Q. Is there an age requirement for contributors?
A. All of our contributors are 16+!
Q. Will other characters be included?
A. Other characters may be depicted in artworks/writing in a friendly/platonic display (no romance or ships), as the zine would like to put a focus on K1-B0.
Q. Is this zine physical or digital?
A. Both! We're excited to say that we've recieved enough support and requests for a physical zine as well as digital.
Q. Is this project for profit or non-profit?
A. Currently, the project is non-profit; however, as long as the remaining funds for the zine allow, contributors can and should be compensated.
Q. Will you be looking for any specific art styles?
A. Not specifically! Give us the best you've got -- in the end, we'd like to have a wide variety/range of styles.
Q. How many contributors will you be accepting?
A. We'd like to accept around 25 page artists, as well as 5 writers and 5 merch artists.
Q. How many pages are you aiming to have in the zine?
A. Overall, we are aiming to have 40-50 pages for the zine; this could change depending on the pitches of our contributors.
Q. What's your time zone?
A. Both of the head mods are currently in EDT (GMT-4)!
QUI (Co-Head Mod)
What's your favorite thing about K1-B0?
What really drew me to him was how persistent he was to fit in with everyone, not in a persistent way but more of an "I will show you that I am just like you all!!" On top of that, I love that he's just very silly with his little talents and features that he tries to show off.
Hello! This is my first time as a head moderator for a fan project/ zine, but I am super excited to learn about this process with the team! I have graduated from a graphic design and digital media program-- both of which are a constant part of my work offline. Currently, I work as a project manager at a print and production company, having amazing opportunities to help clients bring their books and products come to life. This line of work has provided opportunities to be exposed to the creation of numerous print materials alike from start to finish. Along with the job I have learned how to manage social media, online marketing, and administrative work for online stores and shopping portals. My favorite part of the job happens to be graphic design/ product layout/ set up and seeing the final product published online and/or printed in hands— I am looking forward to the same with this zine too!
Aside from this zine, I have had the pleasure of participating as a two-page artist for a private zine project for the Mystic Messenger community. Collaborating with writers to develop and create a piece was truly fulfilling and an amazing experience.
CROW (Co-Head Mod)
What's your favorite thing about K1-B0?
I think my favorite thing about Kiibo is the way he’s so silly/quirky but still manages to be such an emotionally charged and heroic character.
As my first time as a head mod for a fan project/zine, I am very excited to use what I know and apply my skills to expand my horizons!
As a recent graduate from an art and design school, I’ve had the chance to manage and curate gallery events from content selection, judgement, and review, as well as deciding optimal space layout, placement, and management. My favorite part of this process is getting to know each of the contributors and building a better and collaborative team!
Branching from this I have also gained a number of management skills — I’ve also handmade my own artbooks and process books for thesis work! I’m most excited to apply this to the planning and execution of the zine — as well as the possible finishing options it presents. Aside from this zine, I am currently participating in the @izuruzine and @dr_academyzine as a page artist, and co-hosting @gifoundfamily week with some very amazing friends of mine!
I’m looking forward to meeting more NDRV3 (and of course, Kiibo!) fans through this project.
CD (Finance Mod)
What's your favorite thing about K1-B0?
Look at the little antenna on his head it’s so cute 🥺
Hi there! I’m CD, and I’m super hyped to work on this zine! I have over five years of experience as an accountant, and because I helped out with my parent’s restaurant for most of my high school career, this has equipped me with the organization, stock taking, and research skills for this role! I’m looking forward to seeing Kiibo having fun and being himself, because ultimately (haha get it like-), that’s what drew me to him!
After Danganronpa ended, I’ve been playing games like Your Turn to Die to put me through the devastation Danganronpa did. I also like to play rhythm games, and Project Sekai is my favorite one so far!
LEXXI (Writing Mod)
What's your favorite thing about K1-B0?
I love Kiibo because he embraces who he is and believes in himself! He is determined to show his friends that he's the same as they are, and I think he's incredibly thoughtful. He does his best to look out for his friends and will do anything it takes to push hope forward! This is really inspiring and admirable to me.
Hello! Hi, hi! My name is Lexxi and I'm very excited to be working with such a fantastic, talented team for the beloved Kiibo! I have graduated from college with my Bachelor's degree in English, have an Associates Degree in Creative Writing and have been writing as long as I can remember! Professionally I've worked on honing my writing skills for the past seven to eight years over the two colleges I attended, and I'm versed in writing a range of things from short stories to screenplays! I've also done my own independent research project for an internship that will eventually be implemented at a local historical site which is pretty cool, I think! As far as things I'm into, my interest span over a broad range: currently I'm into Danganronpa, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure and Demon Slayer to name a few! Outside of the Kiibo zone, I am a writing moderator and contributor for @EnoshimaInsider! There are so many things I'm looking forward to, like meeting many other Kiibo fans and talented DR content creators!
