*facepalm*
Lifted from the review page of a Gerik/Mary Sue fic that shall go unnamed:
don't worry about the freaky Erik lovers who are enamoured with a skinny, short, pale, 60 year old weirdo who holes himself up in a cave and obsesses over an 18 year old. He's pathetisad(that is a word from the Drew Carey show I know how to spell those who will dissent my opinion)...he could use some changing.
Oh, my poor, poor fandom.

Oh, oh, please bring on the phandom cleansing. I'll bring the flaming torches and the vats of boiling oil.
You are my hero
I like how you turned from a reviewer to a flamer. These people clearly have no concept of what a flame is. I can't wait for these people to actually get a troll or have someone actually BE mean to them instead of giving an honest to god review.
(Mandy) also stated from the beginning that this was primarily a movie-based Erik modelled after Gerard Butler's portrayel. If this does not appeal to fans of the Leroux Erik, they should know that your characterization will differ from the one they have grown to love. The Erik in the film is highly sexualized, and he does use his eroticized presense to enrapture both Christine and the audience. He touches her, he holds her, he saunters like a well-hung Greek warrior. He does not snivel, or lurk, or bend down to kiss skirt hems. In a fic based on Joel Schumacher's film, it is completely conceivable that Erik would use physical prowess as a means to an end.
If he is just a movie phantom he doesn't have a name so stop calling him Erik...that would be book country children.
I just want you to know that even though you do write (gaspers) slash you are still my hero.
Re: You are my hero
Its not an original character if its an actor from a movie role...not that I am going to say names like "The Mummy" or "Titanic" but what would I know? I don't even know what story you could possibly be talking about.
ok...crazy lady is leaving your journal now.
