#nominations

The rules are included in the survey, but I'll write them again here for additional clarity.

Only one submission per character per submitter, although there are no restrictions on how many entries you can make overall.

The tournament features exclusively fictional characters and will not include any real life individual. This includes: Prominent historical figures (including real-world activists) Youtubers and streamers (including V-Tuber personas and Minecraft youtubers) Any real-life animals

All characters submitted must be from some form of published media, indie or otherwise, and any submissions for OCs or characters that cannot be verified will be removed.

Characters and media found to be strongly and/or deliberately offensive, bigoted, or otherwise harmful, can and will be removed from submissions

As a result of the Champion's Belt match, Donatello Hamato does not qualify for participation and nominations for him will be removed. All other returning contestants may be re-submitted.

A note to anyone who gets tagged, in case you don’t know: This is a poll for the biggest fan of certain Lifers on Tumblr. Being tagged here means that someone nominated you! You have until Wednesday to respond by reblogging this post to accept the nomination, or sending me your acceptance via DMs or messages if you maybe have a blog theme you don’t want to disrupt. If you either don’t respond, or choose to reject (which I completely understand), I will remove you from the list when I make the poll on the Wednesday!

Final Nominees:

Interact-IF's Aug 2026 writing spotlight will focus on underrated/smaller/newer IF* titles, and includes categories that were suggested by the community during the previous Writing Spotlight:

Fave Enemy/Rival/Villain 

Fave Ensemble Cast

Fave Plot Twist

Fave Character Development/Redemption Arc

Fave Premise

We hope it will help shine a light on more games besides the ones that are often spoken about!

Please nominate games that you think fit under each category via this google form.

Nominations are open from now till August 15, and we really encourage you to submit titles because it would directly improve the quality of the resulting recommendation lists!

After nominations close, we will open another form for voting before tallying the results and publishing the recommendations.

Admin notes

*It's difficult to define underrated/small/new IFs in a completely objective/definitive way, so we might need to exercise judgment depending on the resulting nominations. Generally, we will avoid including titles that have previously featured by Interact-IF in the previous "Best of" Writing Spotlight, and/or IF titles that have been around for more than 3 years.

Vote for Good Omens, Staged and David Tennant in ITalkTelly Awards! :) ❤

Do you want to nominate a mcyt little guy to go up against other... maybe littler guys? This is the form for you! Rules for nominations are in the google form, anyone should be able to submit, no account required! We are looking for roughly 60 nominations, though anymore would be greatly appreciated! Feel free to send in asks with any questions you might have!

The competition will likely have polls up starting last week of January/beginning of February, but don't let that slow you down for nominating, we want to hear about your favorite little guys!
