You all need to keep in mind that I have SERIOUS medical issues. I may be on the computer every day, but sometimes I am too sick to do work, or am unexpectedly put in the hospital for long periods of time. Please try to be understanding. I update as much as I possibly, POSSIBLY can.

Phantom of the Opera is my life, and I take it more seriously than you could possibly imagine. Everything else is just side things. It is my passion, my hobby, and my career.

My name is Rose, I am a classical singer who sings anything from legit Broadway to arias to Irish folk songs. I live in a big city, which I love, and I have a horrible fear of elevators. I will sometimes get great ideas for stories that I will just throw out there, and you just have to bear with me until I find a writing style-- my styles change quite often. I hope to someday travel to Paris and live in London. I am most importantly a musician, playing piano and violin, but mostly voice. I travel a lot, but I try to check my emails and such at least once or twice a day. I am usually online late at night. I have a rather unhealthy obsession with red roses. I also have CDO... it's like OCD, but all the letters are in alphabetical order, like they should be.

My favorite opera's are Faust, Hansel and Gretal, The Magic Flute, and Tosca. I've performed in a few operas, and a few ballet's. I was always a singer, but I wanted to be an Olympic medal figure skater. When I got too old, I switched my passion to ballet. I struggled with it, and eventually stopped trying to find a real career and just sang at wherever I could. It was worth it.

I am a sucker for Erik and Christine. In my stories, they will always be together, save for some twists. This does not mean they will always be happy. I HATE fluff. My Erik's are generally dark. With the exception of After All, in which I attempted to exploe my own fluffy side.

Feel free to email me. I love talking to people who share similar interests!

To me, Edward and Bella are like an innocent Erik and Christine. And put Erik and Christine in Anakin and Padme's place. Kind of works, doesn't it? (I feel a crossover coming...) Speaking of that, I have a few crossovers in my head that I'd like to put out there. Would any of you be interested in those?

Who are my favorite singers? NOT TELLING!! My account on iTunes is called Phantomrose, so if you want to see what type of music I like, look at my reviews. You can find me under anything by Michael Crawford or Sarah Brightman. Whoops.

I AM A PASSIONATE MICHAEL CRAWFORD AND SARAH BRIGHTMAN FAN. Do not insult them EVER or I will find out.

You can also talk with me at phantomoftheopera.com. My name is also Bwayrose. That site is going haywire lately, but I try to still check in once a day.

If you want me to review your story, email me the word, "pterodactyl" spelled that exact way and I will skip off and review your story as soon as I can. However, keep in mind if I don't like your story, I will review it honestly. If you can't handle that, don't email me.

P.S. If you review, I give you permission to eat as many cookies as you want. Also brownies. And peanut MnM's. And an optional hug from me.

Erik lover and Raoul defender.

In the name of all things good and beautiful, DO NOT put 'I suck at summaries' in your summary. That's childish and immature, as well as a horrible way to get pity. If I see it, I will not read your story, because if you suck at summaries, then who's to say that you don't suck at story writing too? If you have 'i suck at summays, lol' I will NOT read your story. I have seen WAY too much of this. Grow up. If you're posting something on the internet, do not announce to the world that you suck. Tell them you are awesome.

COMPLETE-

After All- Continuation of Kay, although you might be able to struggle through it without having read the book. After Erik dies, Christine leaves the little room to start her life with Raoul. She feels as though she is still missing something, and decides to put her engagement on hold and get a place of her own. Nadir visits her, but it seems he has a secret... for ghosts can't really die, can they...? A little fluffy, hopefully not OOC, however. EC COMPLETE.

Mingled Tears: Tales of A Living Wife- Leroux continuation. Christine becomes Erik's living bride and is thrown into his ridiculous world of music. Trying to hold onto her sanity, she can only think about escaping... until she realizes that the only way to unlock his heart is to unlock hers. Their twisted journey into love and marriage. EC COMPLETE.

Last Reflections- Last scene of the musical, when Christine gives Erik his ring. Their thoughts. Dedicated to Howard McGillin, who played this moment out better than any other actor I've ever seen before. ONESHOT.

Unopened- Creepy, little oneshot from me. Totally not my style! It was just an idea that I had, and I finally wrote it out. Christine's baby is the spitting image of Erik, although she knows it's not possible. Raoul struggles with the implications as his marriage begins to fail. ONESHOT.

INCOMPLETE-

Fleur Du Mal- Christine chooses Erik and he still sends her away... she can't figure out why he would do that. Antoinette Giry has forced Erk to stay at the Fleur Inn where she can keep an eye on him. He's not doing well at all-- especially when he's being bothered by the Italian family that runs the Inn. He begins to realize that this Inn has some very evil roots... the last person he wants to get mixed up in this is his beloved, but when Christine wants answers, she'll get them. EC INCOMPLETE.

NOT POSTED YET

Musically Yours- Christine refuses to perform in Don Juan, and Erik isn't exactly upset with her... He's intrigued. Lots of fun with characters on this one. They both set off to explore each other's minds. Very musicalbased, very EC.

Dark Side of Light- Christine kisses him, faints, and wakes up in a completely new place. But Erik is still the master, and for once, he doesn't want her with him. Dark and selfish Erik, but they have a pretty romantic realtionship from the start. It's truly the dark story of the Phantom and his bride. Also very musicalbased, eventually EC. WILL BE POSTED SOON.

Phantom of Fleet Street- I've had this posted before, but took it off. Erik is sent away to prison on a false charge, and now he's come home looking for his wife and daughter. Exploring the past will cause him to doubt his love, his life, and everything he's still searching for. Very dark and very... er, Sweeney Todd-ish. The same story, only with a Phantom twist.

Phantom: A Sinner's Fragrance - A sequel to Kay's book, starting right when Christine kisses him. A little dark, but very romantic. EC, of course, but a very delusional and depressed Erik and a very child-like Christine. Their only solace is in each other. Probably the meanest Erik I've written.

Attention- A five-shot. Erik and Christine live together under the Opera House, in love and happy, until Erik grows a little jealous of one of Christine's admirers. Innocent Christine has barely noticed him, but Erik blows everything out of proportion, and they must repair their relationship before a simple misunderstanding ruins everything.

Titanic- Raoul takes Christine to America, to get away from all that has happened. Erik think America will be a perfect new place for him to pretend to forget about her... One of my very favorite crossovers ever, as well as the first one that just fit so perfectly to me. Totally going to be depressing to write. Very, very much like the movie, but not exact.

Trail of Roses- A complete secret! And it's my absolute favorite. If you're really interested and I like you, maybe I'll tell you what it's about. Maybe.

Silent, Silent- A very sensual fic staring at the performance of Don Juan Triumphant and what happens after.

The Guardian- My first modern day fic. This deals with Erik Destler, a 'guardian' of one of the hidden royal throne descendants who were surpressed in the early 18th century. After Christine Daae's father's death, she becomes the only living heir to the throne. Of course, SHE doesn't know this... But Erik is assigned to protect her at all costs. He was NOT assigned to fall in love with her. But naturally, he does. EC, of course.

This is fluff Erik. He is young and charismatic, who looks like Apollo on one side of his face and is a total sex god. Everybody loves him, and he is so nice and sweet and proper when Christine runs back from the drunken Raoul... This Erik does not exist.

This is dark Erik. He hates everybody. He wants Christine, but doesn't know how to win love. Don't mess with him, or he'll kill you.

This is true Erik. He's topsy and turvy and you never know which way he's going to turn...
