Michelle's Hanson Fanfic Statistics was a website Michelle ran to compile statistics about common tropes in Hanson fanfic. As she explains:
Hmm.. where to begin. Well it all started with my introduction to Hanfic in 1998. The same year I became a fan (hee hee, it took me a year to decide I liked them, but that's another story altogether). At any rate, I went surfing the internet and I accidently came across a hanfic. Who knows what happened to it, I certainly haven't come across it again :) If I ever do, I'll be certain to write in it's summary "the first hanfic I ever read", lol, j/k... maybe.Anyway, after that, I started looking for more. And more. And I began to notice that a lot of stories I read involved them getting girlfriends and ppl moving to Tulsa and stuff. And the more I read the more curious I became as to how often it actually happened. Cos it felt like it happened a jolly lot of times!
And so, I made up a list of about... 10 things. And I had a simple tally system and I wrote down the titles, but not the links. As time went by, I added more things until the list grew to like, 20-odd. In other words, it more than doubled!
When I reached 100 stories, I posted it on my site and then started on the next 200. And I must say that I was shocked that Taylor only got a gf like, 45% of the time instead of 95% of the time :) 'cause that's what it felt like! (all those agree enthusiastically shout 'aye', and all those who actually do that, 'whoo hoo!' lol)[1]
Michelle also maintained a Yahoo! Group where she posted updates about her quest to compile these statistics. As of October 2019, the group had 53 members.[2]
