 | 07:33 am - All Things Phantom - BlogTalkRadio
If you haven't heard, there's a new way for fans to connect in the Phantom world at BlogTalkRadio.com. We've started a new Internet Talk Radio Show, which debuted last week.
I would like to thank everyone for catching our first show live on July 11th. We had a few technical difficulties with sound qualities with my co-host being out of town, but all will be clear this coming week July 18 @ 5 p.m. PST.
I cannot believe how many people showed up! We had 19 streaming the show live, and nearly half were in our chat room. 112 have downloaded the archived show within one week. We even had listeners from England and Spain and two brave callers joined us live. We've been flooded with emails this week with comments full of kudos and requests to be on the show.
Saturday, July 18 our show will broadcast live at 5:00 p.m. PST. We have a new introduction by the Phantom himself that will knock your socks off and give you chills. The man who did the vocals will be our guest.
The second half of the show we will open the lines and talk about Christine Daae, so be ready for a lively discussion! If you're too chicken to call in live, then join us in the chatroom and post your comments there.
You can stream the show live from our BlogTalkRadio show page or listen to the archived show if you can't catch us live. Keep up to date on future shows by visiting our show page or our new nifty blog at All Things Phantom Show Blog.
Come join the fun with a bunch of Phantom fans we we talk about all things Phantom!

I know you will have fun wanking this or picking it apart. Especially the sexual purity of pinkity pink Christine. I am doing a local event this weekend that has a pink theme to it and was thinking on colors in POTO and what they mean. Did a blog on it... jenniferlinforth.blogspot.com

| 09:05 am - Wankable of all Wank... the second book cover for The Madrigals!
What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your loneliest loneliness and say, ‘This life which you live must be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will again and again be turned and you with it dust of the dust!’ Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse that demon? Or would you answer ‘Never have I heard anything more divine’?—Friedrich Nietzsche
With anticipation I have long held back like a team of wild horses, I can begin to give my fans and fans of The Phantom of the Opera a glimpse into my upcoming release ABENDLIED, book two of The Madrigals! For years I have studied Gaston Leroux's most mysterious character, Philippe Georges Marie, the Comte de Chagny. My favorite in all of classic literature, the mystery behind this man sparked my imagination and so much more. MADRIGAL begins four years after the events in Leroux's novel, picking up on famous 'plot hole' in the book and branching out from there. ABENDLIED, though second in this series, can be read without reading MADRIGAL... a plus. I won't say more expect if you are a fan of Philippe de Chagny or are curious about him... read on.
Here is the promo copy for ABENDLIED that my publisher has finally released. (Abendlied will hit the shelves October 2009) Stay tuned!
(Madrigal can be purchased at all major book retailers and online retailers. Here is a link for those interested! http://www.amazon.com/Madrigal-novel-Gaston-Lerouxs-Phantom/dp/0981557333/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1246883904&sr=8-1)
Croyez!
JenniferDesiring normalcy is difficult enough with a price on his head, but when Erik is falsely accused of killing Philippe de Chagny, brother of his nemesis Raoul, he is launched toward madness.
Anna is an unlikely companion, sharing Erik's heart and the bounty on his head. As the manhunt heats, Erik's mysterious relationship with Philippe spurs the campaign against them forward and exposes her darkest secret: defending her honor ended in murder.
Plagued by his past as The Phantom of the Opera, Erik’s memories enslave his heart to Raoul’s wife Christine, whose shocking confession brings a ruthless bounty hunter into the fray and blackmail to the Chagny bloodline. Blackmail from a hunter who cares little about the Phantom or Philippe and everything about the one he has lusted for: Anna.
With the past weeping like an open wound, can love endure or will it take memories of one unlikely man to heal them all?
Memories of Philippe Georges Marie, Comte de Chagny...

Oh the joys of Spotify.
I've only just discovered Spotify, and if you havent downloaded yet, please do, its awesome. Its like illegal file downloading but without the illegal file downloading, so you can listen to music on demand for free, and a heck of a lot faster (and 100% less viruses!)
Of course, being the Phantom geek that I am I did some phantom searches on it. Turned up a few interesting things, karaoke versions, even Montovannis Lullaby of the Bells which Ih ave been hunting for for YEARS. But I digress.
Search for "phantom of the opera wing" if you dare.
I cant describe it. Just listen. Listen to the whole album. You'll pee yourself laughing. WTF??!?!?!?!

