Hello, my wonderful readers! I have a grand quest for you!

It would be the DREAM to have Alex Hirsch read this series (even just the first episode). In order for that to happen, I call upon you to spam his social media with recommendations and links, in hopes that he'll choose to check out this story.

I've been meaning to do this for years, but what better opportunity than coronavirus quarantine? So, let's do this! His Twitter is @_AlexHirsch and his Instagram is @_alexhirsch_ and you can either send him the link to GR on Wattpad (https://www.wattpad.com/story/62176307/gravity-rises-s1) or on Archive of Our Own (https://archiveofourown.org/works/7866937/chapters/20165056). There are advantages and disadvantages to both: The Wattpad version has my graphics made with Sorophora's art, but the Ao3 version has the episodes posted separately, rather than posting entire seasons in one book. The first is prettier but the second might be less intimidating :P

If y'all could send him those links with a short message about why he should give Gravity Rises a chance, that would be fantastic! I feel awkward doing it myself because that feels like another "please read my fanfiction senpai" message and those aren't professional, so........ I'm relying on you :P He'll have no choice but to read GR muahahaha

I honestly don't think of this series as a fanfiction anymore. (I even moved it out of the fanfiction genre into the fantasy genre.) It's more a paranormal fantasy inspired by Gravity Fall's plot and characters. The terms "fanfiction" or "alternate universe" will probably get ignored (I'm sure Alex gets a million annoying messages about fanfiction), so I think it'd be most effective if we framed this as "this is a cool thing you should read that was inspired by you" and not "read this Gravity Falls fanfiction pls" :P I even feel like I have my own fandom at this point (though it's mostly made up of GF fans, so I'm definitely piggy-backing off of Alex's fandom, but there are non-GF fans who read my stuff). I've been so blessed these last four years to have people who read my stuff, so thank you for reading and commenting and supporting this!

Fly, my pretties, be free, and spam Alex Hirsch with story recommendations!!
