Hi emilie! how does the ebook differ from the original book? do you prefer the ebook to the original? Also, how is the musical writing going?
Emilie Autumn
Hello my dear Oscar,
Great question! There are so many differences that I can't possibly mention them all here, but I can say that the eBook (soon to be in paperback as well) has been refined to give the reader a more exciting experience, and reflects how I have become, frankly, better as a writer and storyteller than I was ten years ago. There are new chapters and songs and characters because the Asylum world itself has evolved, and so, given the chance to add and update in a new version, how could I resist;)? I dearly love the new version, and I definitely, definitely prefer it to the original. I ask any Plague Rat who's read the original to give this new eBook a chance—I don't think they will regret it;).
The musical is going AMAZINGLY, and only takes such a very long time because one has to arrange the very complicated business side of things, and also has to wait for one's preferred actors to be available all at the same time. The new eBook does have secret links to several of the songs from the musical though, I hope you find them!
All my love,
EA

Emilie Autumn:
I admire individuals who have the courage to live in a way that is authentic to their values even if it sets them apart from what might be considered socially 'safe'. I am striving to re-invigorate that ability within myself, having been scared out of it. Was this ever a struggle for you? How would you deal with aspersions about 'living in a fantasy world'- which feels integral to making art, yet is much discouraged?
