Head Mod: Rika
She/Her | @rikafire | Ao3Hiya! I’m Rika! I’ve been a fan of One Piece since 2017 and my love for Usopp started with Water 7. I’m a fan of Usopp because he’s very relatable. Plus he’s such an underdog it’s hard not to cheer him on.My favorite Usopp moment is probably him sniping Sugar in Dressrosa.
Writing Mod: EvilGu
She/Her | @EvilGuu | Ao3I’m EvilGu and I’ve been writing (and, of course, reading) fanfiction for years. I’ve been a One Piece (and Usopp) fan since at least 2006, though I’ve only recently started becoming a part of the largest community online. I’m also an English teacher, so I think I’m pretty good at working with writers to help them create their best work.Usopp is just such a fun little guy! I love how relatable he is: 90% of his humor makes you think, “Yeah. That’s what I’d say, too.” It’s hard not to love him, especially during Thriller Bark. I think that’s my favorite Usopp arc; I love his fight with Perona.
Art Mod: Ollie
She/Her | @itsyourkitchen | TumblrHowdy Howdy! My names Ollie! I'm just a lil drawing gremlin who's here to have fun and enjoy some goofy pirate shenanigans.I was drawn to Usopp because he's one of the most human members of the Strawhats. He doesn't have a devil fruit or some super crazy ability right off the bat. He grows and becomes the amazing sniper we all know and love. He's kind hearted and still worries about everything while still pushing himself to do things he's afraid of. I just feel like he's someone a lot of people can relate to and I very much enjoy that. I can't wait to see how everyone captures Usopp in their own style!
Formatting Mod: Mack
He/They | @artisiie | WebsiteHeya everyone, the name's Mack!
Super excited to be here, our favorite sharpshooter needs some love <3On the side i've worked on 30+ zines so I like to think I know what I’m doing and I’m thrilled to count this into the list now!
See you in the zine~
Finance Mod: Lia
They/Them | @ArteopteryxArt | CarrdFull-time parent; part-time nerd. Lia is a seasoned finance mod and successful business owner. They like to spend their time crocheting, reading manga, playing life/farming sims, and dedicating too much time to Fate Grand/Order.While more of a Roronoa Zoro fan, Usopp holds a special place in their heart. Casual One Piece enjoyer who is unironically excited for the upcoming live action series.
Shipping Mod: Yowa
They/Them | @yowahoshihime | CarrdProud Chihuahua Apologist! I love to embroider and listen to history podcasts when not reading fanfic.One Piece has been a decade long favorite of mine which started my journey as a cosplayer and an active participation in fandom.
Graphics Mod: Jialu
They/He | @jialudrawsHello! I’m Jialu, I recently got into one piece the summer of last year and been loving the groups antics. Usopp is one of my favorite straw hats because of his humor and character humor. My favorite scenes of Usopp are when his friendship with Nami are shown.
