ABOUT
Always This Nice is a for profit, 18+ (NSFW) zine focused on Kuroo Tetsurou [Nekoma Grad, Sports Promoter with the Japanese Volleyball Association, erstwhile shady cat, now a shadier cat] and all the sexy fun he has.
The theme as it stands is canon/canon-adjacent, post-timeskip, with Kuroo keeping his role as sports promoter, but leaving everything else up to the creators discretion. This may change post-interest check. All characters are adults and all activities will be consensual.
The zine will be produced both physically and digitally, and will be rated R for explicit sexual content.

2. How many contributors do you have?
We have 10 writers, 20 zine artists, and 3 merch only artists, including guests. You can check them out on our Team page.
3. Are there any content restrictions?
Yes. We will not allow non-con, scat/piss play, and excessive gore/violence. All characters must be depicted as 18+, and content should be set post-time skip, either in the canon universe or a canon adjacent one. (This means characters can have different professions/roles and some canon elements can be modified, but it should still be identifiable as set in the Haikyuu universe).
4. How will contributors be compensated?
We will compensate all contributors with a full bundle + shipping + a share of the profits, if sales go well. If sales are less than satisfactory, we will ask contributors to pay for shipping only (We will bear part of the shipping costs for international contributors).
5. Where will the zine be shipping from?
This zine will be shipped from the USA.
6. I have a question that's not answered here, how do I contact you?
You can DM us on Twitter or send an ask via CuriousCat!

WRITERS
MODS
Airy 😽 Carrd
[Organization, Social media, Layout]
Airy is the organization mod for Please, Bokuto-San and Nice Receive, and has also contributed as layout and graphics mod for a few other zines. She likes to read smut, create smut, and enable others to create smut. She loves Kuroo a normal amount. The normalest amount. Yeah.
Ash 😽 Twitter
[Beta]
Ash is our friendly neighbourhood swamp monster. You might've spotted her on other projects (PBS zine as writer and Nice Receive zine as beta mod). You should know that she is probably currently surrounded by empty mugs, too many plants, and one little alien baby that is sometimes confused for a little white whale on the go. She loves Haikyuu!! almost as much as the people it brought into her life. She looks forward to working with you!
Steph (x_ Lazart _x) 😽 Twitter
[Finance, Shipping, Beta]
Steph is a lover of all things fluff and all things smut. She's participated in several zines, most recently in PBS and Sexbolt, a Denki NSFW zine. Two important things to know about her: she has 2 dumbass cats who are lucky they're cute, and she loves Bokuto a ridiculous amount (no really, it's quite ridiculous).
