I guess I should fill out my own survey. And remember, there’s a #phansurvey2018 tag!
Name (or what we should call you): fish
Location: USA, eastern time zone
Instagram: private, sorry
Other: wheeloffish on ko-fi
1. General phan since: mid ’90s
2. Part of Tumblr phandom since: May 2017
3. One-sentence summary of how you got into Phantom: my mom started playing the original London cast recording after she saw the show
4. Phantom-related performances attended: Toronto production; seeing LND in October and possibly restaged tour in early 2019
5. Adaptations you’re familiar with: original novel, ALW musical, 1925 film, 1943 film, 2004 film, 1987 animated film, 1990 Charles Dance phantom, Kay, Phantom of the Paradise, David Staller phantom, Tom Alonso phantom, Phantom of the Opera on Ice, Takarazuka Revue, Wishbone…
6. Other relevant tidbits you’d like to share (collections, costumes, celebrity encounters, etc.): as kids my brother and I would reenact the final lair with action figures and I saw Laird as Raoul but I think I’ve mentioned that about 500 times
1. Main blog: wheel-of-fish
2. Phantom sideblog, if applicable: n/a
3. Other sideblogs you’d like us to know about: n/a
4. Your blog focus/aesthetic, if you have one: hahaha I don’t think so
5. Types of fan content you produce, if any: mostly gifs these days, fanfiction historically, an occasional ridiculous video edit, nosy surveys
6. Types of content you reblog (Phantom or otherwise): photos, art, gifs, occasional fic, stream announcements, cool PotO memorabilia and trivia, pretty things, things that speak to me on a primal level
7. Do you post or reblog NSFW content? I sometimes post links to mature content offsite, but otherwise I usually don’t because I suspect there are a lot of minors following me.
8. Other general interests: reading, piano, nature, animals, stars, indie music, food/cooking
1. Favorite adaptation(s): the original novel and the ALW musical (and ok, the Persia section of Kay)
2. Favorite character(s): Christine, Erik, the Persian
3. Ship(s) you ship, if any: I can ship anyone at this point if it’s convincing enough, but I do gravitate toward E/C and pharoga.
4. Favorite actor(s): Gina Beck, Hugh Panaro, Saulo Vasconcelos, Jeremy Stolle, Earl Carpenter, Michael Crawford, Amy Manford
5. Other Phantom-related obsessions: Phantom hands, Christine’s entire wardrobe
1. Favorite phan blogs: see this post
2. Content you’d love to see more of: characters besides E/C, as much as I love them; current cast bootlegs (ha); and really anything that brings more phans together
3. Phandom discord server(s) that you frequent: I don’t log in a whole lot, but I’ve joined Palais Garnier Hellpit, OG’s Obedient Servants, and Phantom Pals. I’m a bit more active on the Hellpit because they were the ones to draw me out of my shell. :)
4. Do you/would you attend phan-hosted streams? If so, what would you like to see streamed? I try to attend them regularly, and I host on occasion. Would love to see more of the foreign replica and non-replica productions.
5. Do you read fanfiction? If so, what kind(s)? I read very little of it these days due to a combination of burnout and an inability to focus, but I love me some angst to fluff. Slow burn is excellent too.
6. Anything else you’d like to add? Thanks so much to those of you who have filled this out, or plan to do so! I’ve loved reading them!
