Hessefan is a prolific fanwriter. She started writing fanfiction since 2004 until this day, still active in myriad of fandoms. Her fanworks are mostly slash, but she doesn't limit herself to that, writing as well some het and gen.

As a fan

Mind you, I belong to that strain of fanfickers who often feel gleefully scorned by the popular mass (the Violencia Rivas in me is shitting herself laughing right now): I DON'T DO FANSERVICE, I never wrote what the fandom asked for. If you want #fap there are many fanfickers who are willing to write whatever you want for a comment. Nowadays I'm more interested in telling the story or developing a plot of my interest (yes, even if it's only my interest and no one else's). Nobody pays me to write fanfiction, so if I don't enjoy it myself, I don't see the point (the day I get paid I'll write what the public wants; oh, yes, I know what the public wants... I study Publishing). I needed to warn you or it was going to explode on me.

She has published 721 fanfictions to date, almost all of them ficlets below 1k of words. Although, to that number she clarifies that:

I don't like that they look at the number of fics a fanficker has; that will never indicate anything, it's just a number. Quantity is not synonymous with quality, but it is true that practice makes perfect, because the first fic will never be the same as the last. [...] That's why I've never been proud of the amount of fics I have. That's why I never demand more than what the other person can give me. That's why when I read I don't look only at grammar or narration. Many of my favorite fics and fanfickers have mistakes, but a good story is more than a well-placed comma or correct use of verb tenses.

She has also published meta about being a fanwriter and what this entails. Two of her well known meta post are Popularidad: "Nadie me lee y escribo bien" (via Wayback April 23/24) and Fanfickers, futuros escritores (via Wayback Apr 23/24).
