So, uh, hello! I’m Hans, a.k.a.
hansbekhart, and
oxoniensis invited me to be this month’s Ask The Author. After a whole lot of stammering and blushing and trying not to be embarrassing about it, I said I’d love to.
Considering that I’m barely a year out of college, I’ve been writing fanfiction for an embarrassingly long time. My sister and I wrote our first Ronin Warrior slash story at the tender age of 9 and haven’t much looked back. I picked fandom back up during my first year of college, when I first figured out that Remus Lupin and Sirius Black were totally doing it, and have been in various fandoms since then. I wrote some ridiculously long Harry Potter epics and read a whole lot of Lord of the Rings and Full Metal Alchemist. A few weeks before the first season finale, a friend finally bullied me into watching this brother-fucking, ghost-hunting show on the CW, and I was instantly hooked.
The biggest attraction to Supernatural was, for me, the weird-ass, grungy, underground world that they inhabited. It’s clearly the CW-version of a non-glamorous lifestyle, but I saw a lot of potential to get down and play with some fucked up characters in a gleefully dirty sort of way (and I don’t mean that in the way you’re thinking. Mostly).
The first Supernatural story that I wrote was something called
The Truth About the Tooth Fairy, which is, I believe, the only time I have ever written Dean topping Sam. Clearly I didn't have my characterization worked out yet. It was written as a birthday present for a dear friend and contained a line that I am still very proud of: When you spend your life chasing phantoms and boogymen, sucking your brother’s cock seems less fucked up than it probably should be.
Which really just sums it up, doesn’t it? All of my stories can be found
here. My favorites are probably … gosh. I’m immensely proud of this year’s Big Bang
Full Tilt Boogie, which was a collaboration with my sister,
essenceofmeanin.
The Miner’s Lamp has probably become my oeuvre and is probably the story/series I have gotten the most comments and recs for. For sheer perversity, I will always love
And the Midget Was the Baby Daddy.
I think that about … sums it up. Please ask any questions you like, nothing sacred, anything at all!
