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 2 2024 will be Best Rising Author. This is defined as: A piece crafted by an Inuyasha fandom creator who has not placed first, second, or third in any previous quarters. A category to recognize lesser-known authors and show them some love.
Roulette Fanart Category for Term 2 2024 will be Best Underappreciated Fanart. This is defined as: An Art piece with under 100 notes or retweets, designed to highlight some of the newer or lesser known artists.
Roulette Romance Category for Term 2 2024 will be Best InuParents 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 Inu no Taisho and Izayoi (aka Inuyasha's parents). "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 Inu no Taisho and Izayoi (aka Inuyasha's parents).
The original Best Romance categories will remain, so all other 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 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! 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 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!

Worrying that her time away would make her haughty and too unlike herself to even be seen with him, and Inuyasha was glad that his fears were put to rest a full ten minutes after she stepped off her train. After embracing her father, her next stop was him, and were it not for her fine blue traveling dress, he would have mussed her hair or played some childish prank to remind her not to leave town for so long. 
Or, at the very least, to take him with her the next time she left. 
Slipping Traces is nominated in the Third Term of the Inuyasha Fandom Awards for Best Romance! Please follow the link at @feudalconnection to vote!!

Inuyasha Bingo Bonanza & November InuPrompt
Nov. 10th, 2022 InuPrompt: Mental Health; Bingo Bonanza: Support
A Friend’s Support
trigger warning: mentions of suicide 
“Kagome?” She asked softly, her voice croaking from lack of use.
“Hmm? Sango? Is everything okay?” Kagome glanced up from the small fire, Inuyasha’s, Miroku’s, and Shippo’s gaze on her. Flushing at their attention, she nodded, silently hoping Kagome would understand her need to talk alone, eyes darting over at a sleeping Kirara.

One moment in time in our characters’ lives that could change them forever – or maybe not.
Stories written for the Bingo Bonanza by @feudalconnection & @inu-mothership 
#1: Brave | Rating G | Izayoi & Inuyasha
“And at that moment, for the first time, Inuyasha hated a part of himself. Not the ears on his head that his mother liked to caress before going to sleep, nor his unusual colours that always earned him strange looks but reminded his mother of the father he had never met. No, Inuyasha hated his claws and wished he could get rid of them.”

