Author has written 16 stories for Phantom of the Opera, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Sweeney Todd. This used to be a joint profile between me (DarkFlameOfTheMonkey, joined FF.Net early 2007) and a friend called Jamster, but now I'm all on my lonesome. Not much to say, only that writing, singing, and acting make me happy the way a lifetime of ice cream and balloons make little children happy. I love writing of any kind, singing songs of any sort, and putting on strange accents simply for the reason of making people laugh. At school I love Drama and am always seeking to improve, and I am enamoured with Latin. I'm top of my year in Latin, so all the obsessive grammar analysis paid off! I'm an all-rounder when it comes to Phantom of the Opera. Read the Gaston Leroux novel, seen the Lon Chaney film, the cartoon from the sixties (I think), the Charles Dance miniseries, listened to the soundtrack of Yeston and Kopit's musical (music so pretty...!), both productions of the Takarazuka Revue's Yeston-Kopit musical, the 2004 movie, read Susan Kay's Phantom, and went to the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical four times in four phantabulous months. I love them all to varying degrees, but I love the musical the most. I attach a lot of sentiment to it, and it just has this magic! The roles aren't set in stone like in the films, and there is change and development as opposed to a book. You can't recreate a show the way you can sit down and watch a movie again or re-read a book. Anthony Warlow (Roy Weissensteiner + Simon Pryce) x Alexander "Dimple Boy" Lewis to the power of a Silver Sharpie and a Phantom of the Opera program= SQUEEZLE GO THE 2007-08 AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND PRODUCTION!! Stage musicals are my blood. I can't get songs out of my head unless I sing them. So you can imagine how much space Phantom of the Opera, Jekyll and Hyde, Avenue Q, Sweeney Todd, Mamma Mia, Les Miserables, Shrek the Musical, My Fair Lady, the 80s songs my parents like, and every song I've ever heard Anthony Warlow sing take up! I'm a raving mad Anthony Warlow fan. He is the most amazing Phantom who has ever lived and will live. So go and listen to him sing. Now. There was a point to all that typing, but now I'm afraid I have forgotten it. My primary profile is here: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1200745/DarkFlameOfTheMonkey Favourite sayings: "And the Lord said, let the green and yellow tennis balls rain down upon ye for forty days and forty nights, for thou hast served incorrectly and now your team is very upset!" "Cheesecake will devour your soul!" Critique is very much encouraged, since it's so hard to find some truly perfect stories in this fandom and I'm not saying mine are perfect in the slightest. I would very much want some constructive criticism on the writing and I'm always looking to improve. It's hard to write and update when you don't know what to do next with your story except keep it in the same style and ever so bland. Therefore, HIT ME! BOYCOTT ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER'S THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA SEQUEL! BOYCOTT IT!! You can not POSSIBLY pay a hundred bucks to see something called "Love Never Dies" or "Once Upon a Time" or a musical so disgustingly ludricrous! It has ruined the beloved tale, arguably the most beloved and popular musical the world has ever seen, and is a decadent shame to Webber's previous work. And just a personal opinion of Sir Andrew if he dares to stage a SINGLE MATINEE: You deserve to rot in the depths of the blackest ocean with my grandmother. | |||||||||
