Hello hello ! I'm happy to unveil the Gorillaz Dynamic Swap Au Archive !

For months now I have been tracking down everything that Can be found about the dynaswap au (from digging through dozens of old blogs, to scraping archive dot org, to tracking down people who were around at the time of the au!)

and from there I have spent weeks making this archive !

This intent of this is project has been to take everything that I've found and put it Back Together into a cohesive digestible story !

to that end, I've decided to split this guild into multiple eras !

Phase 0 [Link] Phase 1 [Link] Phase 2 (and onwards) [Link] and Extras [Link]

what Is dynaswap? I have a guide going over just that here [Link]

I also have a full guide to The Gorillaz, the original band dynaswap is an au of ! [Link]

If you would prefer, I also have All of the links organized in one google doc here [Link]

Likewise, I have a google drive for the au, where I have organized everything Roughly into phases [Link]

And another drive that presents everything in the order that it was released (which is a bit harder to navigate, as many things were posted out of order) [Link]

I also have tags specifically for fanart ! sometimes these tags may overlap with official content (art that wasn't created by the main creators for dynaswap, but are nevertheless an official part of the au), but there's a ton of art that's very much worth seeing ! [Link]

Disclaimer: Please do not bother anyone who was involved with creating the au. They have asked not to be associated with it anymore and we should all respect that.

Repost of some drawings I did of @hongkongaton-studios AU! I think my old post glitched out and wouldn’t show up anywhere RIP. Hope that doesn’t happen this time!!
