As always, us mods here at FeudalConnection want to give a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the Third Term 2025 Inuyasha Fandom Awards! Your participation and support for this fandom is simply incredible!
As a reminder, the winners have evolved into First, Second, and Third place awards. We are allowing ties for first place winners, rather than go into a run off period.
- For categories with up to four nominations, a First place banner will be awarded to the winner.
- For categories which received five to six nominations, First and Second place banners will be awarded to the winners.
- For categories which received seven to ten nominations, First, Second, and Third place banners will be awarded to the winners.
And now, without further delay, here we are!

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 āvillainā 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 āheroesā 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.Ā
