I am totally and utterly obsessed with the POTO. I have been since kindergarten when my mom went to see the musical and brought home the cassette (haha, ya, I'm old enough to remember cassettes). I memorized all the lyrics but it wasn't until highschool that I finally got to see it live (I've now gotten to see it twice). Soon after I read the Leroux and Kay versions, both of which I loved. I saw the 2004 movie when it came out but was...unimpressed to say the least however I had the chance to watch the 1925 version on youtube and was very impressed (except for Erik being an escapee from a prison for the criminally insane and of course, the ending...). I discovered phanfiction in highschool and loved it so I've been reading for years but never wrote anything until recently.

My first fic, You Alone, is sort of a combination of Leroux/Kay/ALW musical. I was kind of flying by the seat of my pants, being new to writing phanfic and all, so I can only hope it turned out well.

Rosebud is a Leroux based one shot that's about Christine's birthday... not a particularly happy fic but I was pleased with how the story turned out.

Note: Hi! I haven't written anything POTO related in a while because I have been working on a couple of other, larger projects :) One of them is for sale in the Amazon Kindle store, and if you like what I've written here, you might enjoy that as well because it's about Hades & Persephone, and as any Phan knows, the two stories have a lot of similarities. It's called The Destroyer of Light and the pen name is H. Tullius.

Thanks so much!
