Secretly Taunting Angel: A Phantom Fiction
The Spark: I read the book a long time ago, and my best mate dragged me to the film version of Webber's musical. Back then I wasn't into gaudy musicals. So I expected to waste my money on this 2 1/2 hour rainbow of crap that was a sad piece of ripped flesh from Leroux's original novel. But I have to admit, it was less than five minutes into the movie and I fell in love. When the chandelier lit up, my heart jumped and my skepticism was defeated. Everything about the film left me flying once I'd left. The Phantom... I believe the expression is, "Rocked my socks!" That night I went home and started thinking about a story, a continuance of his tragedy.
Starting the Fiction: Never before had I written a fan fiction, it was strange and foreign to me. Phantom gets a lover= Unoriginal, people see it every other fiction. You know- He gets a girl in the first chapter and they can't keep their hands off each other. This isn't how every fic is though, which is where I found inspiration. Some fics had smart women, who weren't mindless strumpets. In my fiction, first I wanted to give Erik a companion, someone he didn't realize at first was another person, (He tends to view humanity as a whole like they are objects he controls). As time passed, he needed to realize that companionship is more important than shagging the first pretty girl who smiles at you. And that leads us to our heroine.
The Heroine: I developed the character of Caressa carefully, she had to be intelligent, beautiful, she had to have something extraordinary about her; and she needed to have a tragic flaw. Her tragic flaw has not yet been revealed. Although she has an attribute that bothers some readers, she has youth. 15 year old Caressa, sweet, young, and bright. In my story Erik is at least 40 years old. He has an attraction to bright, young girls; his preference stems from Christine. He first loved her when she was much younger than 15. A 20 year old would completely pass his interest. At the time my story takes place, if you were a woman into your 20s and unmarried, you were on your way to spinsterhood.
Caressa is religious, she is not a roaring, inexplicably-modern seeming spitfire. She is still a child and doesn't completely understand the situation she is in. Yet she finds courage within herself. Men are a foreign concept, and a bit frightening. Her past has lines of sadness, but nothing that has crippled her.
Strangely the only thing I had trouble with when writing Caressa was her name. It was honestly the minute before I posted the fiction that I put her name in, originally she was Cecile, Corinne, Elise, Jacqueline, Madeleine, Mirabelle, or Reinette. All of which I now secretly wish I would have chosen instead of Caressa. But she is your heroine, flawed and slightly misnamed: Caressa Bucher.

A Madman's Sacrifice: The Potter Fiction
Bartemius Crouch Junior: He sits in his chair waiting for what he believes will be an intense interrogation process, and thinks back on the only part of his life he realized was worth living. Basically I loved this character in the book, I thought he was one of the only interesting parts of book 4. One day I got to thinking: What the hell was he doing when he wasn't teaching and running chores for Voldemort? Well, he was a prisoner for a very long time and then stuck in a school where everyone's chasing tail. Ah, love is in the air. A girl enters his sphere of existance and he becomes half of a normal man. She makes life real for him again, and Voldemort falls on the backburner whenever he is with her. Ah, but we know the end of the story all ready. This is how a man marked for a Dementor's Kiss tells his life story, and the extraordinary girl who drove a madman sane.
