Jessi (he/they)

Head & Finance/Formatting & Graphics ModHi there, I’m Jessi! I’ve been a writer for the Attack on Titan community for about five years now and have been a fan of the Beatles since I was 13 years old. I’ve participated in two digital and one physical zine in the AoT community, twice as a mod and once as a participant. I'm also currently head-modding a Squid Games Zine that will go on sale in the fall. Outside of zine-work, I also run my own small business on Etsy, along with hosting several fandom events within the AoT community. I look forward to creating an amazing zine with talented people!

Maili (she/her)

Art & Merch ModHi! I'm Maili, a self-taught and freelance artist since I was 13 years old. I like colorful things so all of my drawings are like that. When I'm not drawing, I'm listening to music and also work on my career of tourism and hospitality.
I love dogs and everything related to the Beatles and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. I cannot draw without music at all, because it works like fuel. I hope one day I can work fully as an artist and just focus my life on art.

Bee (They/Them)

Writing Mod
Hi, I'm Bee. I've been writing since I was a wee elementary school student getting their Spyro fan fiction taken away during class. I currently write for the My Hero Academia fandom.
I have served as a moderator for the UA Writer's project and am a beta reader mod on the Saddle Up zine. I also beta read for a lot of projects.
Growing up, my dad listened to The Beatles and his taste of music has stuck with me. My wife and I picked “Here, There and Everywhere” as our first dance song for our wedding.
