The Plagiary of the Opera

Meh, I liked it better when it was Phantom of the Opera in 15 Minutes by Cleolinda Jones. Reviewers, myself included, have politely pointed out to the author that s/he should give credit to the original author but those reviews are being deleted ( Read more... )

I love how the one reviewer says "I love how you put down the Leroux purists", when she herself has probably never even read Leroux based on her own fanfic. It's people like that who are ruining the canon.

Erik is supposed to be freakin' ugly! One ugly MF!

Was going to alert the author to it, but I see you've already done it. :) WTF kind of explanation is that? Is she claiming to be related to the person who wrote it or something?

First, I despise plagiarism. This thing didn't even try to conceal it (not that it would make it better). The "story" should totally be removed.

Second, while I am a Leroux purist, I'm perfectly fine with ALW canon as long as it is CANON. The movie kind of destroys ALW canon and no, it is not okay to rewrite history in a universe that is supposed to take place in our own.

Whoa. Is it just me, or are most of the parodies on that site rip-offs of Phantom in Fifteen Minutes?

Oh God. I'm just... not even gonna go look.

Like we don't have more than enough material for original funny with the Gerik based fanfic, inventive misspellings of Raoul (why hello, Roule the Visconter of Change) ingenious planes, kidnapped ballerinas, Christines sold into slavery, a magic opera house with a dorm and a chapel in it, Erik's lair that he can rebuild using popsicle sticks and pencils after the mob trashes it, and a host of other fun tropes that make no sense at all. Every day, I find some new piece of crazy that I need to work into the revision of my fic. Every. Day.

Hi *waves* I'm a lurker :)

I think the story has been deleted now...and just when I wanted to review, damn.
