Do warn when a fanfic may head into homosexual or non-canon territory. Some people just don't like it, and as we all know, Shipping is Serious Business.

Authors, and Websites
The Scorpion
 * Recommended by somebody else
 * This is one of (if not the) best authors for morbid Phantom fics. Hasn't been active for a while, but what she's got is amazing.

Gondolier
 * Recommended by somebody else
 * Very poetic, dedicated, and versatile as a writer. Sometimes falls prey to purple prose, but seems to have mastered this in more recent stories.

Just B Free
 * Recommended by Elenor
 * Always writes phenomenal, complex stories each different than the last. An Erik/Christine shipper.

Lucifer Rosemaunt
 * Recommended by Pheonix Reaper
 * Writes brilliant, engaging fics, covers a wide range of genres and makes all of them work. An Erik/Raoul shipper (yes, that's slash).

General Fics
''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

The Conjuror's Masque by Tytania Strange
 * Recommended by Zerbinetta
 * Synopsis: Mayhem enters the PotO book as a Christine Daaé is murdered before she can make her debut, a waifish imposter claims her place and Erik seems to be undergoing a strange transformation... and it's up to Carlotta to solve the mystery.

Koszcey by Phoenix Flame6
 * Recommended by Elenor
 * Synopsis: Nadir will bring back the frenchman like he was ordered to. But a dinner out reveals a magician with more than a few tricks up his sleeve.

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2233990/1/ See Christine Sing! Sing, Christine, Sing!]'' by Silver Whirl
 * Recommended by albinotiger
 * Synopsis: Phantom, in the Style of a Dick and Jane book.
 * Comments: Brilliant - wonderfully acute and it had me in stitches the whole way.

The Phantom of Harrison High by Bleeding Heart Conservative
 * Recommended by albinotiger
 * Synopsis: Someone at Harrison HS has been reading POTO and taking it too seriously. About bullying, peer pressure, isolation, cruelty.

Spare Me These Unending Trials by Petit Parapluie
 * Recommended by Much Ado About Nonny
 * Synopsis: Based primarily on my fascination with The Flying Dutchman the opera and what the suave Erik would make of a certain tragic Scottish organ playing doppelganger...Expect chaos to ensue, of course. POTC and Phantom of the Opera COMPLETE AT LAST!
 * Pairings: Eh...well, Madame Giry/Davy Jones is the main one, but a lot of other Crossover Pairings hook up over the course of the story.
