How It All Started

My journey into web design and fan community building began in 2005 with a fan group on MSN Groups called AmyEvanescence4eva (archived version). What started as a simple passion project quickly grew into something more meaningful—a place for fans to connect, share media, and celebrate Amy Lee and Evanescence.

As the community grew, we moved to our own domain, Amy-L.net, where we continued to expand and refine the site over several years. Eventually, we made the transition to our current home—AmyLeeFans.com—where the legacy continues with even more content, features, and fan-driven dedication.

About AmyLeeFans.com Today

AmyLeeFans.com is a carefully curated space for Evanescence fans, offering a comprehensive lyrics library, exclusive archival photos, tour date history, rare video footage, and ongoing news updates. The goal is to preserve and showcase Amy Lee’s artistic journey—past and present—while fostering a respectful, inclusive, and passionate community.

Whether you’ve been here since the early MSN Group days or just discovered the site, thank you for being part of the journey.

A Personal Note

Running this site has always been a labor of love. It’s about more than just music—it’s about connection, creativity, and the power of expression that Amy Lee and Evanescence have given to so many of us.

I’ll leave you with one of Amy’s quotes that has always inspired me:

“Be strong, believe in who you are; be strong, believe in what you feel.” — Amy Lee
