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!

Un pequeño conteo del año y el proceso del dibujo ✍️ En la mayoría del tiempo trato siempre de dibujar lo que me mueve y me llena, recuerdo que en los años de universidad deje de dibujar y se notó las consecuencias en mi línea y estilo pero cuando comenzó 2022 me dije que quería aumentar mi ejercicio de dibujo y creo que lo he logrado, muchos de estos dibujos son los más populares hasta ahorita y otros son los que más me gustaron del año. Solo me queda agradecer el tiempo invertido y el apoyo infinito de todos ustedes que me siguen y aprecian el arte que les ofrezco. Xoxo los T.K.M 💖💖 #artvsartist2022 #dibujodigital #remember #lomejor2022 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl7KvWlLA4g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

No había podido dibujar nada después de bastante tiempo, solo se que el concierto de MCR en el corona me dejó una marca que jamás podré olvidar. Esta es mi pequeña aportación de Gee 💖💖 La GWall está creciendo ✍️ #gerardway #mcr #dibujomanoalzada #colorfull https://www.instagram.com/p/Clp4_DYsjPm/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amikos mios, en esta ocasión quisiera pedirles un gran favor: Este fin de semana tuve una experiencia muy delicada con mi salud, gracias al Instituto de Perinatologia y a mi tía es que puedo decir que sigo aquí, viva y mucho mejor de lo que estaba pasando desde el mes de agosto (no había querido dejar de dibujar pero ya en este mes de verdad ya no me encontraba nada bien). Ahora, como siempre he tenido mucho apoyo por parte de ustedes y siempre estaré agradecida de su gran amistad, quisiera pedirles que me ayuden a devolver un poquito de la vida que me brindaron. El tema es que debo llevar a un donador de sangre el día 9 de Diciembre, bajo unos pequeños requicitos para el cuidado de la sangre y para la donación, yo se que tal vez este pidiendo mucho pero pensé podría ofrecer algo a cambio y de lo mejor que se hacer y puedo darle un dibujo de gran formato a mi donador (favor con favor se paga). Quien este interesado porfi mandenme un mensaje y vemos si podemos concretarlo. Muchísimas Gracias a todos perdonen el texto largo xD.
