Sometime in Early Newleaf
It was a dark and stormy night. Cinderheart and Lionblaze were trapped in their den, struggling to keep their children- Hollykit, Honeykit, and Brackenkit- from driving them insane. Hollykit had thrown her stuffed animals everywhere, Honeykit had scribbled all over the den walls with a permanent marker, and Brackenkit was busy pulling the heads off of his sisters' dolls. Lionblaze, not being able to take it anymore, finally decided to turn on the TV to drown out the sound of his annoying children. He wanted to watch the news, but as soon as the kits saw that the TV was on, they demanded the channel be changed to Catalodean.
"I want to watch The Suite Life of Oak and Stormy!" Hollykit cried.
"I want to watch iSunny!" Honeykit cried.
"I want to watch Apprentice Mutant Samurai Cats!" Brackenkit cried.
Sighing, Lionblaze turned on Catalodean. Whatever show was playing was on a commercial break, and during the break an announcement came on. A ginger she-cat was about to introduce a new event that had never been done before.
"Hello, I'm Tansy- the president of Feline Warrior Television Network. I own ClanTV, CrimeCatTV, and Catalodean, and I am pleased to announce that for the first time ever, my networks have decided to do The Warriors Fanfiction Choice Awards.
Let me explain how this works. Here are the rules:
1. You can nominate any canon character to be the host. Let me repeat- it must be canon. For example, Brackenfur could host the award show. Jazzstar cannot.
2. There are several categories that awards will be given out to. You can nominate any story you would like to see have a chance to win.
3. You can nominate a cat to host the show by sending Tansy a private message. Do not nominate a host by reviewing this commercial.
4. You can nominate a story by sending Tansy a private message. Do not send a review with your nominations.
5. After a certain amount of time has passed, Tansy will count how many times a certain story has been nominated. The four stories for each category that received the most nominations will be the nominees.
6. After Tansy posts the nominees for each category, you can vote for who you want to win by sending Tansy a private message. Do not send your vote through a review.
Do you understand the rules? Yes? Good. Here are the categories for 2014's Warriors Fanfiction Choice Awards:
*Best one-shot
*Best tragedy
*Best story about friendship
*Best romance
*Best action/adventure story
*Best fanfiction protagonist
*Most 'Interesting' fanfiction trollfic (I do not count Starkit's Prophecy as a trollfic. I think she was actually trying to write a good story. Besides, that automatically wins the award for 'Worst Warriors Story Ever'. I didn't think we needed a vote for that one. Additionally, I used the word 'interesting' just to be nice. That isn't exactly what I mean, if you know what I mean.)
*Best Fanfiction Spoof Show (Yes, Fastblaze, your 'World Tour' counts)
*Best canon protagonist (Any character that has had the POV)
*Best canon antagonist
*Best canon couple
*Best canon supporting character (Any character that has not had the POV)
Thank you for listening to Tansy's important message! Please nominate your favorite stories for each category! I will announce the nominees later this week. Remember, all votes are to be sent by private message. Reviews are to be used to say things like 'I hope (insert story) wins' or 'Tansy is super awesome'. Or whatever else you want to say. Just don't put your votes there. Let's get the nominations started!"
Lionblaze looked shocked by the announcement. "An award show? Has this ever been done before?"
"I don't know," Cinderheart replied. "But it sounds like fun."
"Can we vote? Can we vote?" Hollykit, Honeykit, and Brackenkit asked.
Their father nodded. "I think I'll nominate myself to be the host!"
(NOTICE: The nomination process has ended. Do not nominate any more stories or characters. The complete list of nominees is in Chapter 6.)
