Mod Soul [Head + Writing]
Mod Soul is an active member of the zine community and has been in over thirty zines over her years of contributing and modding. When the pandemic hit, she became fascinated with the Dream SMP, and quickly gained a soft spot for all of the women + c!tommy. Since then, she’s missed her fair number of streams, but her enthusiasm for her favorites hasn’t died down a bit. She’s very excited to bring this project to everyone and hopes to celebrate the women of the SMP in a big way!Mod Yato [Art Mod & Layout Intern]
Mod Yato is a newer member of the zine community, starting off with the Dream SMP Fanzine and branching out. He has/is contributing to 10+ fanzines (with 9 of them being as a moderator). They first came across Puffy and Niki and soon Niki became one of his most watched streamers! Xe is really looking forward to seeing this zine flourish and see the women of DSMP getting the recognition they deserve.Mod Fish [Graphics + Layout]
Mod Fish has been a part of the zine community for 3 years now and has experience in over 25 zines as an artist, merch artist or mod. He has been a fan of the Dream SMP since the exile arc and caught far too many late-night Puffy streams due to timezone shenanigans. Mod Fish is super keen to help share some representation for underappreciated creators within the community!Mod Cherry [Finance + Shipping Mod]
Mod Cherry is an active mod in the zine community, who has been actively participating in several zines. As an avid watcher of the DSMP, Mod Cherry was motivated to participate and create community projects to share their love for several creators! They are excited to once again be a part of another amazing project and can’t wait to show what’s in store for this zine!Mod Plus [Socmed + Art]
Mod Plus is quite new to the zine community but incredibly excited to be part of it nonetheless! She joined the DSMP fandom in December 2020 and has since grown to adore the c!Wilbur & c!Niki dynamic. He's beyond hyped to be part of the zine's making and shine some light on the women of the DSMP.
