The Mods
BLUE
ORGANIZATION / BETAABOUT
Hi! Mod blue here. I've been on the zine scene for a couple years, first as a contributor and now also as a mod. Past projects include A Formal Affair and Crimson Ties, and I also co-organized NSFW Kacchako Week 2019 with mod Cal. I love BNHA, and I love to travel, so I'm really excited to see the adventures our favorite characters will go on!DREAM VACATION DESTINATION
I'd love to just spend a month in Japan, hiking mountains and getting lost in the cities.
CALAMANSI
GRAPHICS / FORMATTINGABOUT
I’m Mod Cal and I’m a writer and designer from Los Angeles. My experience includes modding multiple zines and fan events, most recently BNHA Formalwear Zine, Brat: Botttom Bakugou Zine, IceBreaker: Tododeku Pro Hero Zine, and But You Stayed: Todobakutodo Wedding Zine, as well as contributed as a writer to 10+ zines. It’s been a recent dream of mine to work on a travel themed zine, so I’m really looking forward to seeing this project come to fruition!DREAM VACATION DESTINATION
I'd love to spend a few weeks hopping around Southeast Asia eating street food, taking tons of photos, and painting the scenery along the way. (It's definitely gonna happen one day!)
KALEY
FINANCES / SHIPPINGABOUT
Hi, I’m Mod Kaley! I've been a fan of My Hero Academia for several years now, but I just recently joined the fandom space. It's been an amazing experience. I've previously moderated Apples and Unicorns: an Eri Zine and Brat: a Bottom Bakugou Zine, and I've been a contributor for several others. I'm incredibly excited to be working on a travel-themed zine because the world of BNHA has such amazing potential—and boy do these characters need a break!DREAM VACATION DESTINATION
I've always been a huge fan of Grecoroman mythologies, so a tour of the Mediterranean sounds absolutely magical to me.
