I shouldn't criticize Lady Rosesong.

Sure, her stories are boring, she writes everyone OOC, her character-bashing tendencies anger me, and her modus operandi is using Phantom characters to retell stories that aren't remotely related to Phantom. But I'm no better at writing Christine in character than she is and my ideas are all just as terrible, so what right have I to judge her? And I can't help envying her dedication--she wrote forty-three chapters out of what was to be a forty-five-chapter fic, and they weren't short chapters! Had she not vanished off the face of the Internet, I have no doubt that Erik, the Date Phantom and The Mask and the Slipper would have ended up being of similarly epic length. I, on the other hand, tend to lose interest after a few chapters, if I start writing at all. I almost wish she'd stuck around, if only so I could make a few sly crossover suggestions of my own and witness the results.

Oh, yeah, I'm back. Hi. *waves*
