Introduction
Hello geeks, weirdos, and explorers! Welcome to the Mystery Crew AU blog! My name is Matsurra, and I created this au on my main blog @maki-matsurra!
How It Started
I am a huge fan of Gravity Falls. From the writing to the characters, to the art style. It was truly an amazing show that deserves so much love and attention. I joined the fandom a little late, but nevertheless, enjoyed every episode I binged.
I'm also a huge fan of the stop-motion Laika movies! I got to see Coraline in 3D when it was first in theaters (yes, the movie did give me nightmares), and I just really loved it too! The aesthetic of the movie and the story and characters as well were top-notch! Paranorman is a movie I know not many people may know about, but it's still such a good movie and should be checked out! When I watched that movie, there were so many scenes where I was just bawling my eyes out in sadness or just on the edge of my seat.
Now, as a fanfiction writer, I love to try and combine fandoms to make crazy new fanfics, sometimes taking inspiration from fan art or just fan edit videos. This AU actually came to me when listening to Follow the Sun while sitting outside. I wondered; "What would a universe be like if Coraline, Paranoman, and Gravity Falls were in the same one?" And then well... Ta-da! It came to be!
I posted the first chapter of the first book for the AU on May 1st, 2022 on Tumblr, then on AO3 on July 29th, 2022, titling it The Button Key. And the fanfic is still being worked on to this day.
