mods
Mod Sherms (Tumblr: @my-soul-sings)
Head mod
Sherms played Animal Crossing: New Horizons for the first time at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, and quickly fell in love with the escape that the game offered her despite having to stay at home. She's very excited for this project to come to life, and hopes that she'll get to connect with more players in the community who love the game as well.
Zine experience: Sherms was previously the head mod for Choi Prank Zine, MM fairy tale zine and Vanderwood zine. She also assisted in other zines as editor (Ace Attorney Speakeasy zine, Across Oceans zine).
Mod Gretyl
Graphic designer & Graphics mod
Gretyl has been playing Animal Crossing since ACWW. She spends her village time fishing, writing long-winded letters, and emptying her pockets onto the ground. She is delighted to be here working her design magic and connecting with fellow Animal Crossing fans.
Zine experience: Gretyl provided graphic design / layout work for the Choi Prank Zine and Mystic Messenger Fairy Tale Zine.
Mod Ailis (Tumblr: @spacechip707)
Social media mod
Ailis entered her Animal Crossing obsession early in life with the AC Wild World on the Nintendo DS. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, that obsession re-emerged with AC New Horizons resulting in hours of gameplay, a Nook-themed Switch Skin, and hundreds of saved pins on Pinterest for island ideas she has yet to try. She’s excited for this project and is thrilled to connect with others in the AC community to produce such a wholesome, cozy zine.
Zine experience: Previously a mod for Choi Prank Zine and MM Fairytale Zine.
Mod Noct
Shipping mod
Noct has been with Animal Crossing as a wee lass from the very first Gamecube game. It was one of the first games that her mother played/enjoyed with her, and she has kept up with every new release. It's been a bonding experience with her entire family and it holds such a special place in her heart. She is extremely excited to help this dream become a reality!

Mod Tulip (Tumblr/IG: @fishnobi)
Graphics mod
Tulip started playing Animal Crossing to combat boredom when the pandemic kicked him out of work. Since then, he has restarted his island three times, became the self-proclaimed CEO of Tom Nook hate club, and stole his boyfriend’s switch to play on two islands at the same time. He also got a new job that is so boring that he plays Animal Crossing: New Horizons on company time (for legal reasons that’s a joke). He’s very happy to be on the team, and will provide crappy doodles with every new graphic.
Zine experience: SK8 Through the Seasons Zine, SK8 AU Zine, + others in progress
