Author has written 10 stories for Phantom of the Opera.

I am a huge fan of "The Phantom of the Opera" and love most versions, particularly the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical and the original novel by Gaston Leroux.

My fanfiction is mainly inspired by the two versions mentioned above, but I also enjoy including references to other versions, such as Susan Kay's novel "Phantom" and the various film adaptations.

I would describe myself as an aspiring novelist who is frequently distracted by fanfic :)

My stories:

The Magician's Voice: My latest work-in-progress explores what could happen if the roles were reversed, and Christine taught Erik to sing.

The Toy Theatre: Novel-length AU, now complete.It explores what could happen if Erik was an impresario in charge of the Opera House.

A Christmas Opera: My Phantomy take on 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. I intended to finish it in time for Christmas 2019, but simply got too busy. I plan to finish it this year.

The Price of Fame: A novel-length humorous fic, and one of my favourites. Rated PG for language and severe doughnut obsession. Now complete. Thank you for reading!

A Phantom's Story: A retelling of the story of Erik's life. Thank you to all my readers who have left me lovely reviews over the years. I'm not sure whether I'll ever finish this story, as I feel my style has changed somewhat over the years. I hope everyone enjoys the existing chapters!

Erik's Diary: A humorous story which currently has only two chapters. I may write more eventually, though. Have you ever wondered what the Phantom's New Year's resolutions would be? Find out here!

The Locket: A two-part story. Leroux inspired, using an idea from 'The Price of Fame,' but still a serious fic (if that makes sense...). Now complete. Thank you to all my readers and reviewers!

Chocolate Pudding: My entry for the first phantomfans(dot)net Humor Contest. It came second! Complete one-shot. Thank you to all my readers and reviewers!

The Peculiar Adventure of Firmin Richard: Another humorous story which was written for a Mythology and Folklore Writing Challenge on phansonline(dot)net. It was inspired by the Greek legend of Theseus and the Minotaur, and is Leroux-based with some references to other versions. It's a complete one-shot. Many thanks to those who read and reviewed.

I hope you enjoy my stories, and thanks for reading!

Best wishes,
