Name/AKB: skylarkdragonstar
Age: 22
Location: Alabama, USA
Gender: F
Favorite AKB48 members: I don't care if she's graduated or not, but my one and only kami-oshi is Akimoto Sayaka.
Following them is Sae and Yuko. (I just LUV the Shinyuu Trio) I also like pretty much lots of the senbatsu members and non-senbatsu members, especially those that make me laugh. I also like tons of other graduated members like Acchan and Mariko-sama. My favorite team is definitely Team K, though I am always a fan of the Old Team K, with its 2nd gen members. But I guess in the end I'm a DD.
Favorite AKB48 pairing: SaeYaka(Twin Towers) for sure! For fun I also like seeing Sayaka with other members in real life because she is so loved and always a good reliable friend to all. I also enjoy the popular pairings like KojiYuu, MaYuki, WMatsui(does that count?), Atsumina, etc.
Favorite fanfic writers: I don't have a particular favorite, but the fanfics I've read and enjoyed so far are by Ruka Kikuchi, kuma-san and...Choshi I believe?

Do you write fanfics?: Yes I do in fact. Currently I have an account on fanfiction and have been writing for Bleach and Prince of Tennis. However lately I'm suffering from a long writer's block.
When I do write start posting fanfics here, note that I love and mostly write fanfics that are parodies from movies, tv shows, or other stuff I watch. I suck when it comes to creating something original.
How did you get into AKB48/fanfics?: Ah where do I begin?
It's a long story but I'm willing to tell you. Brace yourselves...*takes deep breath
How I got into AKB...
Well it actually all started all the way back in 2010, i think, when I, already a fan of J-Pop and Japanese drama/movies, was watching an old drama called Tadashii Ouji no Tsukurikata. The reason why was because the drama had a favorite male actor I liked and followed in its cast(only a minor role though), as well as several other familiar actors I've seen before. That was how I saw a young Akimoto Sayaka for the first time. But that was back when I had no idea of AKB or how awesome Sayaka is. My only thought about her was that the character she played in that drama was rather interesting as she played a supporting character, a sport loving level headed girl, she kinda reminds me of me. Never did I expect that this athletic manly kind of girl was actually in an idol group. But little did I know however that that girl was going to make a huge impact to me a few years later...
Later in 2012, I learned of AKB48's existence when I watched Hana Kimi Remake just out of curiosity. That was when I saw Maeda Atsuko for the first time, disguised and pretending to be a boy. But what got my attention was the catchy theme song of the drama, Flying Get. The song became stuck in my head since I heard it playing in each beginning and ending of an episode that I searched for the full version on youtube and watched an AKB48 PV for the first time. I surprised to see Acchan herself in the same group that sang the theme for her drama and also at the fact that there are so many girls in one music video.
Some time after that I discovered that AKB had done a drama that casted themselves called Majisuka Gakuen. The plot was interesting to me, a high school filled with gangster like, tough badmouthing girls and the surprising thing is that those girls are actually cute sweet idols in real life. Since I've watched Acchan's performance in Hana Kimi I was interested to see her character in this drama. Right since episode 1 I was impressed with the characters, the plot and setting and continued watching it. Before reaching episode 5 however, as I was browsing through tumblr one day, I came upon a surprising discovery. I saw a post of gifs of Sayaka from Tadashii Ouji no Tsukurikata and noticed at the bottom, there was a tag labeled 'AKB48'. And at that moment I went, "Eh? Hold on...she's a member of AKB too?".
Totally surprised, I looked up online, checked the Flying Get PV one more time, and sure enough, confirmed that Akimoto Sayaka is an AKB member.
Now even more interested, I eagerly watched through each episode of Majisuka Gakuen, hoping to find and see the character Sayaka plays in that drama and finally watched episode 5, the debut of Choukoku.
It gave me another surprise later on when I eventually found out that Sae was in fact the one who played as one of Sayaka's friends from Tadashii Ouji no Tsukurikata, who I had seen back in 2010 yet had no knowledge of the fact that she's a member of AKB as well. And it further surprised when I found out that she and Sayaka are known to be close best friends in real life. I remember the first time I watched episode 3 of Majisuka Gakuen, when Gakuran appeared, I was like "Oh cool...A girl that looks so much like a guy". And after becoming a fan of AKB and finding out about the Twin Towers I went "No way! Sayaka and that tomboy from MG? Pretty interesting..." Since then, after seeing photos, video moments and listening to radio moments with them, I've become a fan of the Twin Towers.
Totally amazed and interested by Sayaka and Majisuka Gakuen, I further looked up more about AKB. Soon I heard about AKBingo and immediately after episode 1, I became hooked onto them and soon watched more shows with them and downloaded tons of their songs. You have a huge idol group with girls that have different personalities, members that are very hilarious, members with amazing characteristics and of course great singing. And after finding out more about Sayaka and saw how awesome and great and well respected member she is and how despite her appearance and personality she becomes a new unique type of idol, I made her my favorite member. Even after her graduation I still continue to follow and support her.
It made me sad though when I found out so many members have already graduated at that time since after the 2012 Tokyo Dome Concert, including Acchan, the face of AKB (much to my shock), and members who have transferred to different groups like Sae(I was totally depressed knowing that the Twin Towers was separated).
Oh but how painful it was to me when then came Sayaka's graduation announcement last year...and then watching her graduation concert in Tokyo Dome...and then the theater graduation...
As for how I got into fanfics...
I've been writing fanfics since I was in 6th grade, though I never posted a single one or showed them in public before. I love writing about stuff from my favorite tv and anime shows. One day I curiously wanted to see some AKB fanfics and searched for SaeYaka fanfics and before you know it, I ended up here.
And that's all about me.
I'm new to this kind of website and forum stuff so pardon me if my posts look boring and plain and that I have no avatar image or other attracting stuff. I'm not really skilled in decorating online stuff and I have no idea what to use for my user image.
I hope to get along with everyone!
