Welcome to another round of Discussion Friday (which might be going into Saturday)!!

With Season 5 coming closer, what are your hopes, fears, and predictions for our favorite awesome ladies in S5? What kind of awesome lady do we think Neal's new love interest is going to be? Do you think you'll still like the show in general?

I personally am freaking out over this. As we discussed before, WC already is not women-centric at all despite having some very strong characters. Will any of you miss Sara this season? After all, she seems like a strong woman and in an AU world, she seemed like an excellent partner for Neal.

In all, I miss the old WC from the earlier seasons, and I want to see more of the fantastic women like June, who might not get that much screentime.

So, that's my two cents on this topic. What do you think?

So, it's June already! We're halfway through the year and the year-round 12-in-12 challenge

Just a reminder: It is perfectly fine for works to do "double duty," provided it doesn't violate the rules of any other comms. So, feel free to post works from [livejournal.com profile] wcpairings
or [community profile] month_of_june or anything else here.  Please just tag any works you post here with '12 in 12' and you'll be added to the unofficial participant list!  All works are acceptable, including icons, headers, drabble compilations, and such.

So far, the following people have posted:
[livejournal.com profile] leesa_perrie

[livejournal.com profile] florastuart
[livejournal.com profile] sahiya
[livejournal.com profile] slytheringurrl
[livejournal.com profile] veleda_k
We look forward to seeing all of you!
 
 
Last week, many people shared their opinion on their favorite White Collar lady.  We had a great turnout, and we hope that this week's question will also get your creative minds turning!


For a show with so many awesome women, White Collar sure doesn't pass the Bechdel Test very often. Which of our awesome ladies do you wish would share screentime more often - and what do you think they'd talk about?
 
Remember:
1. Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2. Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and/or warnings
3. For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.

Thanks for participating!!

To start something new here at the comm, we're opening up the floor to some discussions! (This concept is borrowed from [livejournal.com profile] be_compromised )

So, we all love all the ladies dearly. They all have their great points. But, who is your favorite White Collar lady and why? Are there any special things that you just love about them?

Feel free share your opinion, share some stories/art or anything else you can think about.

Things To Remember:

1) Always label NSFW (Not Safe For Work) stuff in the title and post under a cut.
2) Fic and artwork needs to have a rating and/or warnings
3) For people with annoying internet connections, say in the title if a comment is graphic/images/gif-heavy and post picspams under a cut.

Have fun! Also, let us know if you have any idea for future discussions. We will try to host one every Friday and they will be open infinitely.

Hey everyone,

So with [livejournal.com profile] wcpairings coming up and so many people participating (which is great!), I think we're going to wait on running our next fest. But we would like to do something this summer to pass the time during our extra-long hiatus, and we'd love to hear what you'd like that something to be! If you could take a minute to fill out the poll and maybe drop us a comment, that would be awesome.

[Poll #1908651]

Thanks!

Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] veleda_k, who submitted a ficlet for our 500-word challenge! Check out Ring in the New, if you haven't already - and remember to please, by all means, feed your authors with feedback.

Now that the January challenge is over, [livejournal.com profile] slytheringurrl and I are considering what the comm might want to do next. What would you all like to see this spring? A promptfest? Bingo cards? Something else entirely? The comments to this entry are a great place to let us know what you'd like to see from us in the future.

In other comm news, we now have an an associated Tumblr, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] slytheringurrl, and we are also mirroring on Dreamwidth! Sadly, it's not possible to crosspost from DW to LJ on a community, but we encourage you to post wherever you prefer (or in both places even).

And don't forget - our 12-in-12 challenge is always open!

First of all, the notion of opening up the comm for all fic and art centered on our awesome ladies seems to be very popular. So from now on, please feel free to post anything you create that is related to one of our awesome ladies: fic, art, icons, vids, podfic, meta, what have you! We are happy to take gen, het, femslash, and OT3, as long as it's centered on the woman involved (though not necessarily her POV). For now, posting is moderated, but we might change that at some point in the near future. I promise to be as quick as I can about approving posts.

In this vein, we are very pleased to announce the 12-in-12 Challenge! This is very simple: Just sign up here to make 12 posts to the Awesome Ladies of White Collar community in 2013. These posts can link to any kind of art, they just need to focus on the women of White Collar! (Many thanks to [livejournal.com profile] leesa_perrie for the idea.)

A few rules:
1. Fics and podfics can be any length, from drabble to epic. We encourage the use of our AO3 collection for linking longer fics.
2. No character bashing of any kind will be allowed.
3. Warn appropriately for things like violence, sexual violence, mental illness, and character death.
4. It is perfectly fine for works to do "double duty," provided it doesn't violate the rules of any other comms. So if you have a Kate-centric Big Bang and want to post it here (after it goes live at WCBB) as one of your 12 works, then please feel free to do so! You may also use things you write for our events this year as one of your 12 works.
5. Fanart is welcome and encouraged. Please post to your own LJ or website and then link. Please warn appropriately.
6. Meta is also highly encouraged! I know there was some great meta about the WC women that came out of a meta fest recently. I, for one, would love to see more of it.

Please note that this does not mean you have to make a post every month. That's great if you want to do it that way, but you're welcome to do your twelve posts in any way that works for you! We realize, however, that we're getting this started a couple weeks late, so one work can be retroactive. Did you post something in the first half of January (oh, say, for [livejournal.com profile] fandom_stocking) that would work for this challenge? Then by all means, post it here as your first work!

And finally, please spread the word that [livejournal.com profile] wc_women_fest is up and running again. We'd love to see more people participating!

Well, one in particular.

It occurred to [livejournal.com profile] slytheringurrl and me that there really isn't any community (that we know of, at least) where people can post their WC women-centric stories. Sara has her own comm, but I don't think any of our other awesome ladies do (correct me if I'm wrong on this). So we were thinking that this comm might be a great place for that! To be clear, we'd continue to run promptfests and challenges a few times a year, but in between, people could post or link any fic centered on a female WC character on the comm as well.

What do y'all think about this?

Thanks to everyone for bearing with us the last few days while we weathered some changes and got our feet under us a bit. I'll be co-modding with [livejournal.com profile] slytheringurrl for the foreseeable future.

For now, we're going to start with the "Times Square" 500-word drabble challenge, with a posting window between January 17th and January 25th. We'll put up a Master Post on the 17th and you can either post your ficlets directly in the comments or else link from the AO3 collection.

We'll likely have a promptfest in the spring, but beyond that we're open for suggestions! Monthly promptfests can be a bit overwhelming for both mods and comm members, so we might do "events" a few times a year. We're talking over a few other changes as well that might help the comm serve a broader purpose within the White Collar fandom, but rest assured, we'll ask for community input before we go ahead with anything.

Thanks again, everyone. I'm really excited to get the comm up and running again!

Over the past few days, we have been debating here about rules and the way the mods ([livejournal.com profile] slytheringurrl and [livejournal.com profile] sahiya) should run this community!

So, I ask. How do YOU want to see this community run? More short challenges?!? Promptfests?!? What rule additions and changes are you willing to accept and improve?!?

I can't run this alone and talk to a blank wall. I need YOUR imput so this can be a pleasing community for all!

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] sholio and [livejournal.com profile] sahiya for suggesting this idea and giving me so much advice!
