Author has written 5 stories for Phantom of the Opera.

Background Information: I have never been anything but a romantic, nor will I ever wish to be. I am the type of person who could imagine the romance in any situation even when there is none to be had. There are many good writers on this sight and being new I hope to learn from them. I do not enjoy horror stories (I never have) however I will read them sometimes when they spark my imagination so that I can think of a romance for them later on. Though I prefer period pieces I enjoy modern ones and also enjoy Alternate Universe fics . Just a minor heads-up I will write any of the above mentioned whenever the mood/inspiration strikes me. I also enjoy reading RENT fanfiction although I will never write it. Still I find it refreshing when I get writer's block to dabble out of the norm and see what good writing there is in other story which has become my other fandom pleasure.

About my writing style:I am really an independent writer who sometimes will make the characters more to my own purposes. Honestly it depends on the plot of the story I am currently writing. I never base my stories on one specific aspect/form of the forum because in my opinion when the specific type of adaptation/version is the basis for a plot they tend to grow to the point where they are so overdone it is ridiculous. In my stories I will twist the leading man/lady to fit my plot and never use one particular line for the whole persona of their character. That does not mean I will not use aspects of the characters to form the leads, I will, but again only aspects, no specific worlds.


Fandom I write for: I write only for one fandom and that is Phantom of the Opera I have loved this story ever since I can remember and also am so familiar with its many forms that it will be easy for me to make good stories about it.I have read all the books and seen nearly every adaptation and still I cannot help but be thrilled by the aspects of the classic story of the man who would die of a broken heart for the only woman who he ever truly loved and how she, a young and naive child, lost and unsure of herself and frightened by not only her own emotions but also the intensity of his passions, his torment and his brilliance flew into the arms of another.


Couples:

My couple: I have always been a complete Erik/Christine shipper because of the feeling that they have for one another. That passion that really put the story into play. This is the real romance, the undying and yet still unrequited love that drives one to madness and one to confusion about who they truly love.

Concerning Raoul and Christine Romances: While I do not hate and or dislike Raoul I just do not see any passion in their love, merely innocence and childlike infatuations. Infatuation is fine for childhood romance but like I said in order for it to be a true romance it needs more than that, innocence and the former are not what a real romantic inclination is founded on for without passion there is no chemistry and without chemistry the love is only that of a friend or even family-inclined, not that of a lover.

Concerning Erik and Other Women Romances:This I just cannot see, period. The passion that Erik has for Christine is too deep and too strong to even allow the notion of him being with someone else romantically.

Concerning Erik and Meg Romances:There was absolutely no inclination what-so-ever that he or she loved one another. In fact she was terrified of him and he did not interact with her throughout any of the movies, plays or books. This couple in my opinion does not make any sense and is completely ridiculous.

Concerning Erik and Madame Giry Romances:Again, this paring makes no sense, Madame Giry is like Erik's mother and therefore I find this paring slightly nauseating and very disgusting, I will NEVER read or write anything pertaining to this paring.

Concerning Erik and Raoul Romances:Let me just start by saying I have nothing against homosexuals in fact I am friends with quite a few. Still this paring has no foundation whatsoever as the two were in want of the same WOMAN so much that they would resolve to kill one another to win her heart. I just don't see how this can suddenly be twisted into romantic inclinations.
