How did you discover EA?

I found EA about 4 years ago. A girl that I know posted a pic of her in msn. She thought that I'd consider her the most beautiful girl in the world

Well, she was beautiful and later I found out that she is a musician! and pretty good musician by the way.
First song I heard was Organ Grinder and I was totally blown away how she shredded her violin

I became a muffin of Emilie 3.5 years ago. I saw an advertisement for some magazine starring Emilie on the cover.
Because of her looks I became curious and after hearing Misery loves Company I fell in love!

I was listening to Evanescence demos on youtube and The Art Of Suicide was one of the related videos. I thought I would probably regret listening but couldn't stop my curiosity and well, all I can say is I've never regretted it

On you tube I was searching some gothic lolita videos, when all of a sudden I see a red haired girl and song title Gothic Lolita... And of course I loved it

Sometime in 2009, my girlfriend was at her public library looking for interesting new music, and somehow they actually had the import version of Opheliac. Seeing the cover, she was intrigued, thinking it might be another cool gothic girl band to get into. The results were not what she expected, yet she was compelled to continue listening. She played the CD for me, and I had a similar reaction - it was unlike what I was anticipating, and also unlike anything else I had heard before. Something that striking deserved repeated listens, and the more we listened, the more we loved it.

Wow!, i discovered EA a while ago, it was a peculiar thing indeed. I was walking down the street with my parents and we happened to walk by this music store that had the album "Enchant", and i was really into fairies back then, that was what lured me in, the cover!, but anyways. I remember that i bought it as soon as i could and went home quickly to listen to it, that perhaps was one of the greatest experiences i've ever had, and im not just talking about the music. The lyrics were amazing!, back then i remember i connected with every song in that album in a very intimate way, i was a really sad and sick person then and that album just made it for me, i think it was just magical. Sadly, i was kind of young and i forgot about her for quite some time, but i kept Enchant between my favourite albums.

When i turned seventeen i got into a relationship that didn't turned out to be what i expected and it really messed me up in every way possible, so i turned to my art and i painted alot!, i wasn't even going to high school anymore, i just stayed home to paint, that was when i was introduced to Opheliac, this time i didn't bought the album randomly thought. My friend brought the album to my house and we sat down to have lunch and when i heard the vocals in "Swallow" i was like totally frozen, because i had a mind blowing deja vu!, i'm telling you, my face must have been priceless. Once again i bought the album and loved each song, my god.. don't get me started with Opheliac, that was what pushed me to get every single song she has and become a muffin. I love to paint and draw to her music, i think her music made me feel just fine in my darkest hour, the rest is history.

I first discovered her about 5 months ago when I was looking for a new psychology related book to read. I was very interested in asylum's....so I looked up "asylum book" or something similar. I then found Emilie's book. Immediately, I knew I wanted it, but at the time it was out of print.

I waited, and then a couple months ago I saw her book had been re-released! I still didn't have the money, but my boyfriend surprised me with a copy of it.

I absolutely loved the book; it was extremely fascinating. Of course, before I even started reading it I started listening to EA's music. I especially liked the album Enchant, and her cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. Her complete variety of vocal and musical styles really interested me, along with her lyrics. Before I knew it, I became a muffin.

these stories are all very cute, it's good to know people are still just discovering EA

i discovered her by means of revenge and bitterness towards me... xD
when VERY young, about 5 years ago, my ex-girlfriend and i had just broken up, for the second time, and fairly violently. i had no idea that she was a muffin of EA, until, distraught (the day after we split up), she sent me a link for

I KNOW WHERE YOU SLEEP. she said to me, "this song will tell you how i feel about you, you fucking bitch. you'll hate the music, but listen to the lyrics"... and i fell in love.

so of course, i listened, and the biggest insult of my life turned into the best discovery of it :')
and 5 years later, me and that ex-girlfriend are now very good friends, and i took her to meet EA a few months ago

beautiful things come in ragged packages, i guess ^^

I was sitting in my friends car and she was playing a mixed CD and Misery Loves Company came on and it was like my soul was filled with light and inspiration, I had her play it over a few times and that week was when I found out that she was Touring in the city over from mine so I went and saw her and from there I fell madly in love with her and her music!

One time my friend and I were comparing music on our ipods, and they were extremely similar. Then he asked me if I had ever heard of Emilie Autumn. I hadn't, but I thought I had heard the name before, so I responded with "Is she that epic violin chic?" He hesitated, and responded with "Maybe..." and told me to look her up. The hilarious thing was that I actually was NOT thinking of emilie when I said "epic violin chic", in fact, I was correct that I had never heard her before. But when I listened to her music, the person I called "epic violin chic" got bumped down to "pretty good violin chic" and Emilie was placed in the position of "super awesome epic violin chic". Then I got all her music, and discovered the fanbase she became "super awesome epic violinist, harpsichordist, composer, singer, and all around person".

I actually found out about EA through Hot Topic. About 6ish years ago I was walking around the mall with a friend, and as Hot Topic was really the only place in my area that I was aware of that catered to anyone even remotely 'alternative,' it was one of my favorite places to frequent. I decided that I wanted something different to listen to, so I picked up a compilation cd. It was DJ Ferret's Underground Club Mix #2, from which I discovered EA, Voltaire, and the Cruxshadows, 3 of my favorite musicians throughout high school. The track on the album is Shallot, but I wasn't completely hooked until I went to her myspace where I found Swallow. <3
