Hey everyone!

The Term 2 Nomination period has come to a close, and we have some amazing stories and art that have been nominated!

Find all the nominations on our Google Doc.

Thank you to everyone who participated in this term for taking the time to do so. We hope you enjoyed your experience! If you have any feedback on the nomination form, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the mod-team!

As some of you may have noticed, the posting of nominations this term has taken longer than usual. The mod-team had some Real Life issues occur that impacted this term. Unfortunately, this means that a majority of the pieces that were rejected did not get a notification sent to the nominator due to time constraints. We apologize for this. If you do not see your nomination, please reach out to the mod-team to see why it wasn’t posted or to make sure that we received it.

We strongly encourage that when you view a work of art or read a fanfiction, please reblog or leave a comment to let the creators know how much their work and talent is appreciated!

As a reminder, we are giving 3 weeks time to enjoy all of the creations. The voting period will begin June 7 and end June 21st.

In order to be able to vote, you’ll need to register so we can keep it all neat and clean. We will be posting the link to the voting form on the first day of the voting session.

Got a question? Check out our FAQ or send us an ask. You can also message one of the mods directly!

It’s that time of the term!

The voting period is now in session! As mentioned earlier, we are utilizing a new method of voting. You’ll still need to sign into the form in order to vote, just like Google, and you will be allowed one vote per category. Please note: we will be recording email addresses and media platform names to preserve the integrity of the voting process! The email addresses and votes will NOT be shared with anyone; it is simply to prevent voting anomalies. Please let us know if you experience any issues!

One of the great features about this new form is that the choices of each question will be randomized per person. Fandom members in the past have expressed concern of the first option of each question being chosen more frequently simply so people can say they voted - this will no longer be an issue. We hope this helps make it a better experience for all!

The voting form will take you through all pieces up for voting as well as all the roulette categories - fanfiction, fanart, and romance. For each form, you will be asked to sign-in again. If you do not want to vote or contribute to any of the roulettes, you can either skip them by clicking the arrow at the bottom right of the page after logging in, or you can simply hit submit without choosing anything.

If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to send in an ask or reach out to a mod.

Remember, you have until the end of the day on June 21st to cast your votes, so don’t forget to finish up those fanfics and view all that fanart.

Happy voting!

Before Dawn

Night is darkest before dawn, but the shadows aren't so frightening when they have the guiding light within each other.

Welcome back to the third year of celebrating the rare pairs of Inuyasha!

Your own creations or your favorite recs—we'd love to see it!

Trick or Treat?

Chapter: 7/31 - Gambler's Fallacy Rating: M Fandom: Inuyasha & YuGiOh (Duel Monsters) Series: Part 2 of House of Cards

Summary: Kagome Higurashi wasn't expecting that the supernatural was done with her, especially after Battle City. She also wasn't expecting for monsters to start falling out of the sky, but at least that was familiar territory.

Seto Kaiba was expecting to finally work on Kaiba Land once Battle City concluded. He wasn't expecting Mokuba's eagerness to bring a new friend into the fold, or the cheeky shrine girl who clearly had more spunk than self preservation.
