Get Ready!

It’s the start of the 2nd Term of the 2026 Inuyasha Fandom Awards!

We hope everyone is having a great year! A huge shout-out to everyone who participated last term and made it such a huge success! We look forward to all of the amazing new fanfiction and fanart to be shared with this beautiful community.

WE ARE ANNOUNCING SOME CHANGES TO THE AWARDS -- PLEASE NOTE!!!

Starting Term 2:

Each creator is now able to have 2 Fanfiction AND 2 Fanart nominations for their works, if they are both an author and an artist. This will allow for their writing and art to be recognized equally for the gifts they give to the fandom.

Best Angst will now be Best Angst/Tragedy, and Best Dark will now be Best Dark/Horror. This will provide some more definition to each category.

The General roulette category is being replaced with a rotation of seasonal categories. These are three categories that will be rotated through each term for a total of 9 seasonal categories each year. You will no longer need to vote for the general roulette category. However, we are including the general roulette categories that won last term into this term's seasonal categories.

Voting for the romance roulette will be changing.  You will only be voting for one part of the pairing.  As an example, if Sango won, you could nominate stories with MirSan, KogSan, SessSan, KagSan, InuSan, etc. This will allow you to nominate your favorite pairings for the selected character for the awards and not be limited to just one set pairing. Please be aware that InuKag cannot be nominated into this roulette category.

As a final reminder detailed in this post, there was a big change last year for how to submit your nominations. We are no longer taking nominations submitted through our ask or submission boxes.

To submit your Fanfiction Nominations, please click here.

To submit your Fanart Nominations, please click here.

You will need to sign into Google, just like with the voting forms. If you have any questions or concerns about this format, or if you have any positive or constructive feedback about it, please let us know!

The Fanfiction and Fanart Roulette Categories for Term 2 that received the most votes are below.

The Fanfiction Roulette Category for this term is Best World Building. This is defined as: Stories that have developed an in-depth world with detailed depictions of its inhabitants, culture, geography, history, and/or other environmental factors that bring the universe to life.

The Fanart Roulette Category for this term is Best Line Artwork. This is defined as: An uncolored illustration that consists of distinct straight lines or curves that represents a 2D or 3D picture.

The Romance Roulette pairing for Fanfiction and Fanart is Best SessSan Romance.

For Fanfiction, this is defined as: Stories that have developed a believable romance between Sesshomaru and Sango. “Believable” is subjective, and it is up to those nominating/voting to draw their own line on that quantifier and vote their “Best”. This includes canon universe and AU/AR settings.

For Fanart, this is defined as: Any romantic depiction of Sesshomaru and Sango.

Remember, all other romantic pairings besides InuKag & SessSan can be nominated into the Best Romance category.

If it wasn’t mentioned above, chances are it hasn’t changed. Please be aware that the moderators always consider suggestions regarding how the awards are run and how the categories are modified, and each new term may bring about new changes.

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!

DON'T JUST STAND THERE, GO VOTE!

The voting period is now in session but it closes TODAY! 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 - as well as if you are a fandom artist and would like to contribute your work to be utilized in future FC banners.

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 or fandom banners, 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 today, June 21st to cast your votes, so don’t forget to finish up those fanfics and view all that fanart.
