Jessica A asked Emilie Autumn:

So you've mentioned a few times that your mother's family was originally from Scotland and your father was German, with much of Emily's plot being in a lot of ways a metaphor for your own life (or that's how it seems, maybe I'm a bit off base here.) how did you land on having Emily be from Ireland?

Emilie Autumn Hello Darling!

I believe that Emil(y) came to me as a way for me to work through elements of my life that I was not ready to talk about myself. I believe that Emil(y) is Irish because my own family, on the maternal side, had branched into Ireland from Scotland by the time Emil(y) would have been born. On my mother's side, the family is further traced back to Scotland, moving to Ireland, moving to Somerset, England, then to Canada, then to the US. I imagine I could write about an alter-ego existing in the various time periods in any one of these places;)...

All my love,
EA

Jessica A asked Emilie Autumn:

In the Audiobook and ebook editions, The Captain is now a blonde where before she had black hair, with art in the 1st and 2nd editions being based off photos of Vecona, did you change her to having black hair originally to match Vecona and go back to an earlier idea of her appearance in the 3rd edition or was there a more symbolic reason for the change?

Sweetjunkiegirl asked Emilie Autumn:

The hospital entries can be tough to read as you were clearly not in a good place mentally or physically. Was there anything you wrote then that you disagree with now, reading it ten years later? And were you ever tempted to edit from this perspective?
