April Recommendations - Humor and Crack

Who doesn't like a good joke, practical or otherwise? Fanworks with featuring humor and fun, or are simply cracky, are the focus for April. Please recommend stories and vids and art that make you LOL or ROTFL, or ROTFLMAO, or simply smile.

Remember - you can recommend one of your fanworks for the theme and the fanwork must be at least six months old (i.e., published before October 2015), but the older the fanwork, the better.

You can always recommend as many fanworks from other creators as you want to (but do check to see that they haven't yet been rec'd here on [livejournal.com profile] wcredux), and they must also be at least six month old.

Special Theme Week - The Week of March 21 (Neal’s Birthday): Neal-as-child or Kid!Neal stories

In Ancient History, we learned that Neal's birthday is March 21 (and he's an Aries). For the entire week (March 21 – March 27), [livejournal.com profile] wcredux is asking for recommendations for stories featuring Neal-as-child or Kid!Neal (de-aged) fanworks.

Same rules apply to Special Theme Weeks - one story that you've written, and it must be at least six month old (written before September, 2015).

You can always recommend as many fanworks from other creators as you want to (but do check to see that they haven't yet been rec'd here on [livejournal.com profile] wcredux), and they must also be at least six month old.

March Recommendations – Hurt/Comfort

Since the very beginning of the White Collar Fandom, the theme of Hurt/Comfort has been preeminent. The White Collar Hurt/Comfort Community is one of the most vibrant on LJ and your mods know how much fanworks creators love this theme. That's why we're opening up the throttle and letting everyone's inner hurt-comforteers run free.

Instead of one fanwork this month, creators can make multiple recs of their own creations here on [livejournal.com profile] wcredux. But (and isn't there always a "but") each recommendation has to feature a different whumpee. For example, one self-rec can have Neal as the whumpee, another rec, Peter, and a third might be Elizabeth, and so on.

You can always recommend as many fanworks from other creators as you want to (but do check to see that they haven't yet been rec'd here on [livejournal.com profile] wcredux), and they must also be at least six month old.

The age rules for the fanwork are still in effect – the work must be at least six months old (i.e., published before September 2015), and of course, the older the fanwork, the better.

February Recommendations – Romance and Schmoop

Some of us hate St. Valentine's Day and the manufactured romance, but you have to admit that it makes for a potent theme in the bleakness of mid-winter. [livejournal.com profile] wcredux wants your romantic and your schmoopy fanwork recommendations. And if you find that you are opposed, in principal, to the very idea of Valentine's Day, then give us a recommendation for a trainwreck of a relationship.

Remember - you can recommend one of your fanworks for the theme and the fanwork must be at least six months old (i.e., published before August 2015), but the older the fanwork, the better.

January Theme - First Times

It's a New Year, and what better time to bring out the old fanworks! Because it's a new year, it's also a time for fresh starts and new beginnings and very first times. That can mean anything - a first date, a first kiss, a first night in prison! [livejournal.com profile] wcredux wants you to share your best White Collar first times for the entire month of January.

Remember - you can recommend one of your fanworks for the theme and the fanwork must be at least six months old (i.e., published before July 2015), but the older the fanwork, the better.

December Theme - Holiday Stories

The holidays are in the air! And if you don’t celebrate - winter is coming (of course, that’s winter in White Collar land, otherwise known as New York City), and [livejournal.com profile] wcredux wants you to recommend your fanworks that center around holidays and wintertime.

Except for Season One, which filmed during the cold, cold months, White Collar is a show that celebrates the endless sunshine and perpetual blue skies of summertime in New York. But even though we didn’t get much of a chance to celebrate the cold and bleakness of winter with our beloved characters in canon, there are many fanworks that did just that.

Remember - you can recommend one of your fanworks for the theme and the fanwork must be at least six months old (i.e., published before June 2015), but the older the fanwork, the better.

November Recommendations - Family and Domesticity

In celebration of Thanksgiving here in the United States, [livejournal.com profile] wcredux wants you to recommend your fanworks that center around family and domesticity. One of the things that is so integral to White Collar is that families take many forms, and the strongest families are not formed by blood or by traditional vows.

OCTOBER RECOMMENDATIONS - SPOOKY FICS

This marks the first anniversary for [livejournal.com profile] wcredux. For this month (because your mods are swamped at work), we're going to start the calendar again, but if you have any suggestions for new themes or new ways of doing this, please let us know. A comment here or a PM will be perfect.

That being said, it's time for you to bring out your spooky fics! Stories don't necessarily need to be about Halloween, but there should be some element of creepiness or surprise or fear. This is also the month to self-rec your death and dying fics, too.
