I just wanted to say that I've really been appreciating seeing your posts on the Phantom of the Opera!! Idk they're really refreshing to see posts disconnected from the fandom side of it all (and it's great to see someone actually appreciating Raoul's character instead of hating on him like I see most people do, especially since he's my favorite. And appreciating him being Catholic! An aspect of him I try to do justice to whenever I write about him!)
Honestly, I think it's about time I re-read the book!! (I only recently read it for the first time and have been already wanting to reread it, and your posts might be the push I needed!!)
The Phandom side of things has colored my opinion of the story for so long that it was fun to return to the book and the musical with fresh eyes and just appreciate what's actually there instead of what pop culture assumes that it is.
It's been very fun seeing your interactions on my post! It's fun to see someone who loves the original novel, and appreciates Raoul and his Catholicism. (I'm interested in the implication that you write fics including such things). If you do reread, I hope you have fun!
