Hey y'all, I’m conducting research on the musical bootleg community on tumblr and would SUPER appreciate if you would vote in this poll and reblog/share it!
I’d also love if you could tag what you answered, along with any extra details about your personal bootleg/slime tutorial experience! What are your favourite parts of being on bootleg tumblr?
Feel free to send me asks as well if you wanna chat about musicals or ask any other questions! I’d be happy to include you in my research and would be suuuuper grateful for your help
TOP 10 THEATER ON AO3 BASED ON NUMBER OF FANWORKS, SINGLE CATEGORY TAGS ONLY VERSION (2009-2022)
If you want to see the Theater bar chart with the multi-category fandoms included, please check this post.
To make these bar chart race, all series titles in the Theater Category on November 29 (or the closest date to it) of every year were copy-pasted from Wayback Machine to Google Sheets, rearranged according to number of fanworks, manually filtered for fandoms belonging in only one category, and then inputted to Flourish to turn into a bar chart race.
Locked fanworks aren't included in the count because Wayback Machine can’t view those, only Ao3 users can.
The high-ranking Les Miserables tags (Les Misérables - All Media Types & Les Misérables - Schönberg/Boublil) are both in multiple categories (Books & Literature & Theater) so it has been excluded in this bar chart. You can see it multicategory version.
Fandom tags that are no longer in the Theater category tag as of posting this are left out of the bar chart race. These tags are usually either miscategorized or already have other tags referring to the same fandom.
Please refer to this post for more fanfiction bar chart races.
Thanks for understanding and hopefully I didn’t mess up anywhere! 🙏
Hi, my name's Aron. I've been a musical nerd/theatre kid for as long as I can remember if I'm being honest. I remember how big the fandom was in 2018, but I haven't really interacted with anyone since then. So we're gonna try to change that!
My favorite musicals are:
- Spies Are Forever
- In Trousers
- Falsettos (I have a preference for the original 1992 musical, but I like the 2016 revival as well. The Marvin Trilogy is my favorite ever)
- Something Rotten
- Next To Normal
- Rocky Horror
- Ride The Cyclone
Other musicals I enjoy are:
- A New Brain
- The 25th Annual Putnam Spelling Bee
- The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals
- Holy Musical B@man!
- Avenue Q
- Six
- The Book of Mormon
- Beetlejuice
- School of Rock
- Bare: A Pop Opera
- Phantom of The Opera
- Heathers
- Little Shop of Horrors
- Hairspray
- Legally Blonde
- Waitress
- Bring It On
- Firebringer
- Trail to Oregon
- Jekyll & Hyde
- Bonnie and Clyde
And many more! My musical playlist is over 24 hours.
I'm currently trying to get into Anastasia, Hadestown, Eurydice, and The Lightning Thief. I'm re-watching Starkid shows right now, especially since Nerdy Prudes Must Die just came out.
