Hanfic is fanfiction written about the band Hanson. The term may have been coined by the author Meg D. as early as December 1997:
The HanFic Zone is, in actuality, a Hanson Fanfic (I combined the two and, well, you know). I've been working on it since December 1997, and I'm not even close to finishing it. But If you're interested, keep on going![1]
By mid to late 1998, the term hanfic appeared to be in common usage.[2] [3]
The term hanfiction also has been used, though it is much less common.[4] [5]
The first definition for hanfic on Urban Dictionary is:
