As millions of teenager girls prepare themselves for tonight’s US and world premiere of One Direction: This Is Us, we investigate the fear and the fandom of the world’s most devoted Directioners in this cover story<\/a> from the archives.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"1dtogether\"<\/p>\n

Originally published in the Obsession Issue, the Nov\/Dec 2012 issue of <\/em>Wonderland.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne, together known as One Direction<\/a>, are currently among the most adored individuals on the planet. Despite their astonishing global success (and many millions in the bank), they’re keen to hold on to their own normality. But the same can’t be said for their wildly imaginative, obsessive and transgressive fanbase. Or can it? <\/em>Wonderland investigates…<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cZayn tastes like beer and chips and Liam drops the bag, effectively spilling the garbage he\u2019d thrown in earlier, to cup Zayn\u2019s jaw. He doesn\u2019t know if it\u2019s because he needs Zayn to be closer, or if he just needs something to hold onto. From the way Liam\u2019s body is reacting, he thinks it might be both. For two blissful heartbeats, they kiss, and nothing \u2013 nothing \u2013 Liam has ever experienced can compare to this.\u201d<\/p>\n

Girls, boys, tabloid journalists, don\u2019t get too excited. The above is not what happened when Wonderland met One Direction \u2013 you know, the biggest boy band on the planet right now. It\u2019s the work of a 17-year-old American girl who goes under the handle of \u201cMindless Dreamer\u201d on Onedirectionfanfiction.com<\/em>. At the time of writing, this site hosts around 30,000 stories (over 200,000,000 words in total) featuring Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Liam Payne, the ex-X Factor pop idols who have become the show\u2019s most astonishing success story. Mindless Dreamer is a finalist in four out of fifteen categories in the site\u2019s inaugural best-of awards (best Louis, best Liam, best slash, best alternate universe), the winners of which should have been announced by the time you read this. She has about four long fanfics on the go, one of which, Drunk Texting (a story about Tomlinson accidentally texting a stranger\u2019s phone whose number is similar to Styles\u2019), is over 50,000 words long \u2013 and counting. Another, set in a different reality from our own, is about what happens when Malik, working with Tomlinson as an assistant to \u2013 wait for it \u2013 the grim reaper, is asked to collect the soul of Liam Payne on Earth. Seriously. In her bio she says: \u201cI used to be a normal person. Then I started liking One Direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

A lot of \u201cnormal\u201d people like One Direction. Yet, they do an awful lot of abnormal things. Recent press coverage of the boys, who according to a biography of Simon Cowell released this year, are now worth more than \u00a3100 million collectively, has been peppered with tales of how the band\u2019s fans take to Twitter to issue death threats to their girlfriends, how they make up scurrilous rumours and rail bitterly at fans of other acts, viciously hounding any that would detract from their idols. As the boys\u2019 fame continues to skyrocket (largely because, this February, they did the impossible and broke America, becoming the first UK act ever to debut at no. 1 in the Billboard album charts) the niche activities of their fans are making news of their own. At the beginning of October, the world was turned on to the burgeoning One Direction fan fiction community when 16-year- old Emily Baker had bagged herself a book deal by posting One Direction fanfic Loving the Band<\/em> on web-publishing site movellas.com<\/em>. But even this story only really scratched the surface of a fascinating, international online community that has its own laws, its own logic. Of course, illogical, mass-obsession about a bunch of cute guys who sing romantic songs is hardly new. But the buzz around One Direction marks something of a turning point in the history of pop culture. Suddenly, thanks to Twitter, Tumblr and all the internet\u2019s other self-aggrandising personal broadcasting platforms, the obsessive imaginings of millions of lustful teenagers are being played out in a very public forum. Anyone is welcome to stare into the eyes of the madness.<\/p>\n

\"harry1d\"<\/p>\n

Given that they are surrounded by such a level of hysteria, it\u2019s a little surprising that, in person, the members of One Direction are so very normal. It\u2019s actually quite disarming \u2013 each is so much like any regular teenage boy that our interview feels a little bit like hanging out in a sixth form common room. Malik and Horan flick through a copy of Teen Now, sniggering at a cheesy poster of rival boy band The Wanted. \u201cI like to kiss this sort of thing,\u201d says Tomlinson, sarcastically, \u201cI think they look sick in it, don\u2019t you?\u201d Malik joins in, pointing: \u201cYeah he looks proper good there.\u201d In-jokes fly around the room, causing Payne to chuckle between sentences as he answers questions. Horan fiddles with his phone a lot, and sings little snatches of Chris Brown songs. Styles is attentive but seems a little bit tired.<\/p>\n

