We’re All Fired Up!!
Tumblr media
Hey everyone!
The Guild Awards are back for the first bi-annual term of 2023! We hope everyone had a wonderful start to the year! Thank you to those who participated last term for making it so enjoyable. We look forward to all the new fanfiction and fanart to be nominated for this term. 
Shout out to @pencilofawesomeness​ for creating last term’s banners! If you haven’t received yours, please reach out to one of the mods asap!
Some changes that are taking place that may effect you as nominators. We have decided to take out both NSFW categories, as there hasn’t been much participation in those categories the last couple of terms. So at this time, we are not going to be accepting any explicit NSFW artwork; however, NSFW fanfiction is still allowed to be nominated in other appropriate categories as long as it has been tagged appropriately. 
Our roulette category for this term is Best Antagonist Portrayal. This is defined as:  Stories that have a developed antagonist with motive and ambition. This does not necessarily mean a “villain” of the story, but any one person who causes conflict for the story. A large part of the story must surround this antagonist and the “heroes” overcoming the conflict. Keep in mind that characterization must also be considered depending on who the antagonist is. *Nomination must include the name of the character*
As a reminder, there is a Winner Ban in place.   This means that once any piece of artwork or fanfiction has won an award for a category, it automatically becomes ineligible and cannot be nominated again for that category. However, it can be nominated for other categories after three consecutive terms have passed (ie: one year since that piece won) as long as it fits within that definition. We do not have a rule against nominating an author/artist back into the category they won for in the past, as long as its a different piece of work that is being nominated.
In addition, we are also going to have a mobile-friendly Google Doc with all current nominations listed. This will be updated as frequently as possible so you can be aware of all the nominations that have currently been reviewed and notified. Hopefully this will help everyone select their own nominations. You can access this doc here.
If it was not mentioned above, chances are it hasn’t changed. Please be aware that the moderators always take suggestions regarding how the awards are run and category changes into consideration. You can read up on the most recent FAQs, Rules of Eligibility, and Categories for more information. [these links are only available on desktop]
The First Term 2023 Nomination Period will begin March 1st and will end March 31st. Please send in your nominations through the submit button. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to send in an ask or reach out to one of the mods!
Don’t forget we also have a discord that is open to everyone!
Mods: @classysassy9791​, @kiliinstinct​, @phoenix-before-the-flame​, @ratretro​, @phoneboxfairy​
Please reblog and spread the word of the start of the new term!
[Below the cut is the mobile-friendly FAQs, Rules of Eligibility, and Categories!]
Frequently Asked Questions
What are The Guild Awards?
The Guild Awards is a place where amazing fanart and fanfiction in the Fairy Tail fandom is recognized, admired, and offered the chance to be nominated for an award! In addition, it also gives lesser known authors and artists an opportunity to have their work shared to a broader extent and receive the admiration and recognition they deserve!
How do I nominate?
You can send in a submission in one of our nomination formats. Your submission will not be posted and therefore remain anonymous, only to be seen by the moderators. You can send in multiple nominations in one submission, as long as the nomination formats are used for each nomination. Please select your fiction nominations carefully; spelling and grammar are important parts of being an author. Anything deemed unacceptable by the moderator team will be disqualified. Once nominations are complete, the mods will post the list of accepted nominations so you can read and view them before voting.
Can I nominate my own art/fiction?
You cannot nominate yourself. Doing so will result in the nomination not being accepted and a warning from the award moderators.
How long do I have to nominate?
You will have one month to send in your nominations. At the start of each period, the dates will be announced for when you can send in nominations.
Can I nominate anonymously?
No. This is due to the fact that no one is allowed to nominate their own work. Also, if a nomination is disqualified, the moderators will be reaching out to the person who nominated to allow them another opportunity to nominate.
How many fanfics/fanarts can I nominate?
Only one fiction or artwork can be chosen for each category per person. Meaning, a story or artwork can only be nominated by one person per category. Therefore, any secondary nominations will be disregarded and the duplicate nominator will be allowed to submit another story or artwork in its place.
What fanfiction/fanart is eligible to be nominated?
Please see Rules of Eligibility.
What is the nominating format for fanfics? For fanart?
Nominating format for fanfiction:
Category: (List the name of the category you’ve chosen) Nominated by: (List YOUR screen name) Rating: (The fiction’s rating) Title: (Title of the fiction) Author: (List the name of the person(s) who wrote the story) Website(s): (Add the link where the story can be seen) (For “Best In-Character” & “Best Antagonist Portrayal” list the character’s name):
Nominating format for fanart:
Category: (List the name of the category you’ve chosen) Nominated by: (List YOUR screen name) Title: (Title of the artwork) Artist: (List the name of the person who drew the piece) Website(s): (Add the link where the story can be seen)
Can I nominate a fanart/fanfic that includes Original Characters or Crossover Characters?
