★★★ HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY! ★★★
It’s that special time of year, folks–time for our annual TAU ficathon! But, what’s this… we’re turning 10 this year? That’s a milestone if I’ve ever heard one!
To celebrate, we’re going to offer a couple extras this year… we’ve got contests, raffles, and prizes! Here’s a quick peek at what’s going down this eventful birthday of ours:
Fanfic contest (with prizes!)
Fanart contest (with prizes!)
Three raffles!
Alcor charm preorder!
Here’s what the schedule is going to look like:
October 5th: Fanfic and fanart contests open! Alcor charm pre-orders open!
November 2nd: Alcor charm pre-order close + payment deadline
December 14th: Contest submissions close
December 21st: Contest winners and raffle winners announcements
Click the read more to see all the details of these events!
★ Fanfic contest ★
→ Submit your fic to the fanfic contest here! ←
This time, you can submit your ficathon fic into a contest for some fun prizes!
The winner will receive:
An Alcor charm (free including shipping)
Their fic featured in the “Introduction to TAU” page soon to be unveiled
Art for their fic, drawn by TAU creator Zillychu
Bragging rights!
Unlike the usual ficathon though, there is a theme all contestants will need to follow.
☆☆☆ The theme for this contest is: Introduction to TAU! ☆☆☆
This means your fic can be read by anyone who has no prior knowledge of TAU, or even Gravity Falls! It also means you need to give the reader a taste of what TAU is all about – this includes:
Something that explains the Transcendence (or at least shows the reader that the supernatural is now commonplace – this can be achieved anywhere from a single sentence, to a major plot point)
Alcor’s general predicament of being a human-turned-immortal-demon (could be in conversation, or in the general narrative. Does not need to go into detail on the events that lead up to this, but it can!)
At least one familiar or common theme abundant in this AU, which includes but isn’t limited to:
Family (however it’s defined), friendship, and platonic love
Finding joy amidst grief, hope despite loss
Demonology and eldritch terrors
Supernatural politics and how they fit into the mundane
The existential horror of being a human turned semi-omnipotent immortal demon who must fight the demonic desire for chaos vs. the human desire to pack bond with everything!
A wonderful example of this includes Mod K’s series Bentley & Friends! The story plants you in the center of the TAU world through the eyes of a character named Bentley, and slowly unveils the setting through his perspective. Bentley himself is familiar with a post-Transcendence world and Alcor’s reputation, but only comes to learn the truth about him and Mizar through ensuing shenanigans.
Another example would be MaryPSue’s Return, Rewind, Rewrite, which starts with an emotional demon summoning, and follows characters who find they're more closely linked to the Transcendence than they expected. Remember: Showcasing the story of TAU through narratives and character interactions is always better than simply giving the reader a summary!
Please note that there is no word minimum. Longer fics will generally leave a better impression on the mods, but quality will always trump quantity.
Here’s a list of all the prerequisites for your fic when entering the fanfic contest:
Only one entry per person
Adheres to the contest theme
Only new work created after this announcement post (or within a month if tagged as anniversary content) will be accepted!
Is rated G to M (no explicit sexual content please!)
No word minimum
Is submitted via the Google form by December 14th
OCs are welcome, so long as the theme is met and the story is easily distinguished as TAU-related
If you end up winning the contest, we will reach out to you for your name and address so we can send you your charm!
If you win the contest and you elect not to receive a charm, we will award the free charm to the runner-up.
★ Fanart contest ★
→ Submit your art to the fanart contest here! ←
Not much of a writer, but still want to join in the festivities? Perhaps you’d like to write and do a little something extra?
Here’s a list of all the prerequisites for entering the fanart contest:
Only one entry per person
ANY art (that isn’t fanfic) is accepted! Illustration, mixed media, animations, emojis, music… if you create it, you can enter it!
Only new work created after this announcement post (or within a month if tagged as anniversary content) will be accepted!
