VIX ☆ WRITING MOD ☆ SHE/HERI am multilingual and happy to use that to your benefit. Fun fact, I have been in the Danganronpa fandom from the beginning. I am terribly awkward and shy- so most of my stuff is still behind psueds and anons. That said, working on a fan manga based on the world of the visual novel is bringing me back to my earlier fandom experiences. If you ask- you may find out that I have several buns named after characters. Generally, I am a big old nerd- so if you need anything at all- even a brainstorm buddy- hit me up anytime.Experience
Little of everything really, I am a Jill of hats for multiple fandoms and events. Zine wise is pretty dense- but I have contributed as a writer/artist/merch artist for several zines in my time. Random Mod Experience includes:
Enchanted: BNHA Fairytale Events (Writing and Head Mod), Through the Gate: Stargate SGU (Writing Mod), The Motley Crew - A BNHA Rockstar Zine (Art and Head Mod),
Lyrical Lyre (Writing Mod)
