This site has been around for years. But first let me tell you a little about it's background. You may find it interesting. Early 1998 I started writing Hanson Fan Fiction. (No, this site now has NOTHING to do with Hanson Fiction) I wrote it in notebooks during class, at home when I was supposed to be doing schoolwork, and during dinner. It became a serious hobby. I'd let some people read my stories. But only the select few. Those people enjoyed my writings and encouraged me to put it up on the Internet. Early 1999 I was finally convinced I'd do it. They were going on the web! Except... I knew nothing of HTML, and I definitely didn't know anything about graphics (still don't). Quickly I picked up a thing or too, and had lots of help along the way. This was the birth of "Bedtime Stories." Okay, so this site didn't do much. I had several of my stories on here. I got some feedback from the readers. But it wasn't like how I wanted it. I began concocting a new story. A story too closely related to my life. Still, I put it on the internet. And *BAM* the story hit it big. (Well, to me anyway! I was averaging 100-300 visitors a month before, and now all of a sudden it was 2,000-3,000 vistors.) The story's title? Left Alone. You may or may not remember it. Depending if you ever read Hanson Fiction. Anyway, back to the website. Left Alone was so popular that I took it too it's own page. (www.angelfire.com/de2/hitz) (no longer there) And it continued to grow. Eventually, I was asked to be hosted by threetears.com. OF COURSE I was going to take that offer! I couldn't refuse! Months past, and I started to lose interest in the story. It became almost a burden, and I felt forced to add to Left Alone. I'm rambling. So, meanwhile, Bedtime Stories was kind of abandoned. Until the craze of... what were those things called?? Oh yeah! Campaigns. Remember them? It seemed everyone and their moms had a Hanson Campaign. Don't cut the hair! Love the music! Hanson Family Privacy! Etc... Etc... Etc... Something ticked in my brain and I joined the already filled bandwagon. Only, my idea was even more stupid than the rest! Being that Bedtime Stories already was getting solid vistors, I thought "Wow! Lets make a Zac Campaign." (moron.) So, I did. It was something stupid called: Itz Irrelevent. Never heard of it? Don't worry. You're not missing anything. But the point of it was (well I think there was a point) to not judge Zac for his weight. Remember everyone saying he had "baby fat"? For some reason I decided I would make a club about Zac NOT being fat. Stop laughing and don't leave the page yet. You're almost through the torture. I promise. Well, Itz Irrelevent never really developed into more than I think 50 members? Who cares. The site was again abandoned. 2000 eventually came around. The year of the HANSON! They finally emerged from their cocoons and produced MUSIC! Bedtime Stories once again was a thought in my ever turning wheels of a brain. Only this time it wasn't going to be Hanson Fiction, it wasn't going to be Campaigns.... It was going to be a FAN PAGE. Gag. Like there aren't already 306,782,519+ fan pages out there. I dropped that idea quickly. And really, since 2000 this page hasn't done anything. Just kind of sat around... picked up a few stragglers that still had it linked in their "favorite places". Occasionally, I'd come and view it... Smile... Be momentarilly inspired to fix it up and add my old stories to it again. But nothing happened. 2002, the second 'Hanson Drought'. How depressing. No music. HUGE loss of a fan base (especially after Taylor's wedding!) (Which may or may not be a good thing... The lost fan base I mean! Fickle Fickle girls.) So, I decide to visit eBay.com. It's the work of the devil I tell you! You visit it, you are in a hooked... a never ending money pit! It drains you! Don't let it take your sole (and empty your bank account)! *Coughs* So, Bedtime Stories... Goodbye my love! You will be dearly and fondly remembered by many! Especially me! And for those of you who actually read all of this and/or are still looking for those once treasured stories (Bunny, Left Alone, And Then There Was One, Cast My Shadow & a billion more...) look closely... Do a little hunting... You may find what you're looking for ;) Sunset Drive Cruising... Happy Birthday! (October 17th, 2002) This site really isn't going to be advertised! It's mainly for me! And my Hanson collection. To keep things straight, and so I know what I own and what I have yet to collect. So, why you ask did I type that all above? Well... Someone's reading it, now aren't they? ;) And even if no one found this page, I know it still holds a special place in my heart. Feel free to click around! Make yourself comfortable! Email me to chat... To trade... To sell... To buy! Everything has the potential to be traded! Meaning, it's not technically all for trade, but given the right offer/trade, it's yours! You'll find: CDs, Records, Books, Shirts, Magazines, DVDs, VHS, Tapes, ETC!!! ENJOY! :) |
