HTP or the Hanson Tribute Project was a print zine in the Hanson fandom. At least four issues were published and an online members area was also available for subscribers with exclusive content. The project began as a fan published book sent to the band before it morphed into a zine for fans.

Description from the website:

For well over 10 issues now, there is one thing most Hanson fans have had in common. That feeling of excitement, that had us checking our mailboxes eagerly to see if that next issue of MOE had arrived. We were united, as fans, in the MOE and got a glimpse into the wonders of Hanson.

This past summer Hanson announced that MOE would be discontinued after issue 12. In just a mere two issues, we will no longer have a fan magazine. But is that the way it should be?

The HTP is here to fill that empty void MOE will leave each and every one of us with. A new Hanson fan magazine, going under the name, the “HTP Magazine”, hopes to follow in MOE’s footsteps, and supply Hanson fans with their quarterly doses of 32 jam- packed pages of articles, pictures, artwork, interactive projects and what do you know, more pictures!

Leaving in our favorite bits from MOE, such as our own version of the Net Pick, the “Cyber Cyte” done by Becka Weisner (webmaster of Hanson Hotel) and plenty of reading from the fan's words themselves we can assure you, there won’t be an empty space left!

We have recruited a very respectable team of talented writers, Laura Motta (Bright and Beautiful), Amanda Dupuis (aka Llamaesque) are just two of the many creative fans on the team.

Our motto, right from the very beginning, “By the Fans for the Fans”, is still guiding is strongly these days. Basically this means, we need each and every fan out there to get involved! We are accepting anything from encounter stories, to pictures and editorials, so don’t hesitate to send in your stuff, and who knows, it might be featured on one of our upcoming issues!

But it doesn’t end there, Hanson too, will stop by the HTP to talk about the latest from time to time and will send over more exclusives on occasion!

Subscribe now, and get your membership to the HTP which will grant you access to our online member’s area the “Zone”, where more exclusives can be found and everything’s Hanson.

With the very best of wishes,

The HTP Magazine Crew
