subsequent stories, Penna allows Neal to experience the love of a family after an isolated and difficult childhood. Neal dropped out of high school before graduating, but in our AU, he succeeded in being admitted to the graduate program at Columbia University.

I Love Loopy Neal

Neal Caffrey can be an intimidating character. He’s so handsome, so skilled at so many things… I fear if I met him, he’d be unimpressed and quickly bored.

Loopy Neal, on the other hand, I might be able to keep up with. That singing, earnest version of Neal introduced in the episode “Vital Signs” was a gift for fans, and for fanfic writers.

Backstage at Arkham Files

When Diana decided to write fanfiction to help expose Azathoth, a maniacal cybercriminal with a penchant for the world created by H.P. Lovecraft, she didn't know what she was in for.

Mozzie and Peter: Finding Common Ground

Silbrith's recent post about Mozzie inspired me to think about the interactions between that "imp" nicknamed Dante and FBI agent Peter Burke.