Actually, they all seem exhausted, like puppies post-kibble. \u201cThey\u2019ve been long days these past three weeks,\u201d says Payne, adding that they rarely finish doing interviews, photoshoots or recording sessions before 9pm. Of course, they try to actually live their lives too: \u201cIf you finish late, by the time you go home you can\u2019t fall asleep, not \u2018til one or two in the morning,\u201d says Horan. (His nocturnal routine became apparent this September when he and Justin Bieber had a late night noodle sesh after the VMAs). Payne, who shortly after our interview, was reported to be going on dates with Leona Lewis, reckons he gets about five hours shut-eye a night. So does Styles, the ladies\u2019 man of the group (but you can\u2019t help suspecting that it\u2019s rather less than that). Asked what they would do if they had any time off right now, they all reply, \u201csleep\u201d.<\/p>\n

Clearly a little weary of doing interviews, One Direction often get distracted and veer off-topic \u2013 one quasi-fruitful digression reveals their favourite club move is \u201cthe cardigan dance\u201d \u2013 best executed, when \u201chammered,\u201d by grabbing the lapels of your cardigan and pulling them about in time to the music. Sometimes it takes them a while to get to the point because they\u2019re busy ribbing each other. Tomlinson farts about halfway through the session \u2013 all laugh.<\/p>\n

\"niall1d\"<\/p>\n

This is not the kind of behaviour that\u2019s particularly conducive to a good interview. But then again, it\u2019s all part of the unashamed, run-of- the-mill adolescent schtick that has made them great. It\u2019s got a market value \u2013 and the boys know it. When asked to what they attribute their massive success, Payne hits the nail on the head: \u201cI think for us, the main thing is that we\u2019ve just kind of been ourselves, that\u2019s what people like. I think a lot of people get into [our] situation and you hear they\u2019ve changed, but we\u2018ve just stayed ourselves.\u201d Tomlinson agrees \u2013 he stresses that it\u2019s important to them that they don\u2019t dance, or all dress in matching outfits. \u201cIn the past, with previous boy bands, I think they felt like they had to meet a stereotype,\u201d he says. \u201cWe\u2019re just ourselves: stupid, immature and quirky.\u201d (Meanwhile, as if to prove his point, Malik and Horan playfight on the other side of the room).<\/p>\n

One Direction\u2019s untrammelled boy-next- door-ish-ness is obviously one reason they\u2019ve got so massive, why the obsessive fans find it so easy to identify with and fantasise about them. But another force in their favour has been Twitter. \u201cI think [it\u2019s] definitely helped us in terms of getting abroad \u2013 spread the word between people and their friends in foreign countries,\u201d says Styles. Of course, it\u2019s also changed the game for One Direction in another way, allowing the band\u2019s followers (between six and seven million each) to have \u2013 or rather, perceive themselves as having \u2013 exclusive, instant and personal access to the boys. \u201cBack when we were lads there were certain celebrities that we\u2019d wanna get in touch with,\u201d says Payne, reasonably. (True to public perception, he\u2019s the most mature and Dad-like of the group.) \u201cThat\u2019s why Twitter\u2019s so useful,\u201d he continues. \u201cIt\u2019s nice that fans can get 135 close to us and ask us questions and stuff.\u201d As a reward for the attention and loyalty, the boys often tweet back at their followers. How, when there are so many? \u201cI just do it really randomly,\u201d says Payne. \u201cI dip my finger in and just kind of pick one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, One Direction\u2019s Twitter following has not always been as \u201cnice\u201d as they might like: this summer, it began to seem like the fruits of the global obsession with the band were finally beginning to get to them. In August, Malik temporarily deleted his Twitter account, so enraged was he at comments (concerning his relationship with girlfriend, Perrie Edwards) posted by trolls on the social networking site. A month later, Louis Tomlinson lost his cool when his mother was abused by out-of-control fans on Twitter. \u201cCan I ask why this is ok?\u201d he tweeted, \u201cTo think someone would speak to my Mum like that sickens me. Grow the fuck up!\u201d Shortly afterwards, Payne split up with his girlfriend, who, apparently, had been troubled by the negative comments she was receiving on social media as a result of being in the relationship.<\/p>\n

Does it bother them \u2013 the fact that what seemed like the perfect marketing tool for One Direction has actually backfired a little bit? Surprisingly, only a little. \u201cTwitter sometimes becomes a place for people to give opinions on stuff which, sometimes, you don\u2019t really need,\u201d says Payne. Tomlinson chips in: \u201cSometimes you want to say \u2018Have you quite finished?\u2019\u201d At the same time, he maintains, no amount of backchat will make him be too self-conscious about what he puts out there via social media. \u201cYou have to be completely yourself,\u201d he says, reinforcing the band\u2019s WYSIWYG stance. \u201cIf the papers are going to write something about it, at least you\u2019re being who you are,\u201d he says. The boys show a similar stubbornness when I suggest, perhaps, if they were a little less public about their girlfriends (boybands like Take That, for example, were always encouraged by management to be perennially single in public), then maybe their partners would not have to endure so much attention. \u201cThat\u2019s shit,\u201d says Louis. \u201cThat means you don\u2019t lead a life that\u2019s real. You wouldn\u2019t be able to go out anywhere publicly with your girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"louis1d\"<\/p>\n

