— Hans von Hozel
Hans von Hozel is one of many writers on FanFiction.Net, though his original account and fanfics are no longer on the website, having been removed by the site without explanation. Probably the most notable thing about Hans' collection of fics is that he had a fic for just about everything. Well, maybe not everything, but chances are if there's a huge fanbase (e.g. The Twilight Saga), there will be a fic for that sooner or later. Although, the plot might not have to do with the storyline at all...
