- 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.

Congratulations to all the winners! Your awards will be ready soon, so please send one of the mods or this blog your preferred email address so we can send them to you!

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 3 2024 will be Best Friendship Portrayal. This is defined as: A story that has a primary relationship between two characters that have qualities of trust and intimacy. Revolves around a strong bond and mutual affection.

Roulette Fanart Category for Term 3 2024 will be Best Improved Artist. This is defined as: Two illustrations of the same artwork that showcase the improvement an artist has made. The most recent image of the set should be posted within the last three years, and it must be a redraw of one of the artist's older works.

Roulette Romance Category for Term 3 2024 will be Best MirSan 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 Miroku 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 Miroku and Sango.

Due to low participation, we will be removing the Best SessKag Romance categories for both Fanfiction and Fanart moving forward. However, SessKag will be introduced into the Romance Roulette category for future terms. The original Best Romance categories will remain, so all non-InuKag pairings, including LGBTQ+, can be nominated into that category. All other pairings will be up for voting again next term.

We will officially be back in full swing September 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! Or follow @inuyasha-events to stay up-to-date on all the current and upcoming fandom events!

We also want to give the biggest thank you to the beautiful and wonderful @elevenharbor for gifting us her time and talent with creating banners for the fandom over these last 6 terms. We have adored each piece she has created and were always blown away with what she came up with next. However, she's stepping down for now, and in her place we are welcoming a new banner creator for next term. Please give Eleven a big thank you for her many creations over the years and send her off with lots of love!

As the day gets closer to the start of the third term of 2024, 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!

This episode and this after credit scene is the work of Kumiko Takahashi! Not related to RT lol. She’s worked on some classic and very popular animes such as Card Captor Sakura, Full Metal Alchemist and Ouran Host Club, as well as some of the IY movies, some of the openings and endings, and that one role playing IY game.

Reposting because I should’ve added info here instead of tags oops anyways

#wish they redid the whole thing in her style #her sense of line weight #anatomy #fluidity #her whole craftsmanship #sigh

Accept these incomplete Kagome drafts (and one Kikyou?), let’s pretend I didn’t just take like what, 5 months off tumblr—let’s pretend I’ve been here all along. Where did I go? Nowhere.

#i planned it this was my plan all along #guess the fanfic that last one is based off of #i know thats not how miko robes look like or work take them as they are thanks #fourth has a ref pic #it’s somewhere on Pinterest #kagome #inuyasha #higurashi #fanart #inuvember #i guess???

Reblogging again because, like... @katballesteros how many requests to write something from this have you gotten already? Because the inspiration is stronk.

katballesteros

my goal is to brainwash writers into writing fics inspired by my art for self indulgence and selfish reasons mwahahaha

dawnrider

No brainwashing necessary.

I started writing something last night without permission. #sorrynotsorry

mamabearcat

I may have also written something because inukag hurt comfort is my jam.