When One Direction do go out in public, they, naturally, get mobbed. They\u2019re obviously very bored of talking about crazy things their fans have done (a couple of days after our interview, theyinfactgetinabitofbotheronaNew Zealand radio show by including this in a list of 12 topics they would rather not be asked about), but they feed me a couple of good stories. There\u2019s the legion of bare breasts that assailed their car on a recent trip Sweden. There\u2019s fans who took Tomlinson\u2019s hat, others who nearly pulled Payne\u2019s hands off, another lot who, when he lost a shoe, bought it back off the tramp who picked it up, and gave it back to him. Alongside the fans, there\u2019s the paparazzi, but they don\u2019t seem to mind that. \u201cWe kind of get on with them,\u201d says Styles. \u201cIf you just be nice to them, they\u2019re really nice to you,\u201d says Horan.<\/p>\n

I ask them if they read the mind-boggling stuff written about them online. Malik says he tries not to. Tomlinson gets a bit agitated again: \u201cSome people just literally make up stuff that\u2019s not true. When do you just sit there and think \u2018You know what, I\u2019m going to make up a really horrible rumour.\u2019\u201d Payne is drily understated about the fan fiction and the blogs: \u201cSome of those are quite naughty. Quite graphic.\u201d He\u2019s not lying. Among the innumerable One Direction blogs out there, most of which are hosted on accessible microblogging site Tumblr, many simply collect animated GIFs of the boys looking especially cute, but a sizeable amount are also about catching them out in what looks like rampant homoerotic flirting.<\/p>\n

The idea of them all getting it on with each other has almost universal traction among fans, with a slew of blogs devoted exclusively to coverage of hypothetical One Direction pairings (not to mention many, many \u201cslash\u201d or boy-on-boy erotic stories). \u201cLarry Stylinson\u201d, the descriptor for the imaginary relationship between Tomlinson and Styles (which Tomlinson has vigorously denied in the press, claiming that such talk has damaged his relationship both with his girlfriend, Eleanor Calder and Styles himself) is the most popular topic. However, every permutation \u2013 whether it\u2019s Lilo, Zarry, Larry, Niam, Ziall, Nouis, Narry, Zouis or Ziam \u2013 has its own niche following.<\/p>\n

A lot of the blogs are aggressively sexy: the description on DedicatedToZiam.tumblr. com reads \u201cBasically just two teenage girls releasing their One Direction sexual frustration and impatiently waiting for the Ziam sex tape.\u201d Another Tumblr, Shower of Cunts (a reference to a derogatory remark Horan made to some fans in July at Dublin Airport), opens with: \u201cI just want to fuck the shit out of Harry Styles and Niall Horan… :)) That\u2019s pretty much what this blog is about.\u201d On the same site, a section collects images of the band that have been overlaid with animated images of stick figures performing sex acts on the boys (each one is labelled with an arrow and the caption \u201cME\u201d).<\/p>\n

\"liam1d\"<\/p>\n

Other blogs can just seem plain odd to outsiders, in particular, those that focus on romantic, literary creations. On these, bloggers write short \u201cships\u201d (in which they pair a fan with a member of the band, detailing why they get on and what their favourite song is), or \u201cimagines\u201d (more extended colour pieces envisaging fantasy situations), and their readers send in requests to be featured in specific scenarios. Some requests are straightforward, such as \u201cmy first date with Niall\u201d. Others are bizarre \u2013 on theWonderfulWorldofUs.tumblr. com there\u2019s a short story about Horan helping his (imaginary) wife through a traumatic miscarriage.<\/p>\n

What motivates this strange behaviour? I manage to get in touch with a couple of the girls who run these sites, and of course, like the boys, they seem pretty normal too. Harsharan Malinao, the Virginia- based 18-year-old who operates \u201cShower of Cunts\u201d is blas\u00e9 about her purple prose. I ask her what she\u2019d think if One Direction actually had a look at her blog. \u201cOh man, haha, I\u2019d be a bit embarrassed,\u201d she writes. \u201cI try not to put anything too weird on there. It doesn\u2019t really matter though because it\u2019s all just for fun haha.\u201d Does she think it\u2019s OK to objectify these boys? \u201cI don\u2019t try to objectify them,\u201d she replies. \u201cAnd if someone ever did accuse me of aggressively objectifying them I wouldn\u2019t really know what to say besides \u2018I\u2019m Sorry.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Seventeen-year-old Canadian Blogging duo KandM, who take requests for ships and imagines on \u201cThe Wonderful World of Us\u201d, are more philosophical. Why do they think people ask them to write these stories? \u201cBecause they want to feel included in the boys\u2019 lives in some way. Through requesting things like ships and imagines, it brings you a little closer to the boys because you are a character in the same story as them.\u201d I have to bring up the story about the miscarriage \u2013 it\u2019s pretty gruesome. Isn\u2019t this supposed to be about wish fulfilment? \u201cI guess the whole reason why we chose to write that one was because people need to know that life is not all perfect and it doesn\u2019t always go the way we want it to go,\u201d they say, speaking as one via email.<\/p>\n

