It’s the start of the 2nd Quarter 2020 Inuyasha Fandom Awards!!

We hope everyone has been staying safe and healthy during this critical time in the world. A special shout-out to all of the emergency responders, medical personnel, and essential workers who not only tend to those critically ill, but also keep our world turning. We appreciate you all so, so much!

Before we get started, there have been a few changes that have been made during our brief hiatus. 

One major change is that @sssuperbartola​ is stepping down from being a moderator for this quarter. We hope that these next few months will be kind and rewarding for her, and we look forward to seeing her hopefully return in the future!

We also want to give a special shout-out to @britonell​ for being so amazing with creating the awards banners for last quarter. She is an absolute rockstar!

(If we have not sent you your award yet, please reach out to a moderator asap!)

There is also a change coming to our Roulette Category that may effect you as nominators. 

As mentioned in the past, we now have a “Roulette” category under Fanfiction. This means that each quarter, this particular category will change to ensure that all of the small categories still receive love, along with granting the ability to find new works to be appreciated. 

This quarter, this category will be Best Antagonist Portrayal. This category is defined as: Stories that have a developed antagonist with motive and ambition. This does not necessarily mean a “villain” of the story, but any one person who causes conflict for the story. A large part of the story must surround this antagonist and the “heroes” overcoming the conflict. Keep in mind that characterization must also be considered depending on who the antagonist is.

When nominating for this category, you must name the character in your nomination. 

 If it wasn’t mentioned above, chances are it hasn’t changed. You can read up on the most recent FAQ’s, Rules of Eligibility, and Categories for more information. 

The 2nd Quarter nomination period will begin April 1st until the end of the day April 15th. Please send your nominations through the submit button! If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to send in an ask or reach out to one of the mods!

Hello everyone! Megg here! As always, thanks so much for all the nominations you’ve submitted so far! We are certainly rolling along at full speed!

After a discussion between the members of our mod team, we’ve had to make a bit of a change regarding anonymous asks submitted to our inbox. 

Over the past week or so, we’ve been swarmed with a large amount of anon asks, much more than usual, and several of these asks have been one of three categories:

1. Questions concerning FC qualifications and/or rules, some of which require mods to ask follow-up questions, and thus could be explained much more easily via Tumblr PM’s or on our Feudal Connection Discord Server (which is open to anyone who wishes to join, and if you still wish your question to remain anonymous you can DM us there as well)

2. Short, repetitive statements (not questions) that leave us unsure how to even reply

3. Questions or concerns that, while valid and certainly worth our time to answer, are worded in a very impatient/demanding/entitled tone

All three of these are becoming an issue for us, but it is the third category that I would like to directly address for a moment.

Everything about Feudal Connection - the creation of the awards, the deciding of categories and rules, the management of both this blog and our Discord server, the nomination/winner banners, the voting system, ALL OF IT - is maintained by VOLUNTEERS. 

We are always trying to give answers and solve issues as quickly as we can, and we will always appreciate hearing your feedback. 

But please remember - we are a small group of very busy, very stressed human beings, scattered across literal continents, and we are doing the best we can. Rest assured that if we aren’t solving your problem instantaneously, we have added it to our list of things we need to tweak and fix (and trust me, that list is always LONG).

So to ease our collective minds, to keep our Tumblr ask box clearer so that submitted nominations aren’t delayed by getting lost in the flood, and to enable us to address participants’ legitimate inquiries...

WE WILL BE TURNING OFF ANONYMOUS ASKS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THIS QUARTER (AND PERHAPS EVEN AFTERWARD).

Please understand that this decision was not come to lightly, as we know that at least a small portion of you prefer to remain anonymous when asking questions. 

But, unfortunately, we’ve been getting one too many asks that are rude or spam-like, and we keep having to stop and address said asks, only to get a similar one (or two, three, four, etc) just minutes later. 

This is keeping our attention away from not only checking, logging, and posting nominations, but also our process of notifying FC nominees via other online platforms, our correspondence with the lovely volunteers who create our award/nomination banners, and our preparation for the upcoming voting phase this quarter. 

If you still wish to submit an ask on our Tumblr page and you would like your identity to remain anonymous, you can either PM a mod and have them answer you as soon as possible, or you can submit a logged-in ask and just request that we not reveal who you are. In the case of the latter, we will simply answer the ask as a text post.

We apologize to anyone who may be inconvenienced by this, but we collectively feel that this is the best way to handle this moving forward.

To the anonymous person who sent us a nomination for Best Drama, please resend it to our inbox signed in as yourself! We don’t want your nomination to go to waste, but as of right now, we can’t accept it! 

Our policy of accepting only signed-in nominations (as in, not anon) is part of our best efforts to keep these awards even and fair. It keeps people from nominating themselves (big no-no) or submitting multiple nominations in the same categories (also a no-no, but that’s why we’re here to remind and help you!)

Rest assured, you will remain anonymous to everyone outside our mod team. 

Also, please remember to check our submission guidelines so you will see what info you need to include in your nominations! There is a link to the submission guidelines on our page HERE, but for simplicity’s sake I’ll go ahead and paste them here as well!
