okay, i must be honest with you. the writing itself is very good. as for the rest-i really have no one but myself to blame, because you warn us that you're morbid, but i don't see how this deserves the title of fluff. it's sweet (in a demented sort of way) but it is just too depressing. way too depressing.

I first question myself, why the heck am I reading your stories, their so dark, and depressing... Then I think again, this IS Phantom of the Opera. You are doing just what Erik would really probably do if he still lived. That's why I am soo attracted to your strange and weird stories. It's not what others want to think of Erik... it IS Erik... wow. I LOVE IT!

*in awe*

I love all of them! They are so Leroux! Long live Leroux!

huh? explain and i shall rejoice.

Please, friend, explain each of the story one by one to me. These are magnificent, but too mysterious I can;t really understand it. Will you be kind and explain what is going on in each chapter?

One thing to say about this fic...

Happy Halloween.

Dudess that is gross. poor Christine. at first i thought she was on the starvation diet but this is worse. Erik is one sick bastard. He's obviously parading those digits around like he wants them to be eaten. He should have served his fingers. or his ears. other parts of his body may require baking or stirring and i'm just not sure he can do that without fingers. I would eat them. what?
I'm just saying. He's so sick.

These are nifty. Creepy but in a way that makes sense considering the story. POTO is dark twisted stuff (and I wouldn't have it any other way). "Breathless" is my favorite so far...

Ah yes, back again. Poor Erik, so unloved. Let the stupid girl starve! Go find a phan girl out there who will apprectate the effort you put into everything! lol I think this one is my favorite, its got more emotion in it that in all the others combined. Not that they were lacking by any means, they just didn't have the same emotional pull that this one does. You can almost feel his pain, except it doesn't really fit with the others because it isn't really dark or twisted, mostly just sad.

Ok was there some sort of challenege issued to you to write a story using the words mortification and taxidermied? Becuase for whatever reason, I would never had expected to find that in a story. It would be like saying "Thou" or "Thine". Sure they are perfectly good words, but who the heck uses them anymore? Kind of lends a dark tint to the story but still odd. So he finally gets to touch her and "that's" how she convinces him to let her go? I'm missing the logic behind that one.

Longer than your others isn't it? I don't think I'll be doing a pysch paper on Erik's mind anytime soon, I'd either flunk it or get published in a scientific journal. This guy is twisted and fiendish but I love how you've played around with a minor idea within the story! Nice work!

Yep, you and V must be long lost family or something. These short and dark things just seem to flow so well too. Poor Erik, wonder how he kicked the bucket? You'd think if he was going to keel over he would have done it before Christine got a spine and a brain. Oh well.

Ok, that was a bit gross. How exactly does a severed head impress a girl anyway? Not to mention the head of a close friend? I mean really if it had been Carlotta's head, now that would have been a worthy gift! Put that in a pickle jar to show the grandkids! lol

Nice twist! Psycho mom in denial about her dead baby, classic and very nicely done! Poor Erik, so when do you think he's going to tell her?

Ah yes, true love. So romantic no? I liked it but... idk the ending was kind of anticlamatic. Guessing that that what was happening it seemed almost redundant to have him say that, maybe a sweet farewell would be better? idk you're the expert. Chapter 3 awaits!
