Author has written 4 stories for Phantom of the Opera, and Jane Austen.

I did promise, on multiple occasions, that I would stick to "Another Love, Another Lifetime" until the end.

As it developed, I turned over and over in my head all the different ways it could be concluded. It has been radically altered from the first outline I had drafted in my head so long ago, and thus needed a different ending than I had originally planned. If I were to continue this story, and tie up all the little subplots and every minute detail, I don’t know how I could ever finish it. I believe that this is the most appropriate way to end the saga. I myself am quite satisfied and at peace with it.

Thank you to all who read it, and especially to those who reviewed. You have no idea what a joy it has been these past 2 ½ years to get feedback, encouragement, and constructive criticism, and to let other people (perfect strangers, even!) actually read what I have written. I never imagined how this experience would affect me, and I wish I could thank each one of you individually. I am both sad and relieved to be finished with my Phantom of the Opera story.

As for "Mistress of Delaford," I can't believe I'm still getting reviews! I know I have not updated in a long while, but I believe that writing this story requires more care and caution than with my others. I do have plans for it, though.

For those of you who happen to be fans of the classic pre-teen book, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, I would recommend that you check out the story "A Voyage Unforseen" by penname "Love-the-Boots". It's a collaborative work between myself and my good friend Kara, after we felt challenged to write a story about Kit and Nat that remains faithful to the original work and the time period in which it is set.

Aside from these stories, I don't plan on writing any more fanfiction. (I may revise and re-post my Phantom of the Opera stories, since at least "A Piercing Light of Hope" is probably due for more proofreading.) Now that ALAL is finished, I plan to concentrate more on my novel, and if it is ever published, I will post the information here.

I love you all, you don't know how much!!!

3. Ode to Don Juan Pants reviews
If you love the movie, likely you love Gerry Butler in the pants featured in Point of No Return, also lovingly called the Don Juan Pants. This is a highly inappropriate poem dedicated to these pants.

4. A Piercing Light of Hope » reviews
5 years later, Erik finds his last chance to win back Christine. The woman who can help is more of a burden than he expected, while obeying his demands yields even worse results than she had feared. NOT a Mary Sue.
