As always, us mods here at FeudalConnection want to give a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the Fourth Quarter 2021 Inuyasha Fandom Awards!! Your participation and support for this fandom is simply amazing! Please note, all voters must provide a valid email address; nonexistent emails cannot be accepted or included in the final tally. We implemented this measure to preserve the integrity of the voting following a series of voting anomalies and thank you for your cooperation.
As a reminder, for this quarter we evolved the winners into First, Second, and Third place awards. We are allowing ties for first place winners, rather than go into a run off period!
- For categories which received up to five nominations, First and Second place banners will be awarded to the winners.
- For categories which received up to seven nominations, First, Second, and Third place banners will be awarded to the winners.
And now, without further delay, here we are!

Congratulations to all the winners! Your awards are ready, so please send one of the mods your preferred email address so we can send them to you!
Please note, the winner ban only applies to the first place winner(s) in each division; second and third place winners will be eligible to be nominated again in the next quarter.
As this quarter comes to a close, FeudalConnection will be taking a short hiatus. This time is always spent reviewing the process and seeing what can be revamped for the next quarter.
Don’t forget, The 12 Days of SessKag Smutmas, hosted by @orderofthepoisonarrow, takes place Dec 1st - 12th, and the @inuyasharedraw blog is always open!
We will officially be back in full swing starting January 1st! We will still be around in case you have questions or concerns, but please take this time to read new fanfiction and find new fanart. We strongly encourage everyone to nominate different writers and artists for the next quarter, so to spread the love of this fandom around.
As the day gets closer to the start of the first quarter of 2022, we will be keeping everyone in the loop when it comes to changes and updates. Please continue to stay safe during these ever-changing times and we hope you have a splendid holiday season! Thank you all again for making this such a wonderful experience! See you soon!
