Review Responses

awanderingchild: Thank you for your review. It's alright. I'm a terrible reviewer as well.

GAKDragonMCP: Thank you for your help. Your more of pop appreciator than I am I'm afraid. I make a statement this chap your probably not going to agree with. Oh well. Once an Opera snob…have to say though I do like Amy lee voice. I can cope with that pure style. I agree about words sometimes. But I swear I spend so long practising word ending I think my teacher is out to get the mumblers Yor should so do Monsieur Reyer… I would but I'm not really an orchestra person. So many people fumble that section as well.

PJBG: Yep I do the same. Then the immortal debate… should I kept reading. If she get pregnant I tend to stop. Thanks for reviewing.

scorpion's muse: Aaaa. Thanks for reviewing.

Erik's Wild Nightingale: Yes poor Erwik. When I found a laptop story I had to stop himself drowning himself in my shower…

xxinotxpiecesxx: Oh please everything in life is long and pointless. That was really interesting. I was kind of meaning the Shakira thing. I'm sure you know what I mean. I suppose people abuse that how they abuse Opera….

MetalMyersJason: It's difficult to tell sometimes. I own a LOTR Mary- Sue she's called Selene….

Nabira: Thank you!.I believe I mentioned Les Mis once (shudders) never do again. I love Time to say Goodbye. Not with SB singing though. Although I suppose I can see his point.

Polly Moopers: Hello! It was great to see someone I recognised on ppn. It was kind of scary tho. Andrew read the book. (calls) Erik. He did it on purpose. Bring out the marshmallows!.

Emmi: I have just found a believable time travel fic by wandering child. I nearly cried with happiness. Only she makes it work however. What is role-play anyway. I always here people talking about it?.I least I ma not alone in my annoyance.

Estelle Tiniwiel: (claps) thank you. How hard is it for people to work that one out. Believe me dance isn't mine either. Perhaps someone should write Christine Daae is not a ballet dancer.?

Baelish: Yeah grammars a bitch. I do my best. I agree that's why Erik hurt him. (evil grin). You are so so right. I don't see why writers can't see it though. I think I might write the Physiological reason for making a Mary Sue. Oh it exists all right.

Silent Phantasy: Thanks for your help. Yes the world has gone mad.

MadameGiryMiranda: Yeah I know some singing ballerinas. Yet no ballet Opera singers. Oh believe me I tried….

In which Erik meets Nuclear power.

Erik meets the laptop.

Short plot summary so far.

Marie Suzette has fallen from 2005 into 1870 France from America. She is helped by Madame Giry to become Prima Ballerina and the lead in the Opera Grease. Erik hears her sing Gloria Gainer and falls madly in love with her. He takes her after the performance to his lair.

Erik looked up from his composing.

"Marie my love what is that noise?"

"Erik my cherry pop it is my laptop which I managed to grab while falling through time and space"

"Ok sweetie. What are you listening to?"

"Oh muffin buns only my fave band in the world. Evanescence."

"Oh strawberry lace. I think their really good. Lets buy them. But wait Isn't this 1870?. How does the laptop work?. Electricity hasn't been invented yet?"

Marie Suzette looked temporally confused. Then she brightened.

"Oh yes Treacle I remember!."

Erik looked love struck and confused at the same time. (crossed eyes)

"How my waffle mixture?"

Marie beamed. Her smile filled up the cave. Many bats died.

"I created nuclear power. While you were in the shower. Oh lollipop that rhymes!"

Erik leaped up.

"Oh banana ice-cream!. I will make it into an opera. But how did you invent nuclear power."

"Oh Juice box it was easy. Energy from the uranium atom!
The nucleus of the U-235 atom comprises 92 protons and 143 neutrons (92 + 143 235). When the nucleus of a U-235 atom captures a neutron it splits in two (fissions) and releases some energy in the form of heat, also two or three additional neutrons are thrown off. If enough of these expelled neutrons cause the nuclei of other U-235 atoms to split, releasing further neutrons, a fission Œchain reaction¹ can be achieved. When this happens over and over again, many millions of times, a very large amount of heat is produced from a relatively small amount of uranium. It is this process, in effect "burning" uranium, which occurs in a nuclear reactor. The heat is used to make steam to produce electricity."

Erik smiled.

"Ok then ,my little Kiss of death"

The End

Erik… come back….

Why why why!. Let me go in order.

Surely a strange guitar like noise with people talking would make Erik set off all the traps in the lair? The man has never seen Electricity or music being played.

There is no way Erik would like any kind of pop/rock thing. He might listen to Charlotte Church if pushed but that would be it.

The mother of all reasons. THERE WAS NO POWER!. How would the laptop work?. Even if it was on batteries surely the whole time/space thing would muck it up.

Now Erik hate's to mean (who am I kidding?) But anyone who can write a laptop into a story must either be blind (Coughbeendone) or think that 1870 is some kind of Alco pop. If they have no basic grasp of science how can you expect them to be able to write as well? Would you leave these people with your children?.

Pop and Opera voices. (with thanks to GAKDragonMCP)Right between the three of us I think we've got this sussed.

Opera voices use Vibrato more than pop singers. (No that is not Christina A warbling) .They also have more power and projection skills than a pop singer and a bigger lung capacity. Erik says once a family can eat dinner off your back your lungs are big enough for Opera. An Opera singer could fill a theatre without a mic. A pop singer could not. This is why there is no way your OC could sing lead soprano with no training. For the record Sarah Brightman is not an Opera singer. You may have noticed I'm not a fan of SB. I was ok with her until I heard Pie Jesu. Just to prove my point she sang a duet with Bryn Terfel (One of my favourite baritones) and the difference in quality of voice was incredible.

One of the problems with people who write songs in that are pop is the idea that Pop/Rock is a better style of music and don't like Opera. Arias do not have to be shrieky train wrecks. Opera singers (In my and Erik's opinion) are the best trained of all types of singing. (Don't hit me) Pop singers could do American Idol without any vocal training. Opera singers would not.

Some people are going to hate me for saying this. If you don't have any appreciation for Opera it is difficult to say that you are a real fan of Phantom. (I'm going to get flamed). I know this is an extreme view but someone's got to have it. After all Erik composes classical Opera not musicals. If you are adding modern day song something is very wrong.

Please don't hurt me….

Finally. I've had a lot of feedback from the ballet thing. Here is the most common view.

In order to get into professional ballet during that time period you would have had to have started no later than seven. Around nine of ten your flexibility begins to change. If you haven't learned the basics by about eight it'll be much harder and you would almost certainly never make it to prima ballerina.

Thank you Silent Phantasy

One last point. Traditional belly dancing is not modern. From feedback I received from someone who knew way more than I did about belly dancing. Still don't have your character audition doing it. The only way I would think it could fit into 1800's would be if it was set in Erik's Persian time.

That all for now folks. Next time, Maria Suzette gets pregnant with twins Please Review. I respond to each and every one.
