Sans Live Novels & Stories

There's a whole ecosystem for that sort of thing, but you have to know where to look. It depends on what flavor of reading you want; a polished, scripted performance or a more raw, live-chat-with-the-author vibe. Platforms like YouTube and Twitch are your starting points. A lot of authors will post prerecorded audio readings of their chapters, sometimes with music or sound effects, and call them 'live readings' even if they aren't streamed.

For truly live, interactive stuff, I've seen authors use Discord stages or Twitch streams to read new chapters aloud to their patrons or followers, taking requests for voices or pausing for reactions. It feels more like a community event. The real trick is finding authors who do this, because it's not super common. You'll have the best luck by following your favorite fanfic writers on social media and seeing if they ever announce something like a 'chapter launch party' on a voice channel.

I stumbled into one for a popular 'Undertale' ship fic last year, and it was surprisingly fun. The author was nervous but the chat was super supportive, and they did different voices for Sans and the other characters. It wasn't professional voice acting, but that made it charming. Since then, I keep an eye on the 'live' tags on Tumblr and the events sections in fandom-specific Discord servers.

Oh man, Sans live fanfic discussions are the best! Honestly, my method is pretty low-key but it's worked for my small Discord group for ages. We usually pick a theme first, like 'Underfell Sans' or 'Sans reacting to human memes,' and just vibe in a voice channel for an hour.

I think the key is not over-moderating. Let people jump in with snippets or just talk about headcanons. Sometimes we use a bot to paste lines from our favorite fics, but mostly it's just folks yelling 'WHAT IF' and building on each other's ideas. Keeps it from feeling like homework.

The real magic is when someone starts doing voices. We had this one guy who'd do a perfect Sans voice-crack for dramatic lines, and it always cracked everyone up. Just gotta make sure everyone feels welcome to ramble, even if it's a bit chaotic.

Ended up with some solid fic ideas from those chats, so I'd call it a win.

Sans live events? They’re less about formal panels and more about raw, unfiltered energy. I’ve been to a few comic cons and the 'Undertale' fan corners always have this electric vibe when someone mentions Sans. Someone starts humming 'Megalovania' and a dozen phones light up with fanart. The panels themselves can be hit or miss—sometimes it’s just a Q&A with a tired VA—but the real community building happens in the hallways and the fan-run meet-ups afterwards.

That’s where you overhear someone passionately explaining their AU headcanon to a complete stranger, or where a group decides to do an impromptu skit. Those moments generate immediate, shared references. People go home and write fic inspired by that hallway conversation, tagging it with #fromthecon, and suddenly there’s a tiny, hyper-specific wave of stories all referencing the same inside joke. It turns a massive, anonymous fandom into a series of smaller, recognizable circles.
