WC Character Studies: Peter and Elizabeth
Yes, Peter and Elizabeth rather than Peter and Neal. The dynamic between the two main characters is so important for the show that it deserves a post for itself. And I think that we can’t understand Peter without understanding his connection to Elizabeth (and vice versa).

WC Themed Recs: Cons and Consequences
I think I better say it immediately: There won’t be any stories involving spanking on this list. First and foremost because I feel that they tend to be on the kinky side, and since I don’t want to blur the lines between gen and slash here, it’s easier to ban them altogether than trying to make some sort of distinction. The other reason is that I ( Read more... ) -
White Collar Themed Recs: Chafing Anklet
The anklet must by now be the nightmare of every writer… there are so many occasions you need some sort of explanation why Neal can do something without Peter noticing, how he can reach places which are definitely outside his radius and so on. Sometimes even the writers of the show seem to forget its existence. I sometimes wish that it would get ( Read more... ) -
WC Themed Recs: Artist Neal
Seeing how talented Neal is, it’s difficult to understand that he wasn’t able to make money as an artist. Naturally, the art world has its own rules, but nevertheless the idea that Neal is secretly a well-known artist is compelling; the idea that he gets a taste of his own medicine because his work gets stolen, even more.

White Collar: Clichés and offensive stereotypes???

But especially after "What Happens in Burma", there were many posts critical of the ( Read more... ) -
White Collar: Recap of and specualtions about the music box arc
I very well remember the shows of the 80s and early 90s. They were mostly no-brainers designed for some harmless fun. There were basically two kinds of shows: Soap operas and Action/Crime shows. The rule for the shows was that every episode worked as a standalone. That had the advantage that it didn't matter which episode you saw, the general ( Read more... ) -
White Collar: Working Style
I could drone on and on about the characters of White Collar or about memorable episodes, but I think I’ll say more than enough about those topics when I begin to analyze the overall storyline. So, let's take a look at something which is just as important: the overall style of the show. See, for me a good show has to have a compelling story, good ( Read more... ) -
White Collar: My new obsession
Okay, I have decided to use Livejournal for more than storing my adult ffs in the future. After all, this service is designed to give people the opportunity to share their thoughts ... and a topic I would love to tell the whole world about at the moment is "White Collar". Mam711 has graciously agreed to beta-read my posts, which sometimes are small ( Read more... ) -
Annoncement
Okay, I know most people here are mostly interested in my slash works, but this may be something you may like too. I created a White Collar Advent Calendar/guessing game for Christmas. If you want to join the fun, you can do it here:
