Dancing with the Phantom ~

Hello all!!

It's been absolutely ages since we've posted on here, and I finally got an idea for a post, so I pounced!!

If you'll remember, Christine was a part of the dance corps when it all began. So, I looked up Phantom of the Opera dancing, thinking that of course at least one of the numerous movies or plays made would have a good dance corps.

Apparently, not.

Maybe it's because I'm personally a dancer, a ballerina actually, but the pictures I was able to pull up were terrible! From what Google has been able to show me, none of the movies made so far have had an even descent dance corps!!! I was so surprised! I mean, honestly. If it was that big in the book, why not in the movie? I don't remember it being a part of the Emmy Rossum movie at all!!!

But anyway, once again it might be because I'm a dancer. How does it effect you? Does it really effect you at all? Is it because it was something you really wanted to see, or is it just because they didn't keep to the book? Or did you even notice?

And here's a little extra, because this is one good picture that I did find on my scavenger hunt.

Be blessed in your endeavors,
Nahla

An Assignment for all aspiring authors who are also Phantom Phans...

I know everyone is recovering from NaNoWriMo and at least my brain is fried, but I had to write this in response to the last post/poll.

As everyone knows, those who voted pretty much agreed that Meg and the Phantom would make a good couple, too. So, as you can see from my and Cassie's conversation, we decided to write a phan phic depicting what we thought their story would be... so I'm saying that everyone should write one, and (for those authors of this blog) post -at most- the first chapter of it on here, or you can post it on your blog and link it to us in a comment so we can read it or something. :)

have fun!

My fan-fic for the Phantom. Or... my phan-phic for the Phantom. :)

I was extremely disappointed (depressed in the extreme, you know) when the Phantom died at the end of the book.

Therefore, I am going to say that he didn't die. And this is what happened after he didn't die.

Time held no value - living no weight. There was pain in every step, longing in every thought, despair in every feeling. He did not know how long it had been since she had left him, how many years it had been since she was gone. Neither, truly, did he care any more. Being the Angel of Music had long since lost its value to him: he had given up singing and inventing. He took up collecting all sorts of things. The compartment on the edge of the opera house was full in the extreme. He had perfected his most prized possession (the mask which made him look like any other man) only so that he could walk among the other people unnoticed.

I know it's not much, but I haven't really had time to perfect it so that it flows right. :)

Tell me what you think!

Don't think about the way things might have been.

Think of me,

Think of me fondly
