    Hello!

    Nominations will open tonight at , and will remain open until .

    For those of you who are looking for more information about the Users' Choice Awards generally, you can find it in this thread!

    In short, the Users' Choice Awards are where we come together as a community to chose our favourite creative works on SV. It is a time for our most popular and beloved quests and stories to come up and take a bow.

    The Awards take place in two phases. The Nomination Phase allows any user to nominate up to five quests or stories hosted on SV, across eight categories including this one.

    The five most-nominated threads in each category will then go forward to the Voting Phase, where one will be selected as the winner!

    Eligibility for Nomination to Best Ongoing Fic
    In order to be eligible for nomination, a thread must:
    • Be hosted on Sufficient Velocity.
    • Be a user fic.
    • Have updated on or after January 1st, 2024.
    • Not have declined nomination by the author or QM.
    • Not have won the Award in a previous year.
    If you are still unsure about whether something meets the eligibility criteria, refer to the main announcement thread FAQ for clarification.

    How to Nominate
    You make your nominations by making a post in this thread. The rules are as follows:
    • You may nominate up to five threads.
    • You may edit your post up to the closing date, when the nominations will be counted. This is .
    • Each nomination must consist of only the copy-pasted titles of the threads you wish to nominate, formatted like Quest votes, for example:

    • If your nomination is not formatted correctly, there is a risk it may not be counted.

    Where to Discuss Nominations
    Discussion in the thread is welcome! This includes within your nominations post, just please try to keep any discussion separated from your nominations with a paragraph break or linebreak, as you would in a Quest vote. This makes it easier for the Holiday Elves we will be kidnapping volunteering to help us tally at the end. Thanks so much, and we look forward to seeing your nominations!

    I hope said appendage is for me.

    There is definitely not a rigging of the votes to get Hyphen into the vote at all. Surely no one is pushing the Hyphen button hard.

    Yeah, can't imagine why anyone would vote for a well known story that's popular enough to have made it into the User's Choice Awards multiple years in a row, that just updated with a banger update within the last few days with the promise of two more updates in the coming weeks, and where the writer went "BTW Nominations are up for Best Ongoing Fic". It truly is a mystery.

    [X] Hyphen (Pokemon Emerald)

    (Everyone go read Hyphen it's pretty good honest)

    [X] Fallow Fields [Naruto SI]
     
    [X] Hereafter [Worm x Fate/Grand Order]

    Post GM Worm story about Taylor being a Senior Master to the Fujimaru Twins as they slowly but steadily derail the plot of the Singularities starting with saving Olga Marie so Taylor can tag team mom duties with her.

    [X] Fate/Reach Out (F/SN + SMT:p4 Crossover)

    An old, moved to this site in 2014, crossover between an AU of Fate/Stay Night and Persona 4 with all the cut content being put back in. On the AU side you have Taiga Fujimura making a choice that she never did in canon that will have you scratching your head as to why she never actually did that in canon. On the crossover side it turns out Emiya Shirou is Narukami Yu. On the Persona side the fights shown are plot or character relevant every time so that the plot keeps rolling without padding.

    This story is one of the slower fics out there but each chapter is worth waiting on. Somehow managed this year to play the Absurdist Meme that is Roger A Muirebe completely for drama to the literal hilt of a knife that left a lot of readers in tears while listening to the first Digimon opening.

    [X] Best of Intentions (Resident Evil) (DnD Gamer SI)

    Take one SI DnD Artificer with Combat Only XP that has only seen the Resident Evil movies and played the remake of Resident Evil 3. Toss em into the start of the Racoon City Outbreak. Watch the insanity unfold in this Lit RPG take on Resident Evil that stretches Nanomachines, Son to new limits.

    [X] Khepri-Sensei (Worm/MHA) (Post-GM)

    All Might gets dragged by Khepri into Gold Morning and then Contessa tosses Taylor into MHA. Things go awkward from there as All Might is there with all the support Taylor didn't get in Worm, Taylor is awkward because she keeps getting dragged into actual heroics and Midoriya has a Bud of old Queen Administrator in his head giving him a martial arts power set.

    [X] All Will Know Redemption [Worm Post-GM/MTG New Phyrexia]

    Somehow the entire hell that was Worm did not Ignite Taylor's Spark, implied to be Entities' caused suppression of the Planewalker power set, but two bullets solved that. And dropped Taylor into New Phyrexia. Now Taylor must decide for herself what it means to be Phyrexian while she meddles with the plot of MTG.
     
    [X] Vespa (Worm)
    [X] The Light Of Brockton Bay (Taylor Hebert Alt-Power)
     
    [X] Eevee Therapy for Little Magi (Pokemon x F/SN)
    [X] Empyrean [Elden Ring/Destiny]
    [X] In the Ranger's Shadow (Pokémon/Pokémon Ranger)
    [X] This Weightless Fall (Pokémon SI)


    Well, I have to nominate myself, I suppose. Other than that, the other nominations are just the stories that have been keeping the firmest hold on me ever since I first found them. Eevee Therapy in particular is something of an inspiration for my own writing; Miho Chan and Tale Swapper's portrayal of the Pokémon world has done a lot to inform what it is that I want out of Pokémon fanfics in general. The particular blend of harmonious coexistence and dissonant clashes they've settled on for their fic feels just right.
