At the Warriors Fanfiction Choice Awards
"And we're back!" Lionblaze announced. "Who's ready to here some more winners?"
"I'm ready to be done with this," Jayfeather muttered.
His brother whacked him with a golden tail. "Don't be such a grump. I'll let Brokenstar allow Mom to come back out here!"
"You wouldn't!" the blind tom gasped. "Well then, I am so excited to be today. I also love my mother very much! And Squirrelflight, Bramblestar, and Crowfeather, too! In fact, I just love everyone!"
"Whoa there, bro," Lionblaze meowed. "Let's not get carried away now. You wouldn't want anyone to think you're out of character."
Jayfeather shrugged. "I guess you're right. Let's get on with the show, then."
The golden tom glanced at a pink notecard. "Up next will be the category of 'Best Romance'. The nominees are: Cross My Heart by CannibalisticKitten, Blue Shadows by Blue1272000, From Afar by Emberfall, and What is There to Do? by Emberfall."
Lionblaze handed his brother a second pink notecard- the one containing the name of the winner. The gray tom unfolded it slowly, pausing after doing so as if he were reading it. "Wait," Jayfeather growled, "why am I holding the card? I'm blind! I can't read!"
"Oh...my bad," Lionblaze muttered. "I forgot you'd already been told who won for each category. I'm the one who needs the notecards."
Jayfeather snorted. "I thought you were going to memorize the cards so neither of us had them."
"Well, that failed. Just announce the winner!"
"Fine. And the winner for 'Best Romance' is...What is There to Do?!"
Lionblaze clapped his paws. "Good for you, Emberfall! This story was also nominated for the 'Best Tragedy' category, but lost to Trapped in Ice. I'm glad it won this time!"
Jayfeather nodded. "Congratulations, Emberfall. You deserve all the bragging rights you can get! That was an awesome story!"
"Yes it was, yes it was," the golden host meowed. "Great writing."
"And now for the next category," the gray tom began, "we will be presenting the winner for 'Best Action/Adventure'!"
Lionblaze nodded. "This was actually really close. Two of the stories had the same number of votes up until two days ago. We weren't sure who was going to win!"
"But the winner truly deserves it, in my opinion," Jayfeather added. "It's one of my slave's favorite stories here on FF!"
"Sh! Jay, we can't be telling people Tansy's our personal slave!"
The blind tom shrugged. "I'm not the one who said her name. Anyway, the nominees for 'Best Action/Adventure' are: The Southern Clans: Heart of a Badger by The Spirit That Comes At Night, The Darkest of Hearts, by Blossomwind, Snatched: The Story of Snowkit, by Prin Pardus, and Warriors: Black and White, by Petalwish."
Lionblaze unfolded the next pink notecard, taking a dramatic pause and flashing the camera a dazzling look. "And the winner is...Warriors: Black and White!"
"This was truly an amazing story, started by Petalwish and finished by It ish Morning o3o," Jayfeather added. "Both authors did an amazing job on this. In fact, the protagonist from the story, Whitepetal, was even nominated for 'Best Fanfiction Protagonist'."
"Personally, I love the character of Whitepetal," the golden host added. "She's such a strong personality who doesn't let her brother or her Clan's harsh rules stand in her way."
The gray tom nodded. "Congratulations, Petalwish and It ish Morning o3o!"
"Take your bragging rights and enjoy them!" Lionblaze added.
Jayfeather glanced at his imaginary watch. "I think it's time for another commercial break! Or maybe a water break me me. I'm so thirsty!"
"Yeah, this stage is really hot," the golden tom agreed. "When we come back, it will be time to present the winners for 'Best Fanfiction Protagonist' and 'Most "Interesting" Trollfic'."
"So stay tuned!" the blind host meowed. "And don't be alarmed. We don't keep a certain ginger camera-cat named Tansy hostage or work her like a slave."
(A/N: Someone commented that they noticed that most of the winners were stories that had been up a while, had large numbers of chapters, and had a large number of reviews. That is correct. Most of the stories that were submitted to me were like that. I didn't get many 'new' stories submitted for any category. I did take a look at the popularity of some of the stories before I posted the official list of nominees because up until a day before I wrote all that down, I had some ties. I needed something to be a tie-breaker in case no one else submitted a story before then. With the winners, I haven't had any ties in a few days, so thankfully I haven't needed a tie-breaker. The votes were more spread out. So far, only one category did had a skewed vote, but there are more skewed categories with the canon characters.)
