As always, us mods here at FeudalConnection want to give a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the First 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 up to 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! Also, we please ask that you give at least one week time for your awards to be sent due to the mod-team having IRL commitments. 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.
In doing so, the mod-team has been working behind the scenes over the last couple of months to bring about a new method of sending in nominations. This new method will allow people outside of tumblr to send in nominations, and will have an easy fill-in format to hopefully make nominating easier. This will be implemented by the next term, so keep an eye out for a future post with details regarding this.
An immense thank you to everyone who voted on next term's roulette categories!
Roulette Fanfiction Category for Term 2 2025 will be Best Classic Fanfiction. This is defined as: A fanfiction that has been posted outside of the designated timeframe; ie: stories that have been posted and/or updated prior to the 3 years before the start of the term. These are not limited to completed fics, but completed fics may be preferred.
Roulette Fanart Category for Term 2 2025 will be Best Background. This is defined as: A focus on the background, not just the main character(s). This is an appreciation of the work and background that the artist has created.
Roulette Romance Category for Term 2 2025 will be Best Thruple 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 three Inuyasha characters. "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 three Inuyasha characters.
Remember, all other romantic pairings, besides InuKag & thruples, 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 May 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 second term of 2025, 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!
