The Boring Bore

Hiya. Name's Rift. I like to write. Sometimes a lot.

[absoluterift]

Hi!! I absolutely love ur fic and it’s so amazing how much it feels like a sequel the show, seriously it’s incredibly creative and I LOVE ur ocs!! But I just wanted to let u know that the images on ur fic don’t show up and idk if it’s just a me issue but each image simply shows a “?”. So can I ask what the images are supposed to be?

Oh shoot, I was unaware of this. At least on my devices / browsers, the images show up normally. Which devices / browsers are you viewing the fic?

For the longest time, I was utilizing Imgur for hosting my fic's pics, but I learned very recently that using Imgur is not allowed on AO3, so I hastily made the switch to the recommended Squidge to host all of my fic's images before my fic got busted. It seems to be working fine on my end, so if you're not seeing images on the fic on AO3, please let me know what you're using so I can try to resolve this if possible.

Also thank you for the kind words on the story, I really appreciate it. Sorry for the late response, I am unused to getting messages on here, but I wholeheartedly welcome it.

I might've traumatized a fan favorite character in this one. And maybe myself just a lil. Be warned.

Gravity Falls: Once More - Chapter 64 - Mabel and the Beast (Part 3/3)

Episode Description: Mabel comes face-to-face with an unexpected new threat. Meanwhile, Melody’s parents come over for dinner at the Shack.

Good lord, this was a long one. Not kidding, this is either the first or second longest chapter of the whole fic now, right next to Part 3 of the literal Season One finale. I don't know how I do this. I really, genuinely do not try to write this much, and somehow I always do. Please send help.

I intended to have this one out by Halloween, and here were are in the first month of January. I hope anyone who enjoys reading a lot actually finds enjoyment in this, though I am prepared to not get comments for at least a month because who actually has time for a 30k word chapter (me, that's who)? Anyway, if you actually read this, I love you.

(end of kinda sorta but not really a rant ok goodbye enjoy the chapter)

It's content like this that keeps me feeling bright and warm inside during these dark, cold times.

New Gravity Falls: Once More chapter sometime later tonight after I proofread it. Apologies for the long wait for this one. Been bouncing between a few different projects this summer and fanfic took the backburner, kinda. But I think the chapter came out pretty well. Hopefully Part 3 of this episode doesn't take nearly as long.

More Stowaway AU

TW: Heavily implied Child Abuse

Stowaway AU where Pacifica becomes a stowaway on the Stan-O-War 2 after trying to run away from home to California. Things don’t exactly work out as planned, but at least she’s got a “Summer Internship” away from her parents now!

100,000 Views on Fanfiction.net

I started Gravity Falls: Once More on September 14, 2017 on Fanfiction.net. The site is obviously a kind of a barren shitshow now given its outdated design and how overun with scammers and bots its become, but I can't hate it considering all the memories I have with the site and how my discovery of it and all the stories I read on it as a kid impacted me.

Now, my one and only story has reached the big 100,000 in total views across the story. Most of my story's engagement comes from AO3 these days, but still, it's kinda neat to see this stat on FF.net after all this time, given it was where I started and all.

The site's stats show me that new chapters still do get a ton of visitors, so I know folks on there are still reading even if they aren't reviewing, and honestly, that's enough reason for me to continue updating there. I started the story there after all, even before I had an AO3 account, so I may as well keep it going on there until the end, whenever that is. We'll get there eventually, though. Hopefully, the site just stays alive enough by the time that day comes.

Anyway, I don't really know what this post is for. I rarely touch my Tumblr outside of posting story updates and I don't really have many active followers here, but I still wanted to share this somewhere as some type of celebration for this occasion, or even just a tribute to my time on a site that's well past its peak, but still holds a good place in my memories.

If by any chance someone on this site has touched my fic and on Fanfiction.net specifically, I guess, thank you for giving it a click.

hello...?

Hi. I never really post on here but I'm thinking of trying to be more active to talk more about Once More or share art and such since i never really get to talk about it outside of writing the actual fic.

is there anyone that follows me on here that would actually care about that stuff? Let me know (if you want i guess idk i barely know how to use this site)
