WOW... this is a brilliant essay. I agree with aboslutely everything you've said, as I am a die-hard R/C shipper as well. Seriously, they are THE couple of the musical. :D Raoul is so much better for Christine than Erik; he suits her. I don't know, they just... fit. Like the pieces of a puzzle.
I must say that the stage musical is SO much better than the movie (the movie was terrible, IMO), but the book will always be my most favorite. :) Leroux did a great job of making it clear that Christine and Raoul LOVE each other, that they belong together, and that a possible romantic relationship between Erik and Christine would be totally unhealthy. *shudders*
ANYWAYS...
I really do wish there were more R/C fics and sites and artwork... but the fandom is complete infested with E/C fics, sits, etc. Not to mention hyper, giddy, rude E/C "phan" girls.
Again, great essay. It was a good, refreshing read. :)
