Favorite AKB48 members: Rena Matsui, Jurina Matsui, Yuko Oshima, Minami Takahashi, Yuki Kashiwagi, Mayu Watanabe
Favorite AKB48 SKE48 pairing: WMatsui
Favorite fanfic writers: screechingsoul, mynotsorandomshiz, Kawaiidolworld...
A story involving my favorite pairing and with well-developed characters and a good/interesting plot - along with good grammar/syntax - will catch my attention. I enjoy action, adventure, thriller, science-fiction, but romance is also essential for me to enjoy a fanfic. If there's no or very little romance in a fanfic, I'll probably pass very fast. Not a fan of very angsty stuff.
Favorite fanfics: There are so many! 99% of the time, I read fanfics with WMatsui at the center of the story. I also can on some occasions read CenNezu/BlackGeki and JuriMayu/YukiRena, but my heart beats truly and solely for WMatsui. As a result, my researches revolve mainly around fanfics about WMatsui. I tried reading multipairing fanfics (including my favorite pairing), but I realized I never manage to get invested in them, probably because I have unfortunately little interest in the other pairings mentioned...
I love pretty much everything screechingsoul and mynotsorandomshiz write, but I can list a few fanfics that I really love: Violin Strings, My sister and her lover, Rest Day, Moving Closer, I hate her, Amnesia, Just missed my stop, Just know that I love you, A thin line, My kind of love... so many!
Do you write fanfics? Yes! Heartbeat + Partners, and Warriors. It's my first time writing fanfics. Before that, I only wrote original stories in French.
How did you get into AKB48/fanfics? I knew about AKB48 for years now, around the time they came to France for their Japan Expo concert, but I didn't listen to their music at the time. I only got interested in their music around July 2014, when I stumbled upon the videoclip of Kataomoi Finally by SKE48 on a blog. That's when I really got into AKB/SKE and WMatsui. I started reading fanfics about my favorite pairing not so long after that, and - although I read many good OS and short fanfics - got frustrated by the lack of WMatsui long multi-chaptered fanfics. That's why I decided to write the Heartbeat trilogy.

Favorite AKB48 SKE48 pairing: WMatsui > This still hasn't changed
What can I say? In general, I'm a loyal shipper. I never get bored of my ship, and even less switch to another pairing. Once I like a ship (and this nevermind the origin of the fandom: music, anime, TV show etc), I'll stick to it forever.
Favorite fanfic writers:
screechingsoul,
mynotsorandomshiz,
Kawaiidolworld... > Sadly, most of those writers don't write anymore... Since then, I haven't discovered any new WMatsui fanfics writers that really caught my interest (or they haven't written enough fics yet to enter into the category of my favorites writers).
What do I look for in a fanfic? A story centering my favorite pairing and with well-developed characters and a good/interesting plot ( along with good grammar/syntax) will catch my attention. I enjoy many themes: historical, action, adventure, thriller, science-fiction, but romance is also essential for me to enjoy a fanfic. If there's no or very little romance in a fanfic, I'll probably lose interest very fast. I also have a higher preference for long, multichaptered fanfics. Give me a 200 pages completed fanfic to read, and I'll be the happiest girl alive.
On the other hand, I'm not a fan of stories with too much angst. I will also tend to skip highschool/college/vampire/magic fanfics. Unfortunately, those are themes I'm not really interested in.

I'm a very difficult and picky reader, so please don't be offended if I didn't mention your fic.
Do you write fanfics? Yes! The
Heartbeat trilogy (
Heartbeat +
Partners +
Destiny). Two other multichaptered fanfics:
Warriors and
Back in Time. And finally, an OS called
Her Sun. Before
Heartbeat, I had never written any fanfics for this fandom or any other fandom. However, writing is one of my passions, and I have been writing original fictions in French for more than ten years now.
How did you get into AKB48?I knew about AKB48 since 2009 (around the time they came to France for their Japan Expo concert), but I had no interest in idols at the time. I got interested in their music much more later, around July 2014, when I stumbled by chance upon the SKE48 videoclip of
Kataomoi Finally on some blog related to Japanese culture. That's when I really discovered/listened to their music, and fell in love with SKE48 and WMatsui.
How did you get into fanfics?Before that, I already enjoyed reading fanfics about other fandoms, so it's naturally that I looked for fanfics on my favorite pairing. Even though I had the chance to read many good OS and short fanfics, I got a little frustrated by the limited number of fanfics (in comparison with other larger fandoms), as well as the lack of WMatsui long multi-chaptered fanfics. That's why I decided to write the
Heartbeat trilogy.
