Date: 2014-08-24 05:00 pm (UTC)2. Is there a trope you’ve yet to try your hand at, but really want to?
This year to expand my writing skills and force myself to work outside of my comfort zone I actually have a Trope Bingo Card. I even wrote a couple of stories for tropes I never considered trying to write previously. I would still like to try Transformation. I have an idea to change Elizabeth into a cat – of course it would be Neal’s fault and Peter is allergic to cats. Don’t know if I’ll ever write it, but I think it would be challenging and would be slightly cracky.
15. If you could choose one of your fics to be filmed, which would you choose?
The story I would choose is one sitting in my WIP’s – I’ve been working on for about a year. It is about the Burke Seven coming together again to save one of their own. This is the closest story I’ve tried to write to White Collar itself. It is a case story and my current issue is the ‘heist’ – I am just not happy with how it is coming together and since the con sting is always a main part of the story on White Collar I want it just right.
19. Stephen King once said that his muse is a man who lives in the basement. Do you have a muse?
Don’t know if I would call it a muse, but it seems that if I have an episode of White Collar on, suddenly ideas start coming into my head. Or sometimes I hear or see something and think, oh that would make an interesting idea.
