Some Excerpts
Why did you start writing hanfic? How long have you been writing?
It really started because my friend and I had these wild imaginations and fantasies about meeting Hanson so we started writing it down. We didn’t even know that it was a real thing called fanfiction. I’ve been writing 20+ years now and I can’t stop no matter how long of a hiatus I go on; I just keep coming back to it.
I know you’re an Adam Lambert fan, too. How is that fandom different from Hanson?
I think the biggest difference is the love. In the Hanson fandom, there’s this clash between the people who write slash and the people who write het. I write both, so I kinda try to keep my head down and stay out of that rift. But there’s definitely a compassion that isn’t always found in the Hanson community. You can find it on one side or the other, but there’s not a meshing of the two worlds and that’s just sad to me.
Favorite songs to listen to while you write or which inspire your writing?
To be honest, I don’t listen to music while I write. I usually just have the TV on because music tends to distract me. As for songs that inspire my writing? Just about anything with a good storyline or emotion to it can inspire me. Anyone from Taylor Swift to Adam Lambert to Good Charlotte, and obviously Hanson.
