Hanson's Creek is a Hanson fanfic written by Caasi Taylor. Initially, Caasi had a co-author, Bebelzinha, but has continued the series on her own. Written in Portuguese, the story gained popularity even outside of the Brazilian fandom. At least one English translation existed as of 2001[1]. The story was first posted on May 12, 1998 and completed in 2018, making it the longest running Hanson fanfic ever. The fic is divided into eight books, which are now considered to be separate stories, but have also been labeled as seasons.
One version of the summary (translated by Google) is as follows:[2]
Barbara, Isabelle and Sabrina are three ambitious and dreamy girls in search of a common teenage dream: to get in touch with their idols. They have a plan, and when Isaac, Taylor and Zac land in Brazil for another stage of the tour, everything happens. The three brothers, owners of an incredible popularity around the world, become friends of the girls, ignoring the warnings of the father, that is against any type of relationship with Brazilian girls. Walker, a friend and at the same time general parent, will closely monitor the children's lives, including music and relationships, while still managing his large family. What could just be a more simple story of fans who know their idols, actually shows the most cruel facets of fame, and what can often happen to those who are not ready to deal with it.
Depois do Fim
After the story's completion in 2018, a sequel was published. The title translates to "After the End," and the translated summary is as follows:
After seven months, Isabelle still carries the emotional aftermath of the end of her relationship with Taylor, a world-renowned musician.Alone, with little money and now living illegally in the United States, she needs to leave behind her pain and traumas and fight to stay in the country. Without many options she ends up accepting a very controversial job.
To thrive as an exotic dancer, with no experience and no motivation, however, is not her main challenge; Forgetting your great love is your greatest difficulty.
After an incident on stage, when Isabelle collapses and nervous faints, Nathan, a psychiatrist enters her life in a way she could not imagine, sparking a possibility of a fresh start. But the frequent memories of his past and circumstances beyond his control end up bringing Taylor back.
