Emily Baker moved to New York City five years ago when she was 18 to pursue her lifelong dream of being on Broadway. She spent her first two years auditioning like crazy to find a stable gig, and landed in the ensemble of Broadway's longest running musical, The Phantom of the Opera. Three years into the job, and she isn't even close to being bored. One night, the leading lady of the cast cannot go on as Christine AND her understudy is on vacation. The producers face the possibility of having to cancel the performance until Emily steps in and offers to cover the part. With much apprehension, they accept her offer and rush her into the rehearsal room. As her Broadway debut in a lead role quickly approaches, she has to put her nerves and fears to the side and give the audience what they want. As the saying goes, the show must go on!
This story was inspired by the real life event in which Tee Boyich, a standby in Mean Girls the musical on Broadway, when on as Janis with only a few hours of notice. Janis was a role that she was not a standby for, and she managed to learn the choreography and music for the role and successfully went on that night - essentially saving the show!
This is my first writing project that I have managed to complete and feel somewhat proud of, so I am hoping that those who read this enjoy it and at least find it somewhat interesting. I love Phantom, and I wanted to bring a fun and unexpected twist into it and bring some light on the understudies, standbys and ensemble members of shows. Feel free to leave any feedback, but please try to be respectful - I am a human and I have feelings!!

Last-Chance1A's Phantom Writer
Hey welcome to Phantom Writer a modern version of Phantom of the Opera. Now please let me explain this help better understand the story, now originally this was gonna to be like Candyman and Phantom of the Opera, later on I added things from not only Conjuring but Insidious along with a few things from Phantom the Musical. I just wanted to let y'all know that this might be if not one of the hardest stories I had to write, but that's if you don't count Michiru x Nazuna (Original) which was a nightmare to write or Dead-End's Road which has me come up with new ideas for it. And that's not to put down anyone who wants to write or are writing a Phantom of the Opera, it's a beautiful story on love, music, and tragedy, it's what I love about Phantom of the Opera, and that shines through with the Characters. And I know I can't do Phantom of the Opera without saying something about the Phantom and I just want to say I understand he is misunderstood for his looks which is sad and is the reason he became the Phantom, but this Phantom was understood but became the Phantom for what can be an honestly be called a simple mistake, Christine and Raoul are also a big part of the story for Christine being the only one to truly understand the Phantom, Raoul has trouble trying to understand yet wants to help Christine with the Phantom which is one of the great parts of the story. On a side note is this will get Mature at some points, and don't mistake this on "it's because he based it on three horror movies." Buddy that's not it, the reason is that how all my new stories are gonna be like going forward, it gives me more freedom to get away with things I normally can't with a normal story Anyway I'll stop stalling you and start the readingComplete
A Second Chance in Love (Erik X OC)
The great fire, it cost Erik everything he ever knew. His house, his only love... everything. He roamed the streets for almost four years, staying hidden in the shadows he made himself familiar with only to find his way back to the abandon and burnt opera house. He stayed there and the first few months were nothing but peace, silence and his inner demons ripping him apart. He had no power for life anymore, no muse to write songs and compose miracles. He simply spent his days looking at the cave walls, not able to think, to see, to feel. All that changed when his ear perked the sound of a child's laughter, informing him of people entering his house but he had no power to kick them out. He saw no reason too. The Phantom was dead after all. He assumed they were the new owners, a word he heard a few times during the past 2 weeks. He mentally scoffed, wondering what they would do with the destroyed opera. Open it again? Fix it? He could care less. All he wanted was his solitude. #1 in phantomoftheopera (10/3/21)Complete
