A/N: Sorry this new one took so long. I expect this story to be finished comparatively soon. There's this one (Carlotta), the next one (Mme. Giry), a third (Meg), and a fourth (the Persian is back on!) then that's it, unless someone wants to submit something for the managers, or anyone else they feel has been wronged or under-represented.

I have noticed a very annoying trend with I had written the chapters really nicely, with bullet points on Christine's, using a different font for each character's signature, etc. These somehow didn't make it online, so I'm just pointing something out.

I now have 61 reviews! When I first posted this story, I was remembering all these horror stories I'd heard about a fic being up for a year and only getting four reviews, or something of the sort. Fifty reviews was my first goal, so now I'm trying for a hundred! It's up there, I know. I feel special today.

SPECIAL NOTE: This chapter is not mine. It belongs to the incomparable Daisy Diva.

Dear Phangirls,

Listen! Listen good! I am very insulted by the stories which you write! I am currently storming around my room dictating this letter to a servant because I am so peeved at this nonsense!

Me, a toad? Hardly! I am in no way a tyrant!

And though I'm flattered by my few dedicated fans out there, I am insulted by the way that most of you think I'm heartless or soulless! I love Piangi you fools!

From the very angry,

La Carlotta

Erik'sPhantomess: don't you know how to count? Didn't mean to make anyone (who didn't deserve it) cry, though.

LoverofBalto: Raoul understands, just as long as you're sorry.

Phantom Hamster: I KNOW! Doesn't it bother you how everybody thinks that Erik is so damn hot because of Gerry?

Torch baby: Actually, I had Madame Giry planned for this chapter, but I got this excellent submission instead. She's next, though. Good idea about the whole "Meg/Erik" and "Mme. Giry/Erik" thing. I hadn't thought about that too much. Hmm. I haven't heard that rumor before. Live and learn, I guess.

SickleYield: I try my best, but sometimes I do get that futile feeling.

MouetteHeartsErik: As I said before, that "mentally stable" remark was a way bigger hit than I had hoped for!

Leotabelle13: everyone is allowed an off day once in a while. I was re-reading Christine's letter, and I realized that I totally forgot to have her comment on people's appearances! I feel kind of dumb. I didn't know you could check books out for a whole school year!

Anri: Yay! I LOVE LONG REVIEWS! I would rather have an in-depth analysis, which points out weaknesses as well as strengths, than a little blurb that goes like: "LOL! Loved the fic, keep writing!" any day. In my opinion, if people would put themselves in the characters' places, they would be a lot more understanding.

Daisy Diva: Thanks a million for the chapter! Several people were disappointed because of a lack of a Carlotta chapter, but now everyone's satisfied (I hope). Excellent chapter, by the way. Written in true Carlotta form. I could just see her storming around her dressing room, shrieking at the poor clerk who had to write this. Almost every single sentence ends in an exclamation point, which is exactly the way she would talk, too.

Kchan88: Christine does need to stand up for herself a little more. I know women of that era were trained to be helpless little objects, but she does have SOME gumption! And being sweet does not mean that you are also a doormat (I know you didn't say that. Just making a point.)!

GerryLover15: Hmm… LMAO "Laughing My Ass Off." I think I'll stick with LOL or ROFL, just the same. Thanks anyway. When who has short hair? Raoul or Erik?

Dear intoxicated by eriks music,

Looks at you nervously/angrily because of the "savy the fop killer" thing (What, exactly, does "savy" mean, anyway?). I wasn't addressing you personally, just phans as a body. As I said, I mean no offense to the people who mean me none. As I believe the popular saying in your time goes: "don't hate me because I'm beautiful." While I'm talking to you, what on earth is Hogwarts? Sounds like an odd name for a school, which I'm assuming it is.

-Raoul

Elizabeth: Raoul says, in the friendliest way possible, "You're on. Pick your weapon (I shall be coming armed with a pistol and sword), and come with a second." Thank you for your ideas on the Dagora. Now that you've cleared so much up, the Dagora chapter is back on!

Star Sheep: Which part do you agree with, or do you just agree with the whole thing?

Varadrovia: This was supposed to be Mme. Giry's chapter, but something else obviously came up. She'll be next, though, with Meg after.

Maska: live and learn, I guess. I had fun with Christine's. Hers was less planned-out than the previous ones. It really bugs me about the "slut" label. Just because two people were in love with her at the same time isn't her fault, or anyone's!

Shandethe Sanders: I actually half-guessed when I said that a sou a penny. I'm guessing I was right. LOL! The image of Leroux and Forsyth kickboxing in those slinky black ninja costumes with nunchucks! I know about most of the bad phan literature authors, but who is Freddy Darling, and what did he write?

ForgottenIncapability: it has become this story's mission to bring tolerance and understanding to the largely misguided world of POTO phanfiction. That sounds like it should be the motto for some racial tolerance group, or something. Glad you liked it.

Mrs. Malfoy: Sorry. I honestly wasn't trying to be rude, but that did sort of bug me. Glad you like the chapter.

Musicofthenight5: I always thought it was Vicomte. I've only read the book once (although I am reading it through again), so that might account for it. I couldn't have put feelings about Raoul-bashing better myself. Bravissima. I'm glad to find a (partially) sane reviewer who really wants to see the characters as they are supposed to be, not the fun-house mirror distortions I find so commonly.
