(My apologies for not posting this on the first like we said that it would be posted; school got the better of me.)

And we're back! It is the first of April and this is no joke - we're opening the sign ups for authors who want to write 10,000 words of a fanfiction centered around the greatness that is White Collar. A few points of business before getting to the sign ups.

Here is the schedule:
Author Sign Ups Begin: April 1st - Today!
Artist Sign Ups Begin: May 1st
Author Drop Out Date: July 10th
Author Sign Ups End: July 15th
Fic Rough Draft Due Date: July 15th
Artists Pick Fic: July 16th
Artists Sign Ups End: August 15th
Final Fic/Art Due: September 1st
Posting Starts: September 7th


Rules for Authors:
1. Fics must be at least 10,000 words or longer of gen, het, or slash fanfiction. At this time, we are not considering RPF or RPS. If you feel we should, please contact us at whitecollar.bb.mods@gmail.com
2. The story must be centered around White Collar characters but don't feel like you have to use all of them. So this means Peter, Neal, Elizabeth, Mozzie, Kate, June, Agent Jones, Agent Cruz, Special Agent in Charge Reese Hughes (Peter's boss), Fowler, and Alex or anybody else who is central to the White Collar cast. Have fun with these characters. Crossovers are allowed but please make sure it centers around White Collar. For example per the season finale of season 1, you could crossover White Collar and In Plain Sight (show about Witness Protection on USA), but the focus should be on Neal.
3. There will be check in posts. Please try to remember to post to them, but if you miss them, don't sweat it. We're just check in to see what everyone needs within reason. I am not getting everyone their own Neal. You're on your own for that. -- These may or may not happen, depending on if we remember to post them. :)
4. Your Rough Draft is due on July 15th. This is when we are closing sign ups. There will be an official author drop out post on July 10th. If you need to drop out at any time, email us at whitecollar.bb.mods@gmail.com or leave a comment somewhere.
5. Fics as part of a series are allowed as long as they are stand alone fics. That means they can stand on their own merit and the reader doesn't have to read a previous fic in order to understand what you're writing.
6. You are not allowed to post your fic publicly either in whole or part before your posting date. Posting starts on the 7th of September - please wait until then.

We do ask that you join our sister vent community, wcbbvent to talk about the challenge, get help, vent or whatever else that you need.

If there are any other questions, please look to the Frequently Asked Questions. If your question is still not answered, please drop us a line either at the FAQ post or feel free to PM/email us.

Ready - Set - GO!

So, first - apologies to everyone. At the end of round 2, real life decided to attempt to kill your mods. We disappeared and I apologize for that. As time went on, I would remember to do this and then get embarrassed that the master list was coming up so late. I'm still a bit embarrassed by it, mostly because I feel bad that I haven't done this until now, but I wanted to get it up before we start round 3 on April 1st.

Personal baggage aside - Here Is the Master List! It is organized by posting date. The first person who posted is first and so on. Cheers!

( Master List of Round 2 )

 
Title: Composition in Black and White (Part Two)
Characters/Pairings: Neal, Mozzie, June, Peter/El, Diana, Jones, Ruiz, Hughes
Rating: R
Warnings: Swearing, off screen violence, angst, drama, amnesia, artistic license, bending of realistic time frames.
Disclaimer: Anything recognizable belongs to Jeff Eastin.
Word Count: 46,000~ (part 2)  (65K as a whole)
Spoilers: Canon compliant up until 3x08 – As You Were. I tried to keep up, but then they overtook me. Sadness. Everything else can be forgotten, please. As hard as that may be. Set in the future, some 4 months shy of the end of Neal’s parole.
Summary: A painting is stolen from a private gallery down town, but that’s not all going on in New York White Collar. Peter is being toyed with, Neal is leverage, Jones is caught in the crossfire; and that’s just the beginning. Some things are connected, some are not; but before Diana can figure it all out, it all takes a turn for the worse and Mozzie might wind up being the only one who can save the day.
AN: Anything recognizable belongs to Jeff Eastin. Hopefully this wraps up all those damn plot lines I opened in part one. J I’ve been trying to get it all together, so I do hope you like it.
My apologies for the late posting, my internet has been a right **** the last few days. >:I
Thanks again to aruna7 for the wonderful Art. :)

