Mod Team
Peten/Trey
Head Mod ;; hello i said "what if we (make a) gekka zine" to my friends and for some reason they said yes so this is a thing now anyway i liked rabbits and space and the color green before i even saw chikage i swear
Bee
Social Media Mod ;; my name is bee, i’m an august oshi. i’m a fan and hobby writer! i have two fics about august that are both over 13k, please don’t look at me.
Keith
Art Mod ;; A3EN's klown. Tax stan. SHADOWS 👂! this is also my first zine (modding/participating), please be gentle.
Quill
Art/Graphics Mod ;; I have three active braincells and they go to the Spring Troupe, Chigasaki siblings, and the gekkabros. This is my first time modding a zine, but I've been in five before, including the recent Spring Troupe one, so I'm looking forward to doing my best to help make this one a success!
Percy
Writing/Organization Mod ;; Summer Troupe oshi but I love everyone!! I also have the unfortunate (/lh) fate of sharing a birthday with Chikage, so I'm cursed to think about him forever (I love him, though). First time modding a zine, second time contributing!
Tapp
Cryptid Mod ;; Local idol stan who's most likely playing GBF, AK, or some other gatcha game fufu. While I'm not completely in the A3! fandom as of current, I still often dabble in and out for content, especially if it's about the gekkabros. Other than that, still a gekkagumi and fuyugumi stan, with my favourites being Tsumugi and Banri~ I'm here for extra help if it's ever needed, hope we can all have fun building this zine together ^^
Mikey/Floyd
Graphics Mod ;; Hello! I'm just here to provide support~ I think gekka's fun in the potential department though! I've previously co-modded two zines, one being the recent Bouquet of Spring: Spring Troupe zine, so Phases is my 3rd time modding a zine! The build-up to a zine release is always fun, so I hope y'all like this one.