No explicit sexual content
Is submitted via the Google form by December 14th
OCs are welcome, so long as it’s easily distinguished as TAU-related
★ Raffles ★
→ Click here to enter the TAU fan appreciation raffle! ←
While the mods of the TAU blog will be picking winning contest entries, we’d like everyone participating to have a chance to win a free charm, as well as fans who have created fan content in the past!
There will be a total of 3 raffles:
If you enter the fanfic contest, you will be automatically entered in the fanfic raffle!
If you enter the fanart contest, you will be automatically entered in the fanart raffle!
Yes, that means if you enter both the fanfic and fanart contest, you will be entered twice! If you apply to the TAU fan appreciation raffle, you'll be entered three times!
The TAU fan appreciation raffle is open to everyone who has created at least one piece of fan content in the past! You will need to enter this raffle manually, and share a link to something you created in the past (must be something with a timestamp, like a blog post or AO3 link).
☆☆☆ If you pre-order a charm and end up winning a raffle, we will refund you on Paypal for the full amount.
☆☆☆ Only one charm will be awarded per person. If you win one raffle, you cannot win in the others.
★ Alcor charm pre-orders ★
→ Click here to pre-order your Alcor charm! ←
Want to ensure you still get a charm whether or not you win a contest or raffle? Go ahead and pre-order yours!
Price: $15
(includes shipping inside USA, additional shipping fees for international)
Note that since this is something Zilly wants to do in appreciation for the TAU community, the price listed is purely production price. This will cover the cost of the charm, and shipping. If you live outside the USA, we will calculate your shipping separately and disclose this in the Paypal invoice. If the price exceeds your expectations, you are welcome to refuse/cancel the invoice.
Your invoice must be paid by November 2nd! (We need to know how many charms to order!)
The charms will be sent in early January – We will do the contest winners and raffles first, so if you pre-order and then win one of the contests or raffles, your invoice will be canceled and you will be sent a charm at no cost.
Here’s what you need to do to preorder an Alcor charm:
Fill out the following Google form (You will need to share your Paypal email! Make sure your name and address in your Paypal is correct, as we will be using that to ship your charm)
Wait for us to send you an invoice in Paypal
Complete payment of your Paypal invoice by November 2nd
Estimated delivery date will be January 2025!
★ And now... the true stars of our AU ★
That's everything for this year's celebration! But now, if you'll let me get a little emotional... I'd like to thank the heart and soul of the Transcendence AU:
You.
To all the fans of TAU, new and old. To everyone who spent years active in the fandom, to everyone who even briefly enjoyed TAU content in passing. To everyone who created fanfic and fanart, to those who created music and animated MAPs, to those who organized events and meet-ups, to everyone who reblogged and liked posts made by the TAU blog or any of TAU's wonderful fans.
Thank you. You created this AU. You created something more than an idea. You created a community. Without you, none of this would have been possible.
From the bottom of my little rat heart, I love you all. From all the mods of the TAU blog, we thank you! Here's to another ten wonderful years!

Welcome to the Transcendence AU! This is a Gravity Falls AU that diverges from canon sometime in Season 2. The main premise is twofold: 1) what if Bill died in Dipper’s Mindscape and it permanently transformed Dipper into a demon himself? And 2) what if this caused the “weirdness bubble” around Gravity Falls to pop, making magic and weirdness commonplace around the world? It is a story filled with a lot of hardship and sadness, but also a lot of love, friendship, and found family.
Some helpful links:
The original post by Mod Z that spawned the AU
A quick primer by Mod F that goes over the basics and links to some fics
A more in-depth summary of important events
Character bios
Our wiki (please use this instead of the Wikia/FANDOM wiki!)
Other than that, you can traverse the #art, #hc, and #fic tags to find a huge assortment of content. We hope you will enjoy your time here!

Rini told me about her coven AU and I think it actually fits the GF lore + witch hats look adorable on them!! Basically, Dipper and Mabel are the only magic practitioners in their family. They get shipped out to their Grunkle Stan up in Gravity Falls, who’s their closest relative who can help them better their skills. Dipper in Divination, Mabel in Charms, and Stan in Enchantment. something like that haha we’re still working it out.
