I don't know, Erik/Nadir is pretty EWWWW too... I found it sad that good stories turn to... be not so good in the end. Only yesterday I read a story that started out so good with Erik being mysterious, demanding, humble, you name it. And THEN Christine went like... "Okay, I love you! you hear me? I love you. Really. like OH MY GOD I LOVE YOU!!!!! Have sex with me! NOW!!!!" And Erik goes like: "What? Really?? Really REALLY? Okay!" Yeah...Erik/Nadir...Erik/Raoul...that...would never happen. I don't know how in any universe of any fiction that any author writes, I don't know how they could make any of that believable. It's not there in the first place. When I think of E/R, I always think of Erik singing to him "I was made for loving you" Am I mad?

Yeah, Erik/Raoul just doesn't make sense ANY way you slice it. As for Erik/Nadir... I've actually seen some very cute, well-written fics thereof, most of which basically have the plot line "Reza Has Two Daddies!" Very sweet, family focus (that just happen to have gay men). Don't know if I ship it, though, mainly because I think of them more as being "bros."
Continuing with the crack and yaoi, would you ever ship one version of Erik with another? (ex. Kay Erik/Dance Erik)

Yes! Frenemies! That's a good word for it!

No! Don't die! You mustn't die! You shall break your poor Erik's heart if you die and leave him all alone down in this forsaken cellar!

"Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of York; And all the clouds that lowered upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried." GAAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA! *being delirious, type 3: declaim Shakespeare's verses* Erik: *hits her with PotO by Leroux* ...I came to my senses! Thanks Erik!

I read this one fanfic...well basically everything by the author was the same chara development wise. The one that bothered me was the full-on wimpy Erik. i mean, i don't mind if he loses a fight against an army of rabid grizzly bears with AK-47s, but if the winner in a physical duel between Erik and Raoul is continually Raoul, theres something wrong. Also he would be like clinging to life through the entire story. Traveling to America with various bullet wounds, at least one infection, both legs broken, and countless cuts and scrapes from walking down the street. poor (pregnant) Christine has to defend both of them against evil mastermind drunk Raoul.
also, i just wanted to say that thanks to you all, i randomly shouted 'spoonjab' during lunch today and got banned from the table by my weirded out friends

Like Muirin007 said, Erik is the Chuck Norris of the 1800's. He would not lose a fight, especially against Raoul...in Leroux's book, Leroux describes Raoul as girlish...and he faints all the time. Spoonjab! I still love that.

Come to think of it, I can't recall any other famous piece of literature where the male protagonist *faints* from fright... or cries like a child... or is generally useless except for his tenacity in saving Christine. Raoul sure is an interesting hero. Good thing he's a sweetheart or he'd have nothing going for him.
