Author has written 4 stories for Phantom of the Opera.

Hello everyone! I'm Dark Lady of the Sonnets. But you already knew that. Note: If you know what my pen name is in reference to (PhantomROX1870, you don't count, sorry), then you get a cookie! I was othatpinkpuff. Yes, my username refered to Kirby because Kirby is an adorable little pink puff. Anyways, my real obsession is Phantom of the Opera.

Name: Not telling, but it isn't othatpinkpuff or Dark Lady

Age: Yet again, not telling

Likes: POTO, reading, writing, field hockey, gymnastics, playing the French Horn, the computer, AIM, copy and paste thingys (see below), and a lot more

Dislikes: annoying things, borst (does anyone know how to spell that?), math, flamers, well, there's a lot more

Fandoms: Mostly POTO, but also Arty Fowl and Gallagher Girls. I used to write fanfition of /fanfiction, but I got bored and my stuff was really bad. If you want to read it, then my username there is awesomewriter. Lately, I haven't had any good ideas for an AF or GG fanfic...

Opinions on the Versions of POTO:

Leroux: My first impression was lukewarm, but it has grown to be my 2nd favorite (Susan Kay all the way!). I think that this is the dark epitome of Erik.

1925/Lon Chaney- I can't take this seriously because when I watched it, me and my dad read all the parts out loud melodramatically.

1943/Claude Rains- There was a lot of humor in this one, which isn't something that I expected at all. The scene where Raoul chases Enrique through the catwalk in the opera is awesome, and I like that Christine basically choose no one at the end.

Herbert Lom/1963?- It was okay. You could tell that it was very low budget. Herbert Lom did a good job as Petrie (that named irked me.), but the Christine bothered me. But, WORST DEFORMITY EVER! It basically looked like Erik (Enrique in this version) got reddish paint on his face.

Cartoon: ROFL!! I couldn't stop laughing, but it wasn't intended as a comedy. The cat-murder bothered me, but it's very true to Leroux. That rhymes!

ALW musical- It depends on who's singing. My personal favorite is John Cudia, he just started as the Phantom in New York. I saw it live around Thanksgiving, with Cudia and Jennifer Hope Wills and it was truly amazing. I think they were better than Michael Crawford and Sarah Brightman.

David Staller musical- David Staller is a horrible actor, but the Christine and Raoul actors were good. I think that if they had a bigger budget and better accomaniment, then this version would actually be good. This one has the Persian (who is so obviously NOT Persian), so it gets bonus points (Other than Erik, Nadir is my favorite character.).

2004- Shoot me, I like this one. It was the first version I saw, and it made me fall in love with POTO in the first place.

Charles Dance- I am in love with this one. I'll just keep it short and say that this is the most realistic Christine/Erik relationship. It makes the whole "Angel of Music" idea seem like bull. This is the not dark (not fluffy) version of Erik.

Kay: AMAZING!! I don't know how many times I've read this book. It is beautiful and deeply affecting.

I know that there are other versions, but these are the only ones I've seen/read.
