Wikipedia's definition of a 'Phantom Phan'

If you think the following is funny post this on your profile and write your name here: erik'sangel527, xXxMusexXx, Oprghst, Queen Madisyn of Narnia, Easely Girl, Onyxx Rayne,Thaovyphantran,Kahlan.

"A cult following has evolved around the story, with members calling themselves Phantom Phans. The most obsessive are those enthralled with Erik, but members can be fans of any of the characters. The most common way to spot one of these people is the way they manage to relate their everyday behavior to the story in some way, comparing their current life situation to some aspect of the story, or weaving their favorite character into the topic. Phans have been known to attend film showings in full costume -- though they hardly need that reason to don their capes and masks in public. And they often stop in their tracks at sight of masks, elaborate chandeliers, a new cover to the book, or even pipe organs. They may sing along if a Phantom-related song comes on over the speakers in a store or elevator. At least one Phan became so infatuated with the story that she legally changed her name to Christine Daaé. One website held a year-long competition as to who was the "Official Phantom Phan". The winner has kept that title as of 2006. Websites contain long lists of favored traits of the Phans themselves, Psychological/Medical breakdowns of the characters, comparisons of the book, play, and films, and news about the actors, along with copious fan fiction ("phan-phictions") Some "phictions" are alternate versions of the same story, and some simply use the setting and characters from The Phantom of the Opera as a launching station for their own storylines. Online Phantom forums have also blossomed over the internet connecting generations of "Phans." The growing number of Phans of The Phantom suggests that these are people who already were inclined to devote themselves to the arts, and many express great interest in other works focusing Gothic romanticism, the forgotten genius, or the damsel in macabre distress."

You Know You're Obsessed with "The Phantom of the Opera" when…

1.) You start writing this list and invite everyone to join in!

2.) At some point right after seeing the musical/reading the novel, you ran off to make your own mask.

3.) You got the entire soundtrack after seeing the play only once…

4.) …Or perhaps never seeing it at all!

5.) Either way, the whole thing's on your iPod.

6.) "Music of the Night" is now your personal lullaby and you listen to it religiously every evening before bed.

7.) You carry a safety-pin with you at all times, just in case.

8.) You feel compelled to take piano lessons since antiquated pipe organs are rather hard to come by.

9.) When you show up at the local church's doorstep and beg the pastor to let you learn how to play the organ there.

10.) Instead, you wind up in a confessional booth to be absolved from lusting after a (fictional) murderer.

11.) Eventually, you get your mitts on Webber's sheet music for PTO.

12.) And if you fail miserably at trying to play the score, you run to your nearest musically inclined friend and beg them to play it.

13.) Every day.

14.) You know what ALW and PTO and OG and a thousand other PoTO acronyms stand for.

15.) But enough about ALW, you have moved on and are watching/reading/listening to every available PTO version there is!

16.) You're ecstatic when your friends compare you to the tragic, brooding character that is the Phantom of the Opera.

17.) Even if it's only in the sense that you're both crazy.

18.) You look down your nose at people who don't know that the Phantom has a name: Erik.

19.) You quote famous lines from Gaston Leroux's novel. Among them, "I only wanted to be loved for myself."

20.) This earns you brownie points with your literature instructors.

21.) You've gotten a string of shoelaces/neckties together and called it "the Punjab Lasso."

22.) Your maniacal laugh has been groomed to perfection.

23.) Your mother discovers that the mirrors from her handheld compacts have disappeared only to find them reassembled in a circle in your room…with your hamster/lizard/small family pet in the middle of it…and you raving, "Suffer, Raoul! Suffer!"

24.) You have a sudden and unhealthy interest in mirrors.

25.) A cop pulls you over. You ask, "Is there a problem, Daroga?"

26.) You desperately wish you had eyes that glowed in the dark like Erik's.

27.) You also want a white stallion for your personal ride.

28.) Since equine pets are rather expensive, you instead kidnap your little sister's stuffed pony/unicorn/My Little Pony (while wearing your PotO getup) and christen it Caesar.

29.) You've looked up how to tie a noose on Wikipedia. (Hey, every Boy Scout probably knows it.)

30.) When you found out that you were probably reading an abridged copy of the Leroux novel you hunted
down a complete version and devoured it in a single sitting.

31.) Although you were once again shocked by the obvious disparities between it and the play.

32.) Not that it matters, because you love both equally.

33.) You enjoyed the two versions so much you empathized with the characters, especially Erik's heart-
wrenching tale.

34.) For days you can't get the pang out of your chest.

35.) Trying to relieve your melancholy, you scour anywhere for any humor to be had on this sad little tale…

36.) And, to your undying elation, you come up successful!

37.) And you gleefully share the cartoons/jokes with everyone you know: your parents, your friends, the guy on the street corner (who says you need more help than he does).

38.) Then you pick up a (long-awaited) copy of Susan Kay's spin-off novel, Phantom.

39.) And have to hit the anti-depressants all over again.

40.) However, you now revere Kay as the most talented, insightful phanfictionist in history.

41.) That's right, you spell it "phan"fiction, along with "phan," "phantasic," and "phanatic."

42.) You read other phanfics, hoping to find another comparable to Kay.

43.) If you do…TELL US!!

44.) If you don't…you start writing your own and swear it will be just as awesome as Kay's and that it'll gain
you enough fame that Michael Crawford will sign it.

45.) You hope to publish in 2011, the centennial anniversary of PTO's novelization.

49.) It's no secret who was in the Red Death costume at last year's Halloween party.

50.) You like awake for hours at night wondering if the Phantom of the Paris Opera House was really just
Leroux's brainchild or if "he really did exist."

51.) You swear someday you are going to book a flight to Paris just to find out.

58.) As you're all discussing matters of the Opera House, "Raoul" and "the Persian" get into a heated debate about Christine and Electra complexes and the conversation ends with "Meg" kicking "Poligny".

59.) You wish Erik would get over Christine already so he could move on to better, smarter, more deserving people…like you.

60.) You make your own PTO T-shirt and copyrights be darned!

61.) You have gotten a hold of a petrified scorpion and a grasshopper.

63.) You constantly remind your friends about how lucky they are to have a nose.

64.) You speak in the third person.

65.) If there's something you don't like, you denounce it by saying, "Punjab it!"

66.) In the middle of an otherwise "normal" conversation, your friend may say something that will just cause you to interject, "That sounds like something Erik said."

67.) And when they snap, "I don't want to know what Erik said!" you break into a grin and reply, "Wow! You're
quoting Susan Kay!!" (like in the chapter when Nadir shouts at his son).

68.) You are complimented on Youtube for making insightful PTO commentary on videos.

69.) Know what make wicked cool beds? Coffins.

70.) You call your friend Christine "Little Lotte" and if she doesn't like it she learns to live with it.

90.) You wish your dad knew how to play the fiddle like Mr. Daae.
