So,
I'm in college now. It's an art school, and the literature program here is awfully invigorating. It's been restoring my love of writing, and with the recent free time I've had due to the coming holidays, I've read a lot of old favourites. One in particular was Susan Kay's "Phantom". I've highlighted, memorized, and performed sections of it for Acting classes… It's thoroughly carved a space in my heart. Through Kay, I've been opened up to a world of the Phan universe. I've read Gaston Leroux's novel both in French and English. I've seen the musical countless times; my friends and I sing it frequently whenever we're in a car together.
…so why haven't I written a single phanfiction yet? It's been four years since I've read that special book… even longer still have I seen the musical. Instead of Disney, my dad and I watched musicals together. This story has always been one of my favourites because I could relate to it… I was an outcast for most of my life due to being an artist… I'd sit alone in a corner, reading a Harry Potter book in about two hours. In class time, I'd always sit in the back and simply draw. I didn't really socialize. I played the violin well; head of the class. I hated math. I hated people.
Inspired by the greatest love story ever told, (NO, not Romeo and Juliette), I humbly give you this tale.
