(Wow! This was an entire decade out of date).

Hello there. I figured you might want a bit more information about the person running this show. If that’s the case, read on.

My name is Bethany, and I’m in my mid-30s. I’m a small town girl, located somewhere deep in the Appalachian Mountains. That makes me sound like a cryptid, and I’m not saying that I’m not. In all seriousness–that’s about all you’re going to know about me personally unless I really trust you.

I’ve been a Hanson fan since I was 11 or 13, depending on how you look at it. I don’t remember when I first heard their music — probably in 1997, but I’m not sure. I bought MON in late 1997 or early 1998 (the memory’s a bit hazy) but I didn’t really become a big fan right away. I appreciated Hanson for being such dorks, for loving oldies, and for making awesome music at such a young age. But I didn’t go all teenybopper over them. When This Time Around was released, however, they hooked me and I’ve only rarely looked back since. I did take myself out of the online fandom for a few years, from about 2005 to 2008. I just needed a break.

As for my involvement in fanfic, I started writing some really horrible Backstreet Boys fanfic when I was about 12. That only lasted a year or so before I realized I didn’t enjoy it and I didn’t really like their music either — I just needed/wanted something to obsess over. That obsession transferred to Hanson, but it wasn’t the same sort of teenybopper obsession. I had a real respect for them and their music. I couldn’t imagine not writing about them — everything I read and heard inspired more and more plots.

So I wrote. I had a few rather inconsequential stories and websites online from 2001 to 2003ish. I was also pretty heavily involved in a variety of roleplaying groups, usually playing Zac or one of The Moffatts. I also dabbled in moffic a bit, mostly as crossovers with Hanson.

As I said, I took myself out of the online fandom for a while but Hanson continued to play a role in what I wrote. I always wrote. I can’t not write something. In the summer of 2009, I ventured back into the hanfic world and started publishing my stories again. Now I can’t remember why I left in the first place, although it is a very different world these days.

I also lurk in a number of other fandoms, and that has inspired me to do for hanfic what I see other people doing for their fandoms; hence, this site. Among those fandoms are bandom, Doctor Who, Supernatural, Avengers and several more over the years.
