As always, us mods here at FeudalConnection want to give a huge thank you to everyone who participated in the Third Quarter 2022 Inuyasha Fandom Awards!! Your participation and support for this fandom is simply incredible! Please note, all votes must provide a valid email address and social media username; nonexistent accounts cannot be accepted or included in the final tally. We implemented these measures to preserve the integrity of the voting form following a series of voting anomalies, and we thank you for your cooperation.
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 which received up to five nominations, First and Second place banners will be awarded to the winners.
- For categories which received up to seven nominations, First, Second, and Third place banners will be awarded to the winners.
Speaking of banners... The lovely and wonderful @britonell who has been graciously donating her time and talent to creating banners for us will be stepping down after this quarter. This fandom is so very grateful for her creativity and will cherish her contributions for many quarters to come! With her stepping down, there is now an open position for banner creator. If any of our lovely IY fandom artists are interested in donating their time and talent, we would love for you to reach out a moderator or send in an ask!! Let’s chat!
In addition, we are very happy to announce a new member to the mod-team! Please welcome Ms. @yukinon-writes! We are so very excited to have her on board!
And now, without further delay, here we are!

We will officially be back in full swing starting October 1st! We will still be around in case you have questions or concerns, but please take this time to read new fanfiction and find new fanart. We strongly encourage everyone to nominate different writers and artists for the next quarter, so to spread the love of this fandom around.
As the day gets closer to the start of the fourth quarter of 2022, 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!
