Attention! Thief of His Heart and White Dove have been taken down for the time being. I hated having to do this but the truth of the matter was, my muse was not with me for those stories, and I did not like having them posted when it took so many months to update a single chapter. I hated doing it, and I can honestly say that it will not happen to another of my stories, but for right now I think I need to focus on Gemini, Dark Prince, and Lonesome Hearts. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for everyones support!

A little about your humble author: I began writing fan fiction late 2005 and it has become a growing passion. I write only Phantom of the Opera phics because, like many people on this site, I thought the ending should be a lot different, that is one of the main reasons I started to write. I admit that after seeing the 2004 movie my interest in Phantom was sparked, but it had little to do with Gerard Butler(who I do think did a very good job).

It was the character that he played which caught my attention and I suddenly had to know more about this masked man whose love for a chorus girl was timeless. I read the Leroux book twice and am currently reading Susan Kay's book for the second time, and am now what you can call taken with a masked genius. That is why I have devoted my time and energy into making stories where perhaps Erik might find his happy ending. I write both modern days and period pieces, and love doing both, so you can be sure that you will see both from me at any one time!

Beta: I would be lost if not for the help and support of my great friend N.S.L. Jewelles. She has been there to help me with all of my stories and her own talent for writing allows her to give me input that I find extremely valuable. She is always so busy but somehow always manages to find time to help me with anything. I am extremely lucky to have been gifted with an amazing beta, and more importantly, a life long friend. And if anyone is interested in reading some really good Phantom of the Opera stories I highly, highly recommend her work, she has a talent I sometimes envy!

Regarding Erik/OW: I usually only write E/C stories but over the past few months I have come to terms with the fact that as long as the story is well written, and Erik truly is happy, then there should be no problem with whom he finds love.

Erik: I tend to lean more towards Gerard Butler's phantom when it comes to Erik's look, but it has a tendency to change. Erik can be a very dangerous man at times and I think about that whenever I am writing him. In my stories he is usually very dark in the beginning and some times it is quite hard to like him. I think that the change Erik goes through in my stories makes him more true to life, and reading about his struggles makes the story more interesting.

Christine: In Leroux's story Christine comes across like a very weak woman that is not at all sure what she wants. I think that Erik needs someone much stronger to fall in love with because his love is that monumental. In all of my stories I try to write a Christine that is strong and not afraid to stand up for herself. When she realizes that she loves Erik she does everything in her power to protect that love-and I think that is the kind of woman that Erik needs.

Concerning Slash: I personally have nothing against this pairing, but you most likely will not find it in my writing, that is just not what I do. I have read several stories with such a pairing and they were quite believable, so once again I hold nothing against it.

Concerning Sex: This, I find, is a part of life. It will be in every one of my fics without question. They are all under the M rating, and as such, if you are not old enough to read it, please don't, you have been warned. Sexual relations usually happen between my characters after there is time for them to develop feelings for each other. I am not the type to have them jump right into bed with each other, so that will not be occurring in my stories. If this is not your cup of tea, please feel free to read something else or simply skip it, I have no problem with that.

Regarding flames: I do not mind criticism as long as it is not rudely put. If you do not like my stories or think they are awful that is fine, everyone has their own opinion and I realize that, but do not say anything you would not like to hear yourself! If there is some way you think I may improve let me know, and I will look into it.

Disclaimer:So I do not have to say this over and over again I do not own any of the characters in these stories, they all belong to Gaston Leroux, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Susan Kay and Warner Bros

Current Works

Gemini: In progress. Medieval. Christine's father dies when she is young, leaving her in the hands of his second wife- Katerina-who has hated Christine since she was a young child. Katerina is constantly putting her down, telling her she is worth close to nothing and no man would ever want her for his wife. Years after her father's death Christine is convinced that what her mother says is true. Meanwhile rumors are beginning to spread about two twin brothers and their fight to win their inheritance. Both have faces better fit for gods, but one of them was scorned to have half of his face deformed, having to cover it with a mask when his brother was flawless. The masked one went by the name Erik, and his perfect brother, once known as Samuel, had deemed himself Lucifer. Lucifer was always the favored one, always given the affection because everyone turned in revulsion of Erik's face, and yet Lucifer grew to earn the name he had given himself.

Lonesome Hearts: In Progress. Modern Day. Country girl Christine lives in a small town called Heaven. Erik moves into town and everything in fun fluffy chaos from there! Rated M for sexuality.