Well, all I did was ask if I could borrow his mask for the Phantom Masquerade Ball and now he wants royalties just because of all the "Lessons" he's taught me.

I came on line to post my Missing Monday blog about those snippets not in MADRIGAL as I promised my readers only to discover that Crankyphantom is as usual--cranky.
Erik seriously need morning java. Although I do adore his latest post. Can Erik be 'sweet?' Can I call him that this AM? Seems he got curious about my book.... and is reading it. I should be worried. Yay? Nay? There is no secret phanwank rule book you all have in the underground that I should be scared of it there? How to wank--by Phanwank. Pulitzer material I am telling you!

So, I'm searching for something, and it goes back (at least "back" in internet time, which means four years is a long time), so I'm posting here in case any of you know where I can find this. There was someone back in 2004 or thereabouts who was writing their own musical version of Susan Kay's Phantom. I found one of the songs on my computer (and it came up when my mp3 was on shuffle) and the song was "The Lesson" and it was about Erik giving a singing lesson to Christine. There were lots of other songs that I didn't save, alas. Whoever wrote this was quite talented and had an amazing voice and recorded herself (in "The Lesson" at least) singing all the parts. I was wondering if anyone knows who that person was, and what the website was where she posted all her work, and if there is any way I can still access it. I figured you phanwankers have been around some time (and remember phantomfans.net, because that's where this person was and where she posted the link and her progress in this work) and could help me find it. Thanks!

Hello, friends! It's been a long time since I've been on, but I thought of something that would be a fun group activity for us all to do.
I present to you...the 2009 Phanwank Gerik Awards!
The nominations begin NOW for our catagories (and any other ones you think of, and that I approve) The nominations don't have to be for new things, they can be old!
1. Worst Phanfiction
2. Best Phanwank
3. Best Photo Manip
4. Phanwanker of the Year
5. Badfic Author of the Year
6. Best (or Worst, depending how you look at it) Badfic Character
7. Best Youtube Video
8. Ebay item of the Year
9. Best (or Worst) Published Badfic

For the Phanwanker of the year award, tell my why this user deserves to win the award. Also, if possible send in some of their work.

| 08:58 am - THE ULTIMATE VIDEO WANK!
When I first started doing Phantom movie reviews on YouTube, my original plan was simple. Say a little about a few of the Phantom movies that I feel strongly about, namely the ALW version, the Herbert Lom version and... *shudder* the Dario Argento version.
Well, the only trouble with that is that fans kept sending me DVD rips of more obscure versions and more than 30 reviews later, I finally get round to the main reason I am here. To mock that ultimate of wankable movies - THE DARIO ARGENTO VERSION.
Ladies and gentleman, the wait is finally over...
Part 1 is online here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfDOzvz4pPs ; with a new part up every Friday or therabouts.
Fans of this boards own lovely Biskuits will be pleased to know that she has a bigger role than ever before with quite a bit of hilarious commentry throughout the movie. And if anyone has any webspace they would care to donate, I would love to upload our full length audio commentry for the movie as well.

*Reiterates subject* Everything there is so mean, but it's all so hilarious. For the unfamiliar, Encyclopedia Dramatica is a huge wiki that makes fun of the internet--and, indeed, the world--at large. Fandoms, websites, business, and people are torn to pieces in mean-spirited, mock-educational, and oftentimes side-splitting articles.
Tonight I looked up PotO; their article was a little lacking (really, there are so many more things they could have mocked), but I think many will get a kick out of it.
Somehow, they don't have phanwank listed under their LJ section; yet another bit of proof that you shouldn't trust wikis as exhaustive sources, no matter what that idiot girl in your literature class tries to tell you.

