Wing Leaders
Previous Experience:
Set the Stage Zine (Writing & Beta Support)
Osamu Big Bang (SocMed & Organisation)
Tokyo Teams Exchange (Writing & Organisation)Binu has been dreaming about seeing our favourite characters interact with our favourite magical creatures: dragons. They’re such fantastic creatures --ones that have a very special place in her heart-- and the bond between them and their riders goes beyond just trust.
Previous Experience:
Passing the Torch Zine (Head, Organisation, SocMed Mod & Finance Assist)
From The Ashes Zine (Finance and Production Intern, Organisation and SocMed Assist)
GilgaZine (Finance Mod)
IwaOi Big Bang (Head, Orga, SocMed Mod)Charly Lee loves all things dragons: big dragons, tiny dragons, scaly dragons, fluffy dragons, it doesn’t matter. Wether they are old and wise or just sassy gremlins, dragons are always there for their riders. After all, these fleshy, fragile humans do make for great pets and even better gossip.
Previous Experience:
HQ Murder Mystery Zine (Layout & Formatting Mod)Ceela firmly believes that dragon and rider relationships are like having a cat: you don’t own them, since they’re 100% their own being who chooses to stay because they want to. Another thing they firmly believe is in the magic of How to Train Your Dragon, a very significant part of their childhood.
Previous Experience:
HQ x PJO Big Bang (Head, Art & SocMed Mod)Mika is thrilled to be part of this project and is even more excited to see all the pretty art pieces and fics people create! She believes that the only thing that slaps harder than the bond riders and dragons have (namely mutual trust and respect for their relationship) is the soundtrack from the How to Train Your Dragon movies.
Previous Experience:
Staycation Zine (Shipping Mod)
Flying High: A BnHA Bang (SocMed Mod)
Darkwish Guild: A BnHA Pro-Fiction Event Hub (Bilingual Mod)Renee can’t wait for all the beautiful, fantastical content from this zine. She’s a certified archery instructor (which would surely come in handy if she had her own dragon) and loves to see the trust and support that is necessary as dragons and their riders fly through the skies.
Graphics duties will be performed in a collaboration by all mods.
When it comes to our physical zine and merch, shipping will be handled by Mod Renee (NA and international orders) and Mod Charly (EU and international orders).
