Patrick Wolf

[(Anonymous)]

He needs a real fandom. I don't get why there isn't one. (I mean, there isn't... is there?)
It miffs me how such a massively talented guy doesn't have loads of comms devoted to which hair color suit him best and people writing fic about the true identity of the person who stole his Vulture cape.
THERE'S SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR A GREAT FANDOM, WHY ISN'T THERE ONE?

ehhh. there are a couple of fics, I think, remember reading him/simon amstell a couple years ago. But ~*~indie~*~ musicians don't really get significant fandoms these days. not sure why. think they were outgayed by MCR/FOB et al

Simon Amstell? I mean, I love him but that one time (that I know of) that the two met, on NMTB was eh... well, the more fic the better! :D

And IDGI but how can anyone outgay I HEART GLITTER AND HAVE A UNICORN TATTOO AND CAN'T POSE WITHOUT BEING FLAMBOYANT Patrick? and his husband
Some days I think he's simply too ~~fab for a fandom.

oh, i think i might have a vague idea why actually: he's a solo artist and one who isn't particularly associated with a particular scene, so there's a lack of people to ship him with and we all know how people love shipping.

You know, you might actually be right!
Never thought of the shipping angle before, tbh. I just love his music/persona so much I forgot that squeeing over music alone can't keep a fan community alive. And sadly, it can't. :/

Srsly, an active fandom is a priceless resource for an artist/band/movie/you name it. And you have to admit that shipping is often what keeps the fics being written and the manips being made and is at the center of all the fandom interactions and creativity.
Some peeps in Hollywood and the music industry got that and bank on it.

Shame Patrick doesn't have that. I mean, all the moral issues concerning RPS aside, it's a shame he's not having that.

Eh, he does have a strong fandom in a sense, it's just not necessarily a fan community which makes fanworks, really. I mean, he does definitely have some rabid fangirls. And boys. I should know, I used to hang around with loads of them a few years ago.

patrick wolf is awesome!! such a wonderful musician, haha. there's one comm for fic for him, but there's only a few entries. i'd consider a superhero au fic with him, i could see him being a fluorescent rainbow-splattered vigilante who crusades the night fighting crime. i'm partial to rps when it's au. i'm actually having a similar problem to a band i'm fond of - the lead singer is rather similar to patrick too, haha.

I don't do fandom for the musical artists I like.

I mean I like him, buy his music, get excited about his videos and consider myself a fan. I just have no desire to go the fanfiction route with it. That's kind of something I reserve for fictional characters.
