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 terms roulette categories!

Roulette Fanfiction Category for Term 1 2024 will be Best Plot Twist. This is defined as: A sudden reveal in the storyline that was unexpected or clever in nature. Does not necessarily need to have "shock" value.

Roulette Fanart Category for Term 1 2024 will be Best Fluff. This is defined as: Artwork depicting a positive and happy moment. Generally includes cheerful themes.

We will officially be back in full swing January 1st! Remember, we will now only be hosting three times per year, and thus the time between terms has extended. 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!

As the day gets closer to the start of the first 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!
