When I post a story, what do you expect to find?

A lot of soul searching character driven story.

A very thoughtful take on the sadnesses people do to each other. I always like it.

Sadness without overt darkness.

I find a quality of otherworldliness - which is delightful and unexpected in White Collar fic.

I read the first version of this comment going, "Wow, I always thought Blurring, Only Truly Dead, and some of my comment fills were pretty dark..." Not to mention "Glass Faces", which, well, supernatural horror is not usually my cup of tea... Basically, I'm finding out that I'm the angst girl.

In other words, White Collar brings out the lunatic AUs in me? In HP and A:tLA fandom, I'm all about the divergent timeline AUs, with White Collar, it's more like "What if there were aliens?"

Thanks! I'm big on character driven fantasy, and I'm trying to go there with my novel.

*blush* I'm translating most of the comments here into "Aaaaaaaangst, dear woman."

Aye, that's why I changed it. Your stories do have darkness and angst, but you don't wallow in it. I'd say that's because you focus more on the consequences than the darkness itself.

*blush* If I let my id rule the day, there would be nothing but wallowing. I have to stop myself.

But good angst! And you do understand that there is happiness in life too, and that shows.

Oh, well, that's good!
