Soignantehide bio
 Author has written 7 stories for Phantom of the Opera. Hi. My name is Soignante, and I like to write Phanfic. (Hi, Soignante.) Common elements of my stories: 1) EC. Because I like it that way. 2) Angsty. Because Erik's had it rough, by all accounts. 3) Genuinely ugly Erik. Because it doesn't make sense otherwise. 4) Multi-dimensional Christine, with a backbone. No fainting damsels. I just can't make myself write it. Besides, if it's gonna be EC, what kind of woman could handle such an automatically fraught relationship? 5) Long stories that borrow elements, but not the essentials (except for the Retelling) of the original. If that sounds good to you, please do read, and tell me what you think. Thanks! |
