Thank you for your contributions to wcredux's Special Theme Week celebrating Neal's arrest and his time in prison. The theme is now closed. The round-up post for recommendations and the update to the community master list will be issued next week.

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 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 2014), but the older the fanwork, the better.

Thank you for your contributions to wcredux's first Special Theme Week. The theme is now closed. The round-up post for recommendations and the update to the community master list will be issued next week.

In Taking Account, we learned that Sara was born on November 11. For the entire week (November 11 - November 17), wcredux is asking for recommendations for stories featuring Sara Ellis.

Same rules apply to Special Theme Weeks - one story that you've written, and it must be at least six month old (written before May, 2014).

Sometimes, the old stories are the best…

Someone once said that the average fanwork has a shelf-life of twenty-four hours – a pretty damning, but a very much true statement. We work on our stories and art pieces for weeks, sometimes months, and once we post them, the clock runs very quickly. Some of us have a few tricks to extend the life of a story: we’ll post to our journals first, and then to the relevant communities and maybe a week or so later, to AO3.

But once that’s done, the fic (and by fic, we mean any fanwork) really lives in the memories of you, the creator, and if you’re lucky, on someone’s list of bookmarks. Sometimes, someone does a meme and you talk about a fic that had meaning for you and you might get a flurry of fresh eyes on it, but those memes are few and far between.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably wished there was a way to bring your stories back into the light of day. While there is an active fic search community, writers are sometimes hesitant to self-rec. There’s also a rec’ing community for White Collar fic, but that one explicitly prohibits self-recommendations.

wcredux has been created by fanworks creators for creators of fanworks of all sorts to joyfully and unabashedly recommend their own creations. Of course, you can recommend works by other creators, but we really want you to recommend what you think is the best of your own works.