(I've been fighting with LJ for the past few hours - I'm not sure who won ;P)

Title: The Starry Night
Author: germanjjgermanjj
Artist: aello_limeaello_lime
Pairing: Peter/Neal
Rating: NC-17, just to be sure
Word Count: ~ 14k
Spoilers: set after 3.08, also: this is sort of a case!fic, but I'm not clever enough to think up some cool twists and turns and perfect plans to rob someone, so it's only the base for the story, but not focused too much on it
Warnings: adultery
Disclaimer: I do not own White Collar or its characters

Author's Note #1: THANK YOU, whitecollar_bb mods and everyone for being so patient with me and letting me move my posting date! RL is still pretty hectic, but I finally got to finish this piece *hands*
Author's Note #2: This fic is still in need of a beta. I ran it through spell checks and everything, but I'm German and English is not my first language, so I'm sure there's still something wrong. I haven't found any beta yet (this is my first story outside my Supernatural fandom) but I will keep working on this fic until it's perfect.
Author's Note #3: Now I finally understand why everyone is bitching about LJ and why everyone said how impossibly long it takes to post anything...

Author's Note #4: Now, I hope you'll like my first ever story in the White Collar fandom and I keep my fingers crossed that I hit the right tone, the right character voices, and that I didn't screw up too badly. :D *is ridiculously nervous*

Summary: The famouns Van Gogh painting got stolen from the Museum Of Modern Art. But Neal's interest in the heist seems to be more than just curiosity, might even change all their lifes in the end.

Crossover Fandom (if using): Based loosely off the Disney Movie: The Shaggy D.A.

Characters: Neal, Satchmo, Peter & Elizabeth w/ others as needed.

Pairings: Peter/Elizabeth, Neal, Satchmo

Rating: 16+ (Possible Season 1, 2, 3 Spoilers)

Word Count: 24K

Summary:Neal is dog sitting for the Burkes when an accident changes him. Lots of Whump for all. Mild cursing. Insinuation of possible assault, Supernatural themes.

Disclaimer: I do not own anything related to White Collar but I do like adding them to fan fics.

THANKS to Faradheia for her wonderful artwork. I am more than words can express HAPPY with all of it. KUDOS!!

Title: The Scorpion's Ghost
Author: mrwubbles aka Yum@

Author's Note: Dear brate7, the fact you haven't zatted me yet for betaing a fic that went from 21K to 38K is a mighty feat. You made incoherency into a fic! Thank you for ninjaing through tenses, plot holes, repetitive words with your red pen!

To pikasfire, thank you for your hard work in further fleshing out this fic with your vision.

And to the mods of whitecollar_bb, much gratitude for your patience through my Internet woes, my draft woes and for this wonderful community.

Summary: Sentinel x-over/fusion/fanon/canon mesh up.

Mozzie scanned another page of the book, glancing up at Neal with sparkling eyes. “This is amazing! Do you realize the things we can do with this kind of power? We can be super criminals !” Moz was practically floating on bubbles of excitement.

Author's Note: - I do not own White Collar or The Sentinel or their characters. So many people to thank, so little space. Takes a deep breath. dameange for tempting me in the first place. imshady2 who, when I said 'make me stop wanting to do this or give me an idea I can write 10k words on in 5 days said Sentinel fusion' and is my first reader and biggest cheerleader always. denyce for being an awesome beta, taking the time she didn't really have to do this and being amazing enough to find me a 2nd beta on top of that. rivestra for volunteering, also when she didn't have much time, and being lovely and wonderful to work with and finally faradheiafor going above and beyond and providing such gorgeous artwork to go with this.Thank you guys so much!
