General Update—
I'm still actively updating the main article as things happen. There's now a quick link in the header of the desktop site that will take you straight to it.
Some other important bullet points if you haven't been following along or don't have time to dig into that essay:
The SSS comments are being heavily moderated, but it's not clear which Admin is doing it. Regular posting has been disabled.
EA officially switched the SSS group settings to private, so you have to have a link to get to the SSS. It's not searchable through FB.
EA hasn't made another official statement (yet), but she has posted here and there on FB and Instagram.
Most fandom activity is taking place on Instagram and in other FB groups beside the SSS.
A handful of fans are selling their EA merch and promising to donate the proceeds to various charities. Check out the Asylum Swap & Sell FB group and/or the #eamerchforcharity Instagram tag.
Our Instagram page has taken off a bit, so if you want to talk to me or get small newsflashes instead of long articles, go there.
The askbox is still open if you want to talk to me on Tumblr.
Friendly Reminder:
Don't contact EA's family. Don't contact people in EA's friend circle that aren't related to Emilie Autumn LLC. Use caution and good judgement when contacting people who are.
I also want to share some words of wisdom from a former Asylum Forum moderator, Lady Cyanide:
Unfortunately i'm not surprised, she has never been one to handle criticism and has always ended with her hurting everyone and digging herself deep into a situation that didn't need to happen.
A lot of what i think has already been said, but one thing that is making me a little (ok, more than a little) uncomfortable, is that people are messaging everyone she knows to try and get dialogue out of her.
I know people want some explanation for the shitty behaviour of someone they'd respected, but this woman is not their problem. As someone who was a mod on the forum when a particular fan became a little too invested in the forum community contacting others about her bad behaviour can easily slip into harassment. While we can easily track her reaction on her social media, I do wonder what is getting sent to her email/less public contacts. When that incident happened and the forum was shut down without warning, her response was pretty poorly received (along the lines of get off the internet, get out of your mums basement and make real friends, losers), but the emails that weren't being made public were a little unnerving. Definitely call out her bullshit, just bare in mind there are ways of contacting her that we can't keep receipts on.
