And thank you to those who voted for the Roulette Category for next term! The Roulette fanfiction category for next term will be: Best NSFW Fiction. This will be defined as: Sexual Content/Smut with plot. Both one-shots and specific chapters from multi-chapter fics are accepted in this category. If coming from a multi-chapter fic, a link for that specific chapter is required and must include content depicting an act of sexual nature. (i.e.: intercourse, masturbation, heavy petting - etc.
As this term comes to a close, The Guild Awards will be taking a short hiatus. This time is always spent reviewing the process and seeing what can be revamped for the next term. We also love hearing from the fandom (ie: YOU!) for suggestions regarding any changes or additions.
We will officially be back in full swing on October 1st! We will still be around in case you have questions or concerns, but please take this time to read new fanfiction and find new fanart.
Want to stay immersed in all things Fairy Tail? Join our Discord! It's open to everyone!

"Is that all your mouths good for? Talking?" Melissa grumbled at Benjamin, he dripped a refined elegance that had her brow inching. Who'd brought him that? It hadn't been her. With a glass in hand, she took a slow sip. "Actually, do not answer that. Find something else to do. You'd think you'd appreciate the break for once." She needn't say more, Benjamin quickly sauntered away, leaving Melissa to pivot on her heel, a grin spreading across her face.
"What a pleasant evening this is turning out to be," Melissa remarked, with a swift glass raise toward the oncoming arrival. "How are you?"
There’s a moment early on in Showtime’s limited series Fellow Travelers where Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton) has dark-rimmed nerd glasses on, hair flat, covered up and looking like Clark Kent just stepped out of a haberdashery. You know you’re going to get that ‘high school girl in a late 90s/early 00s teen rom com’ moment where she takes off her glasses and everyone sees that she’s been pretty all along. Bailey more than gets that moment here but while it’s a bit funny and cheeky to deglam him to make us think he’s not one of the most attractive people on the planet, the same visual metaphor is at play and is one of the central themes of this story; that people aren’t always as they seem on the surface, often hiding the truest nature of themselves, needing to, especially if you were queer in the 1950s at the height of the Lavender Scare.[...]
Bomer is very good here, playing on the strengths of his matinee idol looks and finding nuance between the lines. But it’s Bailey who’s a real revelation. He plays his voice and American accent like a musical instrument and gives Tim a true arc of triumph and change.
