The Scorpionhide bio
 Author has written 15 stories for Phantom of the Opera. aka Siren of Averne on certain Phantom of the Opera message boards where, years ago, I hosted The Phantom of the Opera Morbidity Writing Contests I stopped writing Phantom phic for a verrrrry long time to focus on writing original fiction (My Death & The Maiden novel is out!) as well as create a YouTube show in which I critique vampire media. My passion in Phantom is Dark Phic. Sure, I like the lighter fluffy stuff too, but one of the reasons I was ever drawn to Phantom in the first place was for its darker, Gothic aspects, and these are the themes I like to write and read about the most! All of my stories are on the darker side, some crossing over the line from Gothic romance into sheer horror. There came a time some years ago, just after the 2004 ALW movie came out, where I'd grown so desperate from the overabundance of fluffy phic and dreadful dearth of other dark stories, that I created the Morbidity Writing Contests in order to inspire a growth in the genre, and they were a tremendous success! So if you're like me and a fan of the terrors of the night, I highly recommend checking out the old site I linked above. Most of it still works despite it's painfully dated Angelfire design. You will also find many of those stories already posted on FanFiction as well, many of which are included in my C2 community which is entirely devoted to Dark Phic, and only features completed works. Story stats: The Writing on the Wall: Incomplete, but will return after I take a break to finish The Company of Death's sequel. Elainie: Complete (12 chapters) His Hands: Complete (oneshot) Master Mason: Incomplete indefinitely |
