Head in the Clouds: A Shirakumo Oboro Zine

Head in the Clouds is an upcoming zine focused on Shirakumo Oboro and his life!

Meet the Mods!

Hoodie: Stuffed Mod (Graphics/Social Media Mod)

Hello, my name is Hoodie! I am an artist and graphic designer from Iowa. I currently study at the University of Iowa pursuing my Bachelor's degree. Projects that I’ve been working on include the ShinKami BigBang 2020 as an artist, as well as a merch artist in 1-B Girls Zine.

I started this project because I was so sad about the lack of merch and content for Oboro Shirakumo who is by far my favorite character in the My Hero Academia universe. I can’t wait to see this all come together and celebrate our precious cloud child!

If I were to have a quirk it would to be made of Rubber and be able to stretch long distances!

Starry: Writer Mod

Hey there! I'm Starry, a double major college undergrad that's pretty much constantly working on projects. I'm a mod for Zines such as Pro Hero Academia, Pride Ultra!, Lilies in Bloom, and I write for Force of Nature, Bakugou Rarepair, Ambiguity, PopRocks, and Hanami! I also moderate the KiriBaku Fantasy Bang and write for several others!

If I had a Quirk, it would probably deal with lack of sleep.

Abel: Formatting Mod

You can’t spell Jon Arbuckle without Abel.

Hello, I’m Abel!

I recently graduated college and now I’m focusing on artistic endeavors while working full time! You’ll know me from modding Recovery Zine and EraserMic Week 2019! Shirakumo is probably in my top three favorite of the three dumbigos ; )

One of my favorite parts of these projects is formatting, so I’m very excited to join!

If I had a quirk, my quirk would be understanding peoples’ emotions!

Jess: Shipping Mod

Hey, I'm Jess! I'm a fulltime freelance artist from the midwest. I've been involved in various zines & artbook projects in the past, but this is my first time being a mod, & my first time in a BNHA-related project! I'm very excited to be involved~

I very much love that Oboro has 1 braincell & that braincell says that he would fight for his friends.

If I were to have a quirk, it would involve doing a million different things at once. Super multi-tasker!

FAQ

Q: Will there be NSFW?
A: If interest shows that there is a desire for a NSFW work section, we will consider a PDF add-on for this. However, within this section there will be a requirement that Oboro is aged up and that the contributors that we select have a desire to make a piece for this add-on on top of their piece for the main zine.

Q: Will there be consideration for Mod Internships?
A: We are still on the fence if we would like to invite interns on the project. While on one hand we would love to be the gateway for someone to get into the zine community but as of right now we don’t have the resources to assist in helping an intern.

Q: Will this be available in all countries?
A: We would love for this zine to be available worldwide. However, we cannot promise this until we have hired on a moderator to handle shipment and production. We believe there will be a strong chance that this will be. We will keep you all informed on this matter.

Q: Will there be a beta reader provided for writers?
A: We have the lovely Starry as our Writing Mod who will oversee our writing contributors, giving them any assistance they need, including beta reading.

Q: Can ships be included?
A: Yes, ships can be included as long as Shirakumo is the main focus.

Q: Will we be allowed to draw Aizawa and/or Mic as well?
A: The inclusion of Aizawa and Yamada is allowed as long as Oboro is the main focus. These two are very important to Shirakumo’s character development and we would hate to leave them out.
