Chapter 9 is up now on AO3! Apologies for not having it up on Saturday as we usually do, but we were just both too busy to get to prepping this chapter for release. In this one, we have some good quality time between Erik and Christine, an afternoon of music. We hope you enjoy this chapter, and thank you for your continued support!
A week late, but chapter 10 is up! We are getting into some meatier content, slowly but surely, and we are very excited to share all of it with you! We hope you enjoy this new chapter! All of your kudos and comments are greatly appreciated <3
can anyone explain the differences between each erik for me? like the names people use / his personalities? i’m a lil confused seeing people using different ones lol
Okay, first: welcome to the fandom! I'm gonna mostly talk about the names half of your question. There's two kinds of Erik fandom names:
For the first kind, there's a few notable ones:
Merik - Musical erik (the Erik in the Lloyd Webber Broadway musical) Gerik - Gerard Butler Erik (from the 2004 Schumacher film, Gerard Butler was the actor that played the phantom) Cherik - Charles Dance Erik (From the 1990 miniseries, Charles Dance was the actor that played the phantom) Lerik - Leroux Erik (aka the Erik in the original 1910 book written by Gaston Leroux)* Kerik - Susan Kay Erik (The erik in Susan Kay's novel Phantom)
Sometimes you'll see this format for specific musical actors, but that's less common and usually you can figure out what the poster means from the post tags.
*Note that I've also seen this used to refer to Lon Chaney Erik. Lon Chaney was the actor that played the phantom in the 1925 silent film. I usually see it referring to the Erik in the original novel but it's good to keep in mind.
As for the second kind there's few of these. The only one that I've seen used is Erique to describe the Erik in the 1943 movie directed by Arthur Lubin. There's also a few different Erics from various derivative works, including such spin offs as Phantom of the Mall.
These are less common overall so you're probably fine learning about them later.
And an additional note - the Destler last name came from the 1989 film directed by Dwight Little. It's been used very broadly in the fandom as Erik's last name since he doesn't have one in the original novel. Usage of the last name Destler is not necessarily indicative of the author meaning the 1989 movie Erik (at least as far as I've understood).
I fully encourage others to join in here and fill in my gaps, especially for personality - I haven't seen all the derivative works (especially the movies, that one's a big blind spot - I've seen 2004 and 1990 but that's about it lmao)

I wasn't sure how easy Erik would be lol, so I went for a modern Christine, inspired by my and @brendadaaedestler's interpretation of her in our fic, Sticky Notes and Serendipity!

There is a trend I’ve noticed that smut fics tend to be much more popular than anything else and honestly I just want to have something to look at to remind myself and that writing doesn’t have to have sex to be worth putting out into the community.
With your ever-growing fame, will I end up as a faceless passerby in your illustrious life? 🌠

“At first I was thinking, ‘no no no don’t put me back out there. They’ve had enough of me, especially after Crawford and yourself. But the reception I got…it was just great. I’m so glad Sierra ran on, because she can kind of tell when I’m uncomfortable. So I carried her off…”
………maybe be won't finish it
artists who are in the phantom of the opera fandom, i have a request/idea:

The delicate colors of this dress enhance the brocade pattern of the skirt so well.
