ALL ABOUT PHOEBE!! Anything you'd like to write, draw, create- please make sure it's centred around Phoebe!

Make sure you tag your works appropriately! If it's NSFW, use the correct categories on AO3 and tag it as such here on Tumblr as well! We wanna make sure people know what they're getting into.

Prompts are just to give inspiration! If you have something else you wanna do, do it!

Any ship is welcome, as long as they're centred around Phoebe!

AUs are welcome and encouraged!

Please do not post or interact with the NSFW content if you are not 18+. Thank you.

Historical accuracy is not a requirement! That's the joy of events like these. Even though Phoebe himself is an open book, his recollection of events and dates is, at times, contradictory of even himself. So. Feel free to have fun with it all!

Please don't interact with hateful comments. Delete them as soon as you can.

Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have!! Our inbox is open!

I also want to thank @fanellifest for the inspiration to host this event. The work they put into their weekend for Joe Fanelli was beautiful. Thank you for reminding that the love in this fandom can be spread to the other important people in the Queen limelight.

I made some art for an event I'm co-hosting!

Smooth and Contently Watching Freddie's Every Move

Peter (Phoebe) Freestone

So today's passage comes from his website.

Peter Freestone was born in Surrey, just south of London on January 8th 1955. The first five years of his life were lived in South London, then due to commitments of his parents, he was transplanted to India for the next five. On his return he attended Isaac Newton Secondary Modern School in West London. On leaving school, not knowing where his life was directed, he started work in the catering department of Selfridges department store. After a number of years he started full time work at the Royal Ballet, in their running wardrobe. After a chance meeting with Freddie Mercury he commenced work for Queen taking care of touring costumes and then became personal assistant to the rock star for the next eleven years.

Two days until Freestone Fest!! We really look forward to seeing your creations!!!

For now, here are some photos of our dear Phoebe! May they inspire you!!