Yes. For fanfics, 80% of the story needs to be focused on Fairy Tail characters and the development of the story. OC’s can be in a story, but the main focus needs to be on the Fairy Tail characters. Artwork can contain Non-FT characters where specified, but NO art may contain only OC’s or Non-FT characters (i.e. Artwork of “OC children” or “new wizard in the guild") are unacceptable without other genuine FT characters present in the piece)
I don’t want my fanart/fanfic nominated. Can I opt out? How?
Once a nomination has been approved by the moderators, the author/artist will be made aware of the nomination. Every author/artist retains the right to have their work removed from the nomination list and can opt out of future nominations.
How many terms are there?
There are two terms each year.
How long is each term?
Each term will be approximately 6 weeks long.
How long is the voting period?
The voting period will be 2 weeks long.
How do I vote?
Once the voting period begins, the moderators will post a link that will take you to the voting form. You must sign into Google in order to ensure each person is allowed one vote per category. Your votes and identity will remain anonymous.
When are the winners announced?
At the end of each term.
What happens if my fanfic/fanart wins? Do I need to do anything?
Please send this blog or one of the mods your preferred email address so we can send your award banner to you as soon as possible. Otherwise, kick back, relax, and enjoy the feeling of being recognized for your hard work!
I want to nominate an artist/author who has won in the past. Are they still eligible to be nominated?
There is a Winner Ban in place. Once any piece of artwork or fanfiction has won an award for a category, it automatically becomes ineligible and cannot be nominated again for that category. However, it can be nominated for other categories after three consecutive terms have passed (ie: one year since that piece won) as long as it fits within that definition. We currently do not have a rule against nominating an author/artist back into the category they won for in the past, as long as it is a different piece of work that is being nominated.
I have a question that’s not listed.
Please feel free to send in an ask or a direct message to one of the mods and we will get back to you as soon as possible!
Rules of Eligibility
Fiction and Fanart published on any free site can be submitted for an award provided they meet all of the requirements of the nominations. These sites include, but are not limited to: Tumblr, Fanfiction.net, AO3, Deviantart, etc. If the validity of the site is uncertain, reach out to a moderator.
Multi-chapter fics must have been updated within the past 2 years of the nomination period. Fanart must have been created within the past 2 years of the nomination period. One-shots and drabbles must have been posted within the past 2 yearsof the nomination term.
If the work was posted onto several different locations, the earliest date and time stamp will be taken and checked against the current nomination period of eligibility. Stamps posted within reviews can be used to date a work and/or its chapters. Also, authors and artists will be contacted to verify timeframes if needed.
You cannot nominate yourself. Doing so will result in the nomination not being accepted and a warning from the award moderators.
You are only allowed to nominate one fanfic/fanart per category.
Each piece of Art or Fanfiction is allowed to be nominated into a maximum of two different categories per term. The nominations will be taken on a first come first serve basis, meaning that once a piece of Art or Fanfiction is nominated into two categories, it will not be allowed to be nominated into other categories, and each subsequent nomination will be rejected.
Each author/artist is allowed to be nominated twice per term. Meaning, an author/artist can only have a max of two of their creations be nominated per term. So be sure to pick your favorites carefully!
The work must be in compliance with the definition of the category into which it was nominated.
Both adult and non-adult fanfiction and artwork are acceptable for nominations.
Because of the nature of child-grooming and other potentially abusive traits, nominations of work that include a ship that pairs an older person with anyone who is canonically underage will not be accepted.
Categories
*Please keep in mind that these are subject to change pending participation and suggestions.There are 30 categories in all - 15 for Fanfiction and 15 for Fanart. Please adhere to each categories’ definition when nominating. If a nomination does not fit within the definition, it will be disqualified.
                                                              ☆Fanfiction Categories☆
- Best Action/Adventure Fiction
Action: “actual engagement in fighting an enemy; military or naval combat” Adventure: “participation in exciting undertakings, missions, or enterprises”
Does it make you sit on the edge of your seat? Do the characters battle adversity on a daily basis? Have the characters embarked on an epic quest?
- Best Alternate Universe/Reality Fiction
Anything that walks outside of Mashima’s vision. Anything that moves the characters outside of Mashima’s settings of Ishgar or the Alvarez Empire is AU/AR. Anything that changes the main characters beyond the basic core attributes Mashima granted them. Anything that includes a separate world and series of events.
- Best Canon Fiction
“The work of an author that have been accepted as authentic.“
If the story is set in Mashima’s universe and keeps the character origins, events, and motivations for character development that he created, then it is canon. This can also include anything that walks outside of Mashima’s original vision, but includes some key defining moments from the original canon universe. Anything that starts in the World created by Mashima and is taken to a different outcome.