| 09:18 am - Wanking on repeated themes in POTO. Help me out guys!
I have not wanked myself in a long time over here... but Webber is providing such fodder for me. I read about Raould being a drunk in Love Never Dies and in reading many of your wanks I see repeated ideas. I will be doing research on such repeated themes and crafting blogs on them for my readers and for articles within the Romance Writers of America. The two primary ones I see (and I did an opening blog on this today at http://jenniferlinforth.blogspot.com and my Myspace ) is the drunk Raoul and the Erik and Christine love child.
If any of you see others since all you wankers are the authority on Phantom fiction... drop a post here or email me at author@jenniferlinforth.com I'd appreciated it!

 | 06:21 pm - Three things
Hi, new here - but I just had to share this with you guys and see the reactions to it. I realize that earlier there was an image that almost seemed to be a certain president with a mask, but there actually is a book with a very, very special cover on it. When did I miss the news stories about him lurking through opera houses and stealing Roule's ingenious planes?
I also have two questions for Phanwank! What Phantom of the Opera books out there are particularly wankable? This account is actually going to be where I write extensive reviews for a lot of Phantom of the Opera books (and movies) out there among other things, and I'm currently working on reviews for Sadie Montgomery's quartet of sap.
The second question is...I'm noticing that in every Phantom of the Opera novel that doesn't feature Erik/Christine as the pairing of choice, Christine has to be portrayed as someone who isn't a worthwhile human being. Is that in every novel I have yet to have the "pleasure" of reading, or are there books (or even great fanfiction that isn't published) that doesn't do that? It's getting to the point where I think one of my notes when I review these things is going to be "Christine is an evil biatch."

Hey Phanwankers...Don't have much for a Comeback post aside from this. For some reason, the batshit that was Blueflamewolf has been on my mind in recent days. Probably because some friends of mine have been LOLing over Otherkin FAQs and...yeah.If you weren't around for the original Blueflamewolf wank...oh, man, are you in for a treat. Though it looks like she's re-organized some of her "fics" and thus lost many of the stellarly wanky reviews. This is profile wank, rather than fic wank, because I don't know if I have the energy to start in on her diary/fics at the moment... (bolding mine.)
( From the Vaults of Classic Wank... )Which brings me to say this: To those who have read 'The Soul of a Ghost', (appears to be sadly bahleeted, but was glorious in its cracky claims of OMG TRUE STORY YO) why would I lie about this? I don't really like to get that much attention! AT ALL! EVER! HEY WHY DID YOU STOP LOOKING AT ME? HELLOOOO I'M OVER HERE! LISTEN, HEY, I'M TALKING TO YOU! I'm a very solum person. (spelling sucks) And I know that people are getting pissed off because I'm posting it, but come on! This site is to free your mind, soul and voice. ...fanfiction.net? Unleash your imagination? It's a tagline and makes no mention of minds, souls, and voices. Because the vast majority of users do not has them, my precious. And I'm trying to free all of them. Besides, nobody said you HAD to read it! Hell, nobody said you had the LIKE it! And yet she was so quick to silence the voices that chorused "BAAATSHIIIIT!" Do you think I like being this way?! I DON'T! Damn it! (Susan breaks off, panting and tearful, and slowly moves upstage.) --overwrought high-school play monologue FTW. I did one much like this, once. Sometimes I hate being different! Sometimes I wish I wasn't what I was! Why doesn't anybody give me a chance to explain myself? I was born this way and there is nothing I can do to change it. >_< It's sad. Really sad. But anyway, just uh... Just read what you think you might like, but please, I don't need more flames and I don't need more damage then I have already suffered... Just please be gentle, and if not, then you can just burn!... Have fun, I suposse. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ~Key to my Homepage: A Riddle~ (Note: Not everything is done yet on the website, so be surprised if it's not as great as it sounds.) 'Cause it sounds PRETTY GREAT. To anyone who wishes me well, and wants to join in the clan of the dead, Sign me up for NEITHER. Allow this riddle inside your mind, should your life be filled with dread. ...what does that even mean? To gain entrance, find the orb that hangs within the sky; who dark secrets were never told; The...moon? Or sun? Or is it a nebula? Which gives light to silver and darkness to gold. Uh... Find the thing that appears twice in a single month, and makes the wolves cry, like bad poetry makes me cry. For in the night, souls show themselves, until the their tears are dry. *shakes head wildly* Make it stop! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX If I may quote a friend here, and I hope she will forgive me for posting this up without asking, but it's such a beautiful thing she typed and I can't stop looking at it because it speaks of a certain truth that lives in everything, even though it points to something else. But then again, I just know, that somehow my live will end with these words, in hope of forgivness and redemption from the past, looking only to a brighter future, and a better world than we know today: She should be a speech-writer for Obama. Srsly. "The story of the Phantom of the Opera still lives on within the walls of the Opera Populaire of Paris. It changed and grew as time went on, just as Comte Chalifoux who? had said it would. It was handed down as legend at first… then it was cast off as superstition, the product of the over-imaginative minds of the girls in the Corps du Ballet. For the people of Paris, the Opera Ghost was just another great fairy tale – a story to tell one’s children at night, to pass on like a lie to spread like a fire. But sometimes, when one enters the lower cellars of the theatre, in that deathly silence and dark, the ghostly whisper of an old love HATE. OBSESSIVE HATE. story can still be heard in the cold air…" And that, my friends, seems true enough for me. Shouldn't it be true enough for you, too? Wait, what do you MEAN you have two brain cells to knock together? </div>
Hopefully I'll have some better wank next time, though you can't go wrong with a classic.

