*raises hand* I'll admit I'm a former Raoul basher. However, I thankfully reformed from my old ways after seeing this really bad fic on FFN.
Honestly these days E/C just isn't as good as it used to be. There's just to much stupidity in the fandom to ever find any good fics about them, and with R/C you can barely find anything at all. Sometimes I wish that movie hadn't come out, because it brought a load of fanbrats into the fandom. I'll admit though I was introduced into the fandom by the movie, but I now have found other versions that are so much better.
Also I'd like to point out that other E/C fans more often than not think that Susan Kay's book is canon. Erik and Christine never had a child together in Leroux canon (Sometimes I wonder if they ever read the book or not). Though Susan Kay did write a very well written book I think it's better that other's seperate it from canon.
I really do wish there were more R/C fic, because more often than not you guys seem to be more behaved then my side of the fandom. *shrugs* E/C is still my OTP, but I tend to enjoy it more myself than with other fans. Thanks for the good read. Nice essay.