- Best Angst Fiction
“Any situation or series of events having/giving a feeling of dread, anxiety, or anguish. An acute but nonspecific sense of anxiety or remorse.”
Stories that delve into the lives of the characters and pit them against odds that create angst.
- Best Dark Fiction
Anything that brings the reader into a world of pain and suffering through abuse of the characters at the hands of the antagonist or internal strife. If it includes graphic rape, murder, abuse (mental or emotional), a character that is suicidal or possessed of depressing thoughts/outlook on life that colors the majority of the story in glum tones it can be considered a dark!fic. Can also be aimed to cause an overwhelming and painful feeling due to something frightfully shocking, terrifying, or revolting; fear. Aimed to frighten or ‘gross out’ the reader.
- Best Drama Fiction
“Any situation or series of events having vivid, emotional, conflicting, or striking interest or results.“
Stories that delve into the lives of the characters and take the readers with them on a journey through the gambit of emotive expression.
- Best Humor/Parody Fiction
Did it make you laugh? Did it deliberately spoof the anime/manga?
- Best Oneshot Fiction
Any fiction that spans the length of one chapter. This can also be a fiction that contains more than one chapter provided that each one was posted at the same time and specifically deemed a “oneshot” by the author.
- Best Character Portrayal
A fic in which the author has created an in-depth characterization that, while it may diverge from Mashima’s vision for them, managed to attract the reader. *Nomination must include the specific character*
- Best Romance Fiction
“Ardent emotional attachment or involvement between people; love”
Stories that have developed a believable romance between two male/female characters. “Believable” is subjective, and it is up to those nominating/voting to draw their own line on that quantifier and vote their “Best”.
- Best LGBTQ+ Romance Fiction
Stories that have developed a believable romance between two or more characters. “Believable” is subjective, and it is up to those nominating/voting to draw their own line on that quantifier and vote their “Best”. This excludes male/female pairings.
- Best Antagonist Portrayal Fiction
Stories that have a developed antagonist with motive and ambition. This does not necessarily mean a “villain” of the story, but any one person who causes conflict for the story. A large part of the story must surround this antagonist and the “heroes” overcoming the conflict. Keep in mind that characterization must also be considered depending on who the antagonist is. *Nomination must include the specific character*
- Best Serial Fiction
A collection of drabbles or oneshots, a combination of both that makes up one larger story, or a collection of multiple chapter stories that take place within the same universe.

- Best Canon Artwork
Any art featuring the characters in a canon setting.
- Best Angst Artwork
Any art depicting a scene having/giving a feeling of dread, anxiety, or anguish.
- Best Dark Artwork
Any art that brings the viewer into a world of pain and suffering through the abuse of the characters at the hands of the antagonist or an internal strife. It can include graphic murder, abuse (mental or emotional), a character that is suicidal or possessed of depressing thoughts/outlook on life that colors the piece in glum tones. Can also be aimed to cause an overwhelming and painful feeling due to something frightfully shocking, terrifying, or revolting; fear. Aimed to frighten or ‘gross out’ the reader.
- Best Humor/Parody Artwork
Any artwork which evokes a feeling of amusement in the viewer.
- Best Kiss Artwork
Any artwork depicting a kiss between two romantic characters.
- Best Romance Artwork
Any romantic depiction of a male/female pairing of Fairy Tail.
- Best LGBTQ+ Romance Artwork
Any romantic depiction of two or more characters of Fairy Tail. This excludes male/female pairings.
- Best Character Artwork
Any artwork that is a ‘still life’ of one character. It may be bust only, bust and torso, or full body. The portrait should seem more ‘professional’ than a snapshot in its form and presentation, and should successfully convey a sense of the character’s canon personality to the viewer.
- Best Duo/Pairing Artwork
Any art that features two characters; be it a comic doujinshi, painting, drawing, sketch, etc. If other characters are included in the picture it is only allowed as a background. The focus MUST be on the pairing. The art can reflect either a platonic relationship or a romantic relationship between the two characters.
- Best Group Depiction Artwork
This artwork must feature 3 or more of the Fairy Tail characters to be eligible.
- Best Manga Coloring
Any panel taken from Fairy Tail manga and colored by the artist.
- Best Redraw Artwork
Any art that is a redraw of a scene from the manga or anime.
- Best Overall Artwork
The quality, time, thought, and emotion that went into this piece is what would make it worthy of this nomination. Please take note: The general idea is not the “best of what’s nominated” or “best of show.” It is a category created specifically for art appreciation. That means that even if the characters are OOC, AU, or not drawn in anime style, etc., the ART itself is worthy of praise.