Will you be participating in any of the IY Fandom events this year? (Inu-Spiration, InuSecretSanta, Inuvember, Sugar and Spice Event, etc.)
Hello, anon! I realise you’ve sent this ask to multiple people, so in the interest of your interest check, I’ll answer your question. I tend to keep musings to hashtags, but as my closest friends here know, I’m an opinionated mouthpiece when given the opportunity. So, I’m going to be honest about my feelings here, since you asked in such good faith.
But for future reference – you don’t need to hide. I won’t bite unless asked. Note: These opinions are my own and not a direct reflection of how others may feel, or the coordinators of these events.
Inu-spiration: No. Mystery-bag art isn’t on my Christmas list, and the same goes for writing. When I want to collaborate, I have options, and those options come with people I adore and admire, and afford me the gift of knowledge. Not knowing who/what/when/where/why I’m being paired and the type of work I’ll create is not in my repertoire of a good time, and from personal experience, participants tend to be laden with stress up until the very last moment. In the interest of peace and tranquillity, it’s a no from me.
InuSecretSanta: My calendar quakes. In the interest of peace and time-keeping, it’s a no from me.
Inuvember Mothership (and somehow FC) Bingo: No. And because you forced me into having to read, re-read and make sense of something that doesn’t make sense, I returned the favour – this is going to be longwinded.
Incoherent: I have to read a lot to get to the meat of what this event entails. My brain is flighty, and I tend to skip ANs on a good day – so when I did just that, I was brought to percentages. So, I have to go back up to the top to understand why those are there. And when I read it all, it’s still not very clear what the aim is here – apart from, of course, competition, competition, competition.
Longwinded: Bingo. A game beloved by many, particularly OAPs and children. It usually comprises of a card and a time and place to meet. This event, so far, has come with 2 announcement posts, neither of which is a bingo card, and an edit (which I’ll get into) to the event itself. As per the previous incoherency issues, neither of these announcements have come from the Inuvember page, and have been spread between 2 other blogs. Having to jump through multiple hoops to find information is a PR nightmare, and I’ve already thrown my laptop out the window because I don’t know where to look. The OAPs and children weep, for the adults don't have the answers.
Exclusionary: This one is two-fold, so I’ve broken it down. -Themes: are, at best, exclusionary. Forcing people into rare characters and rare pairs has pushed the majority of the fandom out of participation within the first 2 weeks. On top of that, the original event comprised of an entire week of whump, which is baffling for so many reasons – so by week 3, there are half a dozen people left who might participate. By the time we reach week 4 – the only one that makes a lick of sense for a fandom-wide event – it’s Tropes, which, besties, no… Whump is a Trope. And as a final hoorah, the event has been amended before we’ve even seen a bingo card. If that isn’t fumbling the bag, I don’t know what is. At this point, we have 3 weeks until November, no Bingo card, and very little time to come up with a Hojo Whump story. – Competition: Ain’t my schtick. Leaderboards, as a concept, are not cute. Fandom is an escapist plain, and with the incredibly niche themes and modge-podging that has to be done to earn points/percentages/whatever, all but 2 people have “lost” their chance to place anywhere. To meet any requirements here, you’d have to give yourself over to the toxic productivity that only a handful of people thrive in. We already have a quarterly competition that happens too frequently for a small, dying fandom, so this portion of the event was unnecessary, ill-advised, and just plain whack.
Transparency/Prizes: There are prizes…apparently. There has been no mention of what they are and should have been announced from the word go. I’ve gleaned that this section of the event may have sprouted from Feudal Connection’s input, considering I've spotted they've answered a few concerns already. From personal experience, I have received 2/8 Winners banners promised from that specific event (which I do not feel to/shouldn’t have to chase, and no, I’m not a special case here), have found it to be nothing but an administrative nightmare from the ground up, and can't compute when suggestions for improvement are met with combative resistance to change. With all that being said, I am 1) not surprised this hasn’t been coordinated/planned properly yet and 2) not convinced that they will be worth the hassle of chasing up when/if these promises are met.
Convoluted: From my wading through multiple blogs and posts, I have concluded this is a Mothership event and bears no real affiliation with Inuvember, apart from appearing on a banner and in a tag. Three separate blogs/events conducting one’s brainchild is confusing at best, and I struggle to understand where FC or Inuvember come into this event other than being guilty by association.
TLDR: From my understanding, previous Inuvember events have been this: 30 days of themes for us to celebrate our love for Inuyasha as a fandom, in whatever way we see fit. This is 30 days of competition to see whose Franken-fic comes out on top. Fandom accolades have never been the aim of my game, so you’ll have to find this very, very particular bloodlust elsewhere. Verdict: In the interest of peace and sanity, it’s a no from me.
Sugar and Spice: Probably not, cause it’s too far in the future for me to say for certain what with having no concept of time. In the interest of refusing to believe 2023 is near, it’s a no from me.
Etc: Fandom is supposed to be about fun. And yes, some find competition and Being Number 1 fun. But I’m tired, I have a child to raise, and I just wanna write/draw my silly little grocery store daydreams and delight over them with my friends. I do not care who is the best. I do not care about stretching myself thin for things that do not bring me joy. And you won’t find any HoW tO WiN aT FaNdOm nonsense here. We have snacks – that’s about it.
Hope this helps! 🥰❤

Blame this on @moon-ion, and the Feudal Connection Discord lol.
Summary:  It's time to leave to pick up Kagome from the airport, but Moroha refuses to leave the house. When Inuyasha tries to find out what is wrong, he get's a blast from the past and find his daughter is more like him than he knew.

Ok I will have to make this platform again, because honestly I am like so blown away that I am nominated for my utmost favourite Inuyasha fanfic that I wrote for Christmas last year 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
It was my first go on my Midoriko and Kirinmaru OTP, because honestly I was simply blown away by @unlockthelore​ Elucidation (BTW I have nominated your short for ‘Best One-Shot”, that I wanted to take you on an adventure far away, where sorcerers, enchanted gardens and knights on crusades with them. It was magical, frightening and yet so beautiful.
Taking one of my favourite quotes which I wrote from this story ‘At last, love was no longer a horrid ghost he feared, but a kind companion—leading the way to marital bliss.”, let me allow to tell that tale to you 💖
