Congratulations to all the winners! Your awards are ready, so please send one of the mods or this blog your preferred email address so we can send them to you! If you have not received it within one week, please reach out to a mod <3

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 term.

As this term 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 next term.

An immense thank you to everyone who voted on next term's roulette categories!

Roulette Fanfiction Category for Term 1 2026 will be Best Antagonist Portrayal. This will be 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. Must name the character in your nomination.

Roulette Fanart Category for Term 1 2026 will be Best Traditional Artwork. This will be defined as: A piece created using traditional media such as paints, pencils, pens, ink, markers, pastels, crayons, chalks, etc. Computer programs are used to create minor adjustments only or not at all.

Roulette Romance Category for Term 1 2026 will be Best KogSan Romance. This will be a category for both Fanart and Fanfiction.

For Fanfiction, it will be defined as: Stories that have developed a believable romance between Koga 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, it will be defined as: Any romantic depiction of Koga and Sango.

Remember, all other romantic pairings, besides InuKag & KogSan, can be nominated into the Best Romance category. All other pairings will be up for voting again next term. We will continue cycling through desired pairings to give spotlight to as many pairings as possible.

We will officially be back in full swing January 1st! We will still be around in case you have questions or concerns, but feel free to take this time to read new fanfiction and find new fanart. We strongly encourage everyone to review/comment/reblog so to spread the love of this fandom around. 

Want to stay immersed in the Inuyasha fandom? Head on over and join our Discord server, which is open to everyone! Or follow @inuyasha-events​ to stay up-to-date on all the current and upcoming fandom events!

As the day gets closer to the start of the first term of 2026, we will be keeping everyone in the loop when it comes to changes and updates. Thank you all again for making this such a wonderful experience! See you soon!

It's the start of the 3rd Term 2025 Inuyasha Fandom Awards!

We hope everyone had a great summer! 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!

A special thank you goes out to @mayarab for donating her time and talent to creating banners for everyone! (If you have not received your award banner for last term, please reach out to one of the mods asap!)

As a reminder detailed in this post, there has been a big change for how to submit your nominations. We are no longer taking nominations submitted through our ask or submission boxes. Change is not fun, but we hope this will make sending in nominations easier and more user friendly across all social media platforms.

To submit your Fanfiction Nominations, please click here.

To submit your Fanart Nominations, please click here.

You will need to sign into Google, just as we ask you to do with the voting form. If you have any questions or concerns about this new format, please don't hesitate to reach out. And if you have any feedback - positive or constructive - please let us know!

At the end of last term, the voting form included the possibilities of the Roulette Categories for this term, and we have taken the top choice for both Fanart and Fanfiction.

The Fanfiction Roulette Category for this term will be Best Crossover Fanfiction. This is defined as: A story that blends characters, places, or storylines from Inuyasha and other medias. It can be set in an Alternate Universe or a Canon Universe.

The Fanart Roulette Category for this term will be Best Fluff Artwork. This is defined as: A piece that generally has a positive and happy feel. Focuses on cheerful themes and "feel good" moments. Can include a happy moment between characters who have a strong, sometimes romantic, bond.

We also have the Romance Roulette category for both Fanfiction and Fanart. This term, the pairing chosen will be Best KogKag Romance.

For Fanfiction, it will be defined as: Stories that have developed a believable romance between Koga and Kagome. "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, it will be defined as: Any romantic depiction of Koga and Kagome.

Remember, all other romantic pairings, besides InuKag & KogKag, can be nominated into the Best Romance category. All other pairings will be up for voting again next term.

If it wasn't mentioned above, chances are it hasn't changed. Please be aware that the moderators always take suggestions regarding how the awards are run and category changes into consideration, and each new term may bring about new changes. You can read up on the most recent FAQs, Rules of Eligibility, and Categories for more information [these links work best on desktop].

For ease of access on mobile, the FAQs, Rules of Eligibility, and Categories can be accessed through this link.

As nominators, please make sure that each term you take a peek at our list of creators who can’t be nominated to make sure you are staying current with who is eligible to be nominated.

Here you can find the mobile-friendly link for all current nominations for this term.

The 3rd Term 2025 nomination period will begin on September 1st and go until the end of the day September 15th. Please send your nominations in through the links above! If you have any other questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to send in an ask or reach out to one of the mods! We are also frequently available on the FC Discord!

Hey everyone!

Below the cut you'll find a complete list of all of the Fanart nominations received for this term! You can also find the full list of all nominations on Google Docs.

Click here for the complete list of Fanfiction nominations.

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 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 don't hesitate to reach out to the mod-team to see why it wasn't posted or to make sure that we received it.

Usually we allow for 2 weeks time to enjoy the nominations prior to the voting period. With the delay, this has impacted this time, but there still remains 3.5 weeks before the voting period closes. We hope that everyone is still able to enjoy all the nominees. If, for whatever reason, you feel as if that time is not enough, please reach out to us so we may make adjustments if necessary.

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 October 6th and end October 20th.

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!

Thank you to everyone who nominated for making this 3rd Term absolutely wonderful, and happy voting!

For our nominees: This term the lovely @mayarab created nominee banners for each individual category. Please click here to download your banner!

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 - 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 the day on October 20th to cast your votes, so don't forget to finish up those fanfics and view all that fanart.

Happy voting!
