Christine Persephone:
22-year-old tragedienne of Heavens, werewolf, writer, Ellaran, gothic literature victim, Phantom Phan, cat lover, Prismacolor pencil addict, Brightmaniac, soprano, and fan artist labouring under the tragic misconception that BloodRayne is adorable.

Q&A:

Where did you go???
Christine Persephone has ditched y'all for a fangy redhead. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
(Actually that's not entirely true. I've just kind of fallen out of the fanfic swing for awhile and I've been concentrating more on artistic projects rather than literary ones. I'm trying to get back into it but if you want to find me, the best place to look is DeviantART. I will not, however, deny the involvement of a fangy redhead.)

Where did ______ go?
I pulled a bunch of stories recently that I thought were embarrassingly old and not really good anymore, or else were in flagrant opposition to certain ffn rules by sheer virtue of having been there since even before the rules were in place. (Script fic whut?) While I doubt the Incredibly Random Lord of the Rings Crossover is ever coming back, I might revise Waiting for Twilight and archive it somewhere.

Which version of Phantom are you following?

My canon is my own, sort of a blend of versions, mainly Leroux and the ALW musical, with little bits of Kay and the Y/K musical, and the occasional detail from the new movie. I don't stick to any particular version in its entirety because they all have their high and low points.

My characterisation doesn't vary unless specified, and my Christine will always be a blue-eyed, curly-haired brunette whose father, Joseph Daaé, was Swedish and whose mother, Catherine Daaé, was French, who was born in Sweden on the 18th of October, 1861, who still cherishes her rag doll, Lotte, and who has a white cat of the same name.

What's an Emming?
The highly variable definition, as taken from the lj community _operasinging_, is at the moment:
Em.ming: 1. A species of rodent similar to the Norway Lemming (Lemmus lemmus) with a penchant for iPods, cellphones, and other hallmarks of trendiness. (Scientific name: Lemmus emmus 2. A movieverse-Christine-based Sue. (i.e.: a Sue based on Christine based on Emmy Rossum.) 3. A Christine-Sue that has become such through repeated acts of movieverse-inspired OOC. 4. Movieverse Christine represented in the form of the aforementioned rodent. 5. A word that is fun to shout. 6. Some strange combination of the above, or none of these at all. Emming, The: 7. Movieverse Christine. 8. Emmy Rossum.

Why is the sky blue?
Why, because the sky at day is made of blue silk and at night of velvet, and held up with jewelled hairpins. (The Opera Wars.)

Story Info:

Serious Works (or the Reflections line, as they all run along that timestream.):

Reflections:
Status: On hold until Shadow-play is finished.
My masterpiece, the product of nearly five years of work. If you want to read anything of mine, read this.

Shadow-play:
Status: In progress, I swear
Contains: Darkfluff
A look into the realm of the Lord and Lady of the Underworld in the two weeks following the fall of the chandelier, and how the things that happened then shaped the events of the rest of the story. Isolated in a shadowy limbo, and both guilty of deception, they find themselves unable to accuse each other without condemning themselves. What, then, do they trust?

Angel:
Status: completed, but kind of old
Contains: Reflections spoilers in Christine's first-person POV.
Encompasses and encompassed by Reflections. Fairy-tale like story in which Christine, after a year in Sweden, suddenly finds herself alone and with no other option but to return, once again, to the arms of her Angel. But the road back, she finds, is far longer and harder than the one away. This is her journey.

Darkphic: (Dark one-shots)

Oubliette:
Status: One-shot, complete. An entry for the PFN Darkphic Contest, in which once again Christine's insatiable curiosity gets the better of her, but the consequences this time are not so light.

Doe Eyes:
Status: One-shot, complete. An entry for the PFN Humour Contest, though it was originally intended to be a Morbidity entry. Movieverse. Rating for random acts of carnage.
Contains: Senseless violence and movieverselings with guns.

His Living Bride:
Status: One-shot, complete. An entry for the PFN Second Darkphic Contest. Christine's promise has bound her to Erik forever and a day, no matter what.

The Mirror Room:
Status: One-shot, complete. An entry for the PFN Second Darkphic Contest, in which Christine once again goes opening doors she shouldn't.
Contains: Monsters and Andromeda.

Swansong:
Status: One-shot, complete. An entry for the PFN Third Darkphic Contest. Leroux-verse. Warped.
Contains: A Scottish folk ballad, ghost swans, and a harp made out of Christine's bones.

She Often Spoke of You, My Friend:
Status: One-shot, complete. An entry for the PFN Third Darkphic Contest. She can't escape from him, she never will. He will always be there singing songs in her head. Movieverse.
Contains: A demon music box, sharp pointy teeth, and one seriously crazed Emmy Christine.
Original version available here: http://www.angelfire.com/scary/darkphiccontest/3/sheoftenspoke.html

Hybrids (works in that oddly half-serious, half-light, almost-satire style):

The Wax Figure's Story:
Status: On Hold
Contains: Erik, Christine, five different kinds of Mary Sue, waffles, a dust-bunny named Horatio,missing socks, Emmy Rossum's wardrobe, ruined flan, Emmings, Mobster Lobsters, and a girl made of wax, all in the same house.
As the title says, the life story of the mirror-bride Erik made. Initially only aware that she was created out of love, she does not quite realise that that love was not exactly directed at her. Hurt and embittered, she begins to turn herself against everyone in the world who isn't made of wax, which happens to be just about everybody, and Christine in particular.

The Opera Wars:
Status: On Hold
Contains: Insanity, revolutionaries, four Christines, and the Brightmoores
1885 - Meg Giry, Empress! A ballerina takes over the world, resulting in a golden age of peace and prosperity.
2003 - a psychotic dictator topples the benevolent rule of the Giry/Daae/Chagny/Erik descendants, with the help of a sultry assassin named Luciana
3001 - The few remaining descendants of the Old Operatic Order unite to overthrow the evil government and restore opera to a silent world, but the matter is complicated by the descendants of Luciana. Meanwhile, a mad scientists summons Christine and Erik out of 1881 to further his own ends, and the Brightmoores Portal-skip in. Chaos abounds. (Probably the most fun you'll ever have in anything I've ever written.)