Every fan I write to is united on one front, that One Direction\u2019s unique appeal is their approachability. \u201cThere\u2019s a feeling when you watch the boys that makes them feel like your friends,\u201d says Alice Crosbie, an Australian fan. \u201cThey\u2019re relatable and they don\u2019t act like they\u2019re untouchable.\u201d Malinao agrees: \u201cI really like how they seem so genuine and they\u2019re just weird and funny.\u201d I ask the boys if they, in turn, feel close to their fans. \u201cDefinitely, yeah,\u201d says Styles. \u201cThere\u2019s fans that have been coming to see us since the first week on X Factor that we still know now. It\u2019s nice seeing them on a first-name basis and having a chat with them.\u201d In their experience, what do the fans want from them? \u201cA [Twitter] follow,\u201d says Styles. \u201cI think they just want to be noticed,\u201d adds Tomlinson. Payne remarks \u201cI think there\u2019s a bit of competition between all the fans as well…\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to get absorbed in the weird and wonderful world of One Direction\u2019s obsessive fanbase and forget that what they\u2019re famous for, ostensibly, is music. Their new album, Take Me Home, is out early November, and, judging from the success of lead single \u201cLive While We\u2019re Young,\u201d is going to be huge. They recorded the record in \u201cthree weeks\u201d (according to Styles, \u201ca month\u201d according to Payne), and say the intense experience made sure the album is all killer, no filler. \u201cThere were tracks that we thought \u2018oh it might be ok, it might be really bad,\u2019\u201d says Styles. \u201cBut because we didn\u2019t have time we could just focus on the songs that worked. Now, looking at the album as a line-up, we\u2019re really happy with every song.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the album is released they\u2019re going on tour for most of 2013. This pretty much derails the question \u201cWhere do you want to be in a year\u2019s time,\u201d so I try for 10. \u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d says Styles. \u201cIf someone had asked us two years ago, I don\u2019t think we\u2019d have imagined we\u2019d be doing this now.\u201d Does the adulation vary from country to country? \u201cTo be honest it\u2019s surprising how similar the fans are in different places,\u201d says Styles. \u201cYou\u2019d expect there to be a bit more of a change. [They\u2019re] really supportive, everywhere and they\u2019ve been amazing everywhere we\u2019ve been.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"zayn1d\"<\/p>\n

Having sifted through the blogs, the fiction, the \u201cbullshit\u201d trolling, the counter-bullshit (there\u2019s a Tumblr group called \u201cDirectioners Against Bullshit,\u201d which Malinao is a member of), it\u2019s not exactly clear how much the fans care about the reality of the boys, what they\u2019re actually like. Instead, images of these gleeful, shiny-eyed individuals have become a platform for a global, unadulterated fantasy that, as it gets more and more extreme, gets more and more fascinating. Given that the boys swear all they want to do is present themselves as honestly as possible, is there a sense that some fans have missed the point? \u201cI think there\u2019s a lot of things that the fans don\u2019t know about us,\u201d says Payne. \u201cI think our relationship doesn\u2019t really play out as much as people think. People still ask whether we really get on or not, and we genuinely do. A lot of people don\u2019t believe that, they think it\u2019s some fake thing where we have to get on because of the position we\u2019re in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, the most surprising thing is how little One Direction are bothered by the extent to which their images and personalities have been manipulated, reappropriated and dissected by their fanbase. But then again, they\u2019re part of a generation for which all this kind of life- as-brand activity is thoroughly normal. In fact, let\u2019s be honest, it wasn\u2019t so long ago that they were X Factor-watching superfans themselves. \u201cIf I was a fan and found out that I\u2019d been lied to the whole time… it would be like, \u2018how do you believe anything they say?\u2019,\u201d says Payne, justifying the carefree way in which the group live very public private lives. \u201cWe\u2019ve always, from the start, wanted to show the fans us, as people,\u201d says Styles. Presumably, there will come a point where they\u2019ll have to be a bit more careful, a bit more afraid. But, then again, it doesn\u2019t look like that\u2019s going to happen any time soon.<\/p>\n
