SR fans: "Sesshōmaru is not a pedophile!"

Congratulations to all the winners! Banners will be ready for the winners in approximately a week, so please send one of the mods or this blog your preferred email address so we can send them to you! If you have not received it within two weeks, please reach out to a mod <3

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 2026 will be Best World Building. This will be defined as: creating a believable setting or fictional world for your story, a world that feels as real to your readers as the one they live in.

Roulette Fanart Category for Term 2 2026 will be Best Line Artwork. This will be defined as: any image that consists of distinct straight lines or curved lines placed against a background.

Roulette Romance Category for Term 2 2026 will be Best SessSan Romance. This will be a category for both Fanart and Fanfiction.

Remember, all other romantic pairings, besides InuKag & SessSan, can be nominated into the Best Romance category. All other pairings will be up for voting again next term. We will continue cycling through desired pairings to give spotlight to as many pairings as possible.

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.

They're finally getting along 💖😌

my daily affirmation as an author

the other day, I saw someone in this fandom— not gonna name names— posting A.I-generated "fan" art and even specifying they were the one to generate it like it's their accomplishment.

as such, I prepared a short video. enjoy.

”you anti-a.i people only see the tool, you don’t see what’s BEHIND the tool is love for [x]!”

yeah, it’s nice that you think that and all…

You know that paper drawing of Kagome I included in this video? I was 13 when I drew that. It’s not particularly spectacular, but there is a reason I picked that as one of the drawings to show.

It’s because my older sister still has it.

I didn’t even remember that, but she and I were looking through her “important documents” recently and ran into it. She has held onto it and kept it safe for almost nine years.

You can’t generate that.
