Head Mod:
Ze/Zyr ★ He/HimHi, My name is Arill! I'm an artist and the creator of this zine. It started as just a silly idea, a small project, but seeing all the support I couldn't be more grateful for, it has come to be a fantastic project to work on
Writing Mod:
He/HimHi! I’m Wally, and I can’t believe I didn’t play AA until last year! I’ve been a mod on several other zines, and I’m super excited to get my hands on an AA project as fun as this one. As for the games, I’m a huge fan of the first three (Xbox remaster my beloved <3) but I absolutely adore Apollo’s vibes in 4
Graphics & Formatting Mod:
He/Him ★ It/Its ★ Kit/Kits ★ They/ThemHey! I’m Kit or Kitsch & I’m a current graphic design major & illustrator with a lawyer game hyperfixation. If you've seen my content before it will be very obvious but my favorite game is AA4! Also currently working on Mea Culpa
★ Fame, Magic, and Music ★ will be a free, open-submission zine focusing on the celebrities of the Ace Attorney universe.
What would a celebrity magazine look like in Japanifornia? This project strives to answer that!

Q: What format will the zine be in?
A: This zine will be a free, digital-only, PDF, and our mod team will be taking measures to make it fully accessible to consumers.
[Graphics/Formatting Mod Note: I am a disabled graphic design major so I have done extra studies to make sure my designs can be as accessible as possible. If there is a feature you believe could be adjusted for accessibility, let me know directly!]★Q: Who can participate in this zine?
A: This is a PG-13, open submission zine, so anyone who creates art on theme for the zine can submit! However, we will not be accepting submissions by creators that create offensive content (homophobic, transphobic, racist, ableist, etc.). We also request creators who have created incestuous or adult/minor age gap content not apply. We will not be answering any questions related to this decision.★Q: Are AUs & OCs allowed in this zine?
A: This zine focuses on canonical celebrity characters within the Ace Attorney universe. OCs will only be allowed as additional characters within the context of preexisting characters without designs (such as Gavinners OCs, considering only Klavier and Daryan have canonical designs. We know there are more members though!)★Q: Does [character who works only in legal matters] count as a celebrity?
A: While certain characters within the legal world are allowed. They need to also have some notoriety that would give them celebrity status, such as Nahyuta or Klavier, who would also be known outside of legal circles. If you have questions relating to who counts, check the info doc for more information, or contact the head mod!★Q: What can I do to help?
A: For now, the best way to help is by commenting on the info doc, filling out the interest check, and spreading the word! If you have experience with zines, you can send a DM as we are still collecting a full moderation team.★Q: What about DGS characters?
A: First of all, yes, Herlock absolutely counts. With the rest of the DGS characters, just check the info doc for guidelines, and be creative on how to include them!★Q: Do mods need experience?
A: Technically no, but you’ll be far more likely to be chosen if you do have moderation experience. We request some zine, or equivalent experience, for the moderation team.
