Not dead. Just writing.

1. Learning about art forgery is fascinating. Not only does it mean that one spends hours falling down the rabbit hole of Wikipedia,one also gets to read up on the FBI's Art Theft division1 and Interpol and the FATF.2 (Technically the FATF has nothing to do with art theft. But it has something to do with my current project, so there.)

2. And ( Read more... )

white collar fic, research!, writing, polls

Oh, how I love 1) your posts, and 2) that you're writing the story! YAY! Can't wait to see it because I know it will be worth so much more than I donated!

This whole post is delicious.

and also makes me wish for stories from you where Eames and Neal get to show off a/o compete a/o pull a huge art forgery prank together. *g*

Hell to the yes, that would be fantastic. Something in the same vein as copperbadge's Sherlock/White Collar fusion (Paper Chase and Rematch), where Sherlock and Neal play tag in New York and London in order to see who is the most awesome. (Outcome: both. Both are the most awesome.) Only, maybe Eames and Neal are competing to see who can get the most fake paintings/docs/statues/etc. into a given museum or ( ... )

*beams and beams and beams*

(can I ask you if the Arthur/Ariadne story in progress has been abandoned or not? I am very patient and do not want to nag, but also figured you might have changed your mind about it, in which case I'd prefer to know...)

You can certainly ask! And no, it hasn't been abandoned, I swear. Actually-- hmm.

Okay.

Here's the deal: I got crazy busy with teaching and such, and the last bit of Words and stones is still (minorly) under construction. But. I'd decided a while back that WAS was going to be four parts, rather than the three I initially thought it would be. And the third part is done. Like, I could post it tonight if I wanted-- it's coded and edited and ready to go. But I had kind of thought that I'd hold off and post three and four together, and have the whole thing done, you know? But that was when I thought I'd be able to knock out the fourth part in a week or two, and that-- that was months ago.

Since school's out now, I do anticipate finishing WAS fairly soon, but probably not before the end of the month. So. What do you think-- should I go ahead and post the third part? Or should I wait, and post the last two parts at the same time?

I voted "other" for romance & capers, because the answer is I want both! Woven together! But not because capers are bloodless without romance; just because I'm a dork who wants to have my cake and eat it too. Capers without romance are also awesome.
