I never posted anything to Dreamwidth indeed - I have little time to myself and Tumblr is quicker to manage, but since its new flagging policies are amazingly incompetent (to no one's surprise) and flag things that aren't even remotely adult content, well, I'll have to be here more often :P
But yeah, I admit that I'm not that much in the Phantom of the Opera fandom - mainly because it kind of quieted down for several reasons (Hamilton, Broadway casting, the 25th anniversary's popularity dying down). But you're more than welcomed to use the Comte de Chambord headcanon - I'm of the opinion that headcanons should be shared, so I absolutely do not mind :) And well, I'm just not as inspired as I used to be a few years ago, and it's better to leave it for a while and come back to it with a fresher mind than beating up a dead horse. I'm still up for talking about it, though.
I admit I thought of the incest explanation more as a really bad joke to myself than anything else - so I was surprised and at the same time not when I saw it was real :P
I'm not surprised the ghosts are there just to look "horrifying but cool", though, knowing Guillermo del Toro's work. He's fascinated by the macabre, so that the ghosts are hideous but passively benevolent is 100% his style.
The cylinder recordings all came from one wife whose name I can't remember - and the letters were all Enola's, who is another wife who didn't use the recordings at all. At least that's what I understood :P I'm not sure whether it's the previous wives who compiled it all, or if Lucille kept everything and almost "wanted" Edith to find out - but it'd already be too late.

And I joined the vicomte de Chagny group. :)