| 05:33 pm - Now I've gone from being amused by the awfulness of this phic to genuinely hating it
Today in chapter three of Who He Never Knew, a new charecter is introduced to the indignation of this wanker, and nothing continues to happen.
Also, it's kind of obvious that in a few places I just got bored and replaced random words with 'panties'. What the hell, it's been a busy day.

I did a Netflix search on "Phantom of the Opera," and one of the available titles was this gem--it may sound familiar to you, but you'll see at the end that it's not the movie you're thinking of.
The Phantom of the Opera (1989) R
An emotionally and physically scarred man known as the "Phantom" (Robert Englund) -- once an enormously talented composer -- haunts an opera house in search of a maiden he can groom to be a diva. Once he identifies his protege (Jill Schoelen), he kidnaps her and takes her on a journey of revenge back to 1885 London, where he plans to unleash his new creation in this gory film version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hit musical.
I really wish I could see that movie.

OK, this isnt technically a phanwank because its a review of a Phantom spinoff that is actually good, but sometimes its nice to dwell on Phantom related stuff that isnt total garbage. Yep, my review of "The Phantom Lover" is online at:

| 07:29 pm - I'm about to get really pissed about those single-sentence paragraphs...
Today in http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4935936/3/Who_He_Never_Knew , Erik and Meg's lengthly, probing discussion reveals absolutely nothing.
( Adventure ho? )
( Okay...ass end of cut failed...meh... )</div> EDIT: Okay, so...that? *points above* Have tried unsuccessfully to fix it three times, so I just say screw it. I do not get why every other post of mine has something go horribly wrong for unknown reasons. Maybe God doesn't want me to mock his less inteligent creatures. Well, it never does well to allow oneself to be pushed around by bullies, so I say 'Screw you, God!' So there.

 | 07:35 pm - Are there no depths to which this thing won't sink?
I found this in an IMDB thread through a link on the sequel's wikipedia page. This, apparently, is Meg's casting information:
Meg:
Caucasian woman, mid - late 20s. Madame Giry's daughter and a Coney Island fairground star. Gothic, mystical, unusual, sweet, charming, fun; has a broken baby-doll vulnerability, edge, sexiness, and a heart of steel. Strong mezzo soprano singing voice. A spunky voice, preferably with a raspy quality, up to top F sharp (top line, treble clef). Must be able to belt as well as sing with a lyrical ability when in balladic mode.
For my two cents, I just have to say that this whole sequel debacle just became personal. NOW THAT DREADFUL LITTLE MAN HAS GONE AFTER MY MEG.
The feeling of E/M dread I've had since it was announced that she went with Erik to Coney Island just notched up by about twenty points. Between this and the names of the three narrators, I'm really, really starting to feel like this will be the Titus Alone of the phandom: weird as hell, nightmarish, and completely disjointed from its original material.
