Very beautiful and touching

Dear Redhead:

Well, I just happened to be wandering along,
And my mind was humming an old talking-blues song,
A spooky concoction by the great Red Sovine,
About a ghostly semi called "Phantom 309".
It made me think of the Phantom FF category
And all of its more than 8,0 stories,
And I decided to see, when I next got online,
Just which of those stories was numbered "309".
So, 'round eight the next evening, I turned on my machine,
And I found your story right there on page 13.
I clicked on the link, not expecting very much,
And, to my own surprise, I found myself touched.
The story was deeper and more thoughtful than most
That deal with Christine and the poor Opera Ghost.
And then, when I looked at the neighboring fics
And reflected on the sort of thing I might have picked
Had I been a little earlier, or a trifle too late,
Then I gave thanks to God for making me wait
To get on the computer till just the right time
To read, review, and remember *your* "Phantom 309".
Thank you.

Sincerely,
Qoheleth

Very well written and thought out. "He has never been taught to regard life as precious, because he has never valued his own." This explains his propensity for murder quite well.

I know this is a one-shot, but I think it deserves another chapter..or two..or more.

A lovely piece, well written and very heart-felt. And, despite Christine's refrain that she does not love him, she understands that Erik really did love her, enough to rise above the madness, enough to condemn himself to eternal loneliness... he loved her enough to let her go. And that is what redeems him.
A very nice one-shot
Warm regards
K.S.

I'm sure this is well written, because I know you're a good writer.

...I'm just a theater elitist and refuse to read this on principle, because it's Webber. Specifically, Phantom. BO!

Thanks for writing a *real* Christine, instead of one of those "omg-I-luv-that-psychotic-musical-dude!1" Christines. Erik is wrong. He's messed up. Yes, it's sad, but the fact is, he's messed up. And Christine needs better.
