(Sans x Reader) When Two Souls Meet

WTSM Official One-Shot and Fanart Contest

Before you guys ask, no, there's not a new chapter. I won't be making that for a while. (AP work is brutal. Let me tell you...) However, this announcement is REALLY important, so please read it through to the end, okay? This may interest a lot of you writers out there. (Remember last chapter when I said that I'd have an important announcement? Well, this is that announcement.)

WTSM (When Two Souls Meet) will be going on hiatus for a while. Now, before you all freak out and go: "WHAT?! NO! BUT... BUT I LOVE THIS STORY! YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE A BREAK! AAAAAAHHHH!" I will tell you that it's a TEMPORARY hiatus, and it won't go into effect right away. Once I'm done with my next AP assignment, I'll make sure to give you one more chapter before this goes into effect. And, while this story will be on hiatus, that doesn't mean that ZanaTale as a whole will just stop.

"What? Zana, what do you mean?" you may ask.

Well, as some of you may know, this story also has a sister story: --it talks about the origins of the skelebros, and their connection to Gaster. While WTSM is on hiatus, I'm going to be turning my full attention to MGE. Actually, that's the whole reason for taking a break from WTSM--I need to finish MGE before I can move the plot of WTSM forward. You see, Gaster's going to be making an entrance soon, and Reader-chan is going to be given a journal (MGE is that journal) and will then know everything that's contained in MGE. The two fanfics are going to collide, and that can't happen if MGE isn't completed.

However, do not panic! You will still get your weekly/every other weekly dose of Sans fluff! Because I'm putting WTSM on hiatus, I thought that I'd start work on something else--something that also directly ties into it, but can also be read separately. Namely... a one-shot collection! You see, following the next chapter, there's going to be a massive time skip--nearly a month will go by before the next plot important chapter. So, instead of just saying "one month later..." I thought that I'd give you a better idea of what happened within that month (especially since Sans and Reader-chan haven't really had a chance to cement their new relationship). So, I'll be writing 5-6 shorter, Sans x Reader based dating-scenario kind of chapters. Originally, I was going to put those into WTSM... but seeing as it's getting insanely long, I thought that I'd make another fanfic in order to spread it out a little bit. These extra chapters will focus on the daily shenanigans of the budding relationship of Sans and Reader-chan, and will give you those fangirling feels that we all crave so much. Basically, WTSM isn't going to go on hiatus at all--it's just going to be exported into a second sister fanfic.

So... that's all well and good. However, 6 chapters... doesn't really sound like a complete fanfic. So, then I thought... "Hey. What if I asked you guys to help me out with this?" And then... the idea for the WTSM official one-shot and fanart contest was born. I'm asking all of you, my devoted readers, to help me fill in that month timeskip in WTSM. You all know the characters. You know the plot. And you know what you want to happen between Sans and Reader-chan. So, I want you to write about it! Create a one-shot using my characters and ideas, and then send it to me. Then, I'll choose my favorites out of the group I'm sent, edit them a little, and include them in my one-shot booklet, along with my own chapters. You guys will have the opportunity to have your ideas and writing officially included in ZanaTale. If you're interested, read on! You don't have to have a Quotev, Wattpad, or A03 account to participate. The rules and guidelines are below.

If writing's not really your thing, I'm also holding a fanart contest. It can be anything. In fact, I don't even have any rules for it. Just draw whatever your heart desires (nothing explicit, please), and send it to me at my email address (see below). Your drawings will be paired randomly with a one-shot, and included as it's chapter image. (Don't worry, I'm make sure to mention that the contents of the one-shot, and the contents of the fanart don't have any correlation.) Oh, and you can do both contests! Feel free to send in a one-shot, too, or vice-versa.
