Carter-A259 (CommanderTony)

 * Name: Carter-A259
 * Author: CommanderTony
 * Nominator: Tuckerscreator
 * Description: It’s a big day when a canon character can be nominated for a Fanon of the Year Award and regardless of whether or not which side you stand on Tony’s often out-of-the-box justification for things, you can’t deny that our good Commander has written this good Commander a powerful bio and lifestory worthy of becoming Bungie-grade canon itself.

Voting (4)

 * 1) Heck yes! Tuckerscreator (stalk )
 * 2) I may not always agree with Tony on what he does, but I'll give him the fact that this is a nice piece of work here -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  The Lost Books 17:18, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) A wonderful article. Carter is a great example of a wonderful Spartan article. Through it, CommanderTony demonstrates how to write an amazing character bio, while still preventing it from beginning an overly-detailed Gary Stu. --Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, UNSC Marine Corps 19:26, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Per above

 * 1) Am I indulging my ego? If I have much of one, then probably. But really, this is my pride and joy, the best of my characters, probably the best of my articles, and I had to give him a chance to shine. I've put my heart and soul into Riker for the past two and a half years, crafted him into my ultimate article, and I think he's worthy of having a shot at an award. -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb?

 * Name: Leonardo Simmons
 * Author: SPARTAN-118
 * Nominator: Rozh

Voting (4)

 * 1) This article is an exceptional example of a unique, original take on an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper. He is far from a Gary Stu and is thus quite balanced as a character. Additionally, the history is quite expansive and detailed; its in-depth biographical details truly place you in an empathetical position, and the quotes are a quite nice touch, might I add. >;3 -- • TARADIAN  NITEMARE  •  04:48, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) As per above. A detailed, well-written and thoughtful article- it's got my vote.
 * 3) This is a great article and worthy of any vote! Jawsredfield 20:30, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Stel 'Vadam (Stel' Vadam)

 * Name: Stel 'Vadam
 * Author: Stel' Vadam
 * Nominator: Sona 'Demal

Voting (8)

 * 1) From a writing calibre this article could be considered rather average. However, I vote for it because how huge a ripple Stel' Vadam's namesake character has made over this wiki in the past year. Involved in at least half a dozen or more collaborations across this wiki, Stel's character is always the ace card in the deck when it comes to running the show in any story. The user's writing ability itself has increased quite tremondously throughout the past year and could be easily seen doing so with the article's constant updating. With the amount of work that keeps going into it now, I'm pretty sure that Stel 'Vadam of the Vadam clan is not going to be forgotten for a very long time. Tuckerscreator (stalk )
 * 2) I agree wholeheartedly with Tucker on this one. From the experience of someone who's invested the majority of his work on this wiki in a single character, I can tell when someone is really devoted to their character and Stel and his namesake definitely fit this particular bill. Furthermore, I think that giving the award to this article will prove that the annual awards aren't just reserved for users with extremely good writing skills. The effort put in from other dedicated members of the community should also be observed and rewarded.
 * 3) As per nomination. Furthermore, the effort placed into this article is substantially high and is well on its way to be this year's best Covenant character of the year. Well done.  There is no glory without honour
 * 4) I agree as well. His devotion and effort for the writing of his character needs to be truly noted and should be rewarded for his actions.
 * 5) Perhaps the single best example on the site of an author's improvement. Truly proof that people can improve and be useful, no matter what they act like originally. Props. --Do not insult me. 07:04, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) An article into which an exceptional amount of time and dedication has been put; thoroughly deserving of recognition.
 * 7) Anything I can say is already said! Jawsredfield 19:10, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) One of the best articles on here, seeing as how this lone character has made appearances in countless stories, articles, etc. --Gunnery Sergeant Pete Stacker, UNSC Marine Corps 19:18, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Blargy blarg Honk Shivly

 * Name: Richard R. Hunt
 * Author: RichardRHunt
 * Nominator: Rozh

Voting (2)

 * 1) Richard's Richard is an exemplary example of a civilian character. His detailed, expansive experiences with the Office of Naval Research truly make for an interesting read as well. One may best summarize ol' Rich's article as "incredibly brilliant, yet utterly insane," although definitely more the former than the latter. >:3 -- <font color="#888888">• TARADIAN  <font color="#888888">NITEMARE  •  06:55, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * Name: MJOLNIR Mark IV Powered Assault Armour/Vajra II
 * Author: Specops306
 * Nominator: Specops306

Voting (3)

 * 1) Combining three major elements - the pre-Reach confusion over the Mark IV and the different variants, the presence of advanced features on pre-Mark V suits, and integrating it into Operation: VORAUSSICHT and my wider Labyrinthverse. Its something I'm quite proud of, and I feel that I've imbued it with a nice sense of history and realism. Of all the articles I would self-nominate, this tops my list.

Voting (1)

 * 1) One of the few truly epic articles on this wiki. It's deep, well-written, fresh, innovating and breath taking. This surely places Matt as one of the foremost authors of this wiki. He is truly under-appreciated and deserves this award with this gargantuanly amazing article. <font color="#7F007F"> Joshua <font color="#7F007F"> (Talk) <font color="#7F007F"> (Contribs) 11:50, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Taradia (Rozh)

 * Name: Federated Commonwealth of Taradia
 * Author: Rozh
 * Nominator: SPARTAN-118
 * Description: Aye, here is an outstanding example of an article on a planet - one that has quite a pretty history, that is noteworthy upon itself. But thats only the tip of the metaphorical iceberg - the article elaborates on the culture, geography, military, and notable habitats of the planet, among many other little details. All in all, I believe this to be a article of very high quality, and deserving of an award in the Third Annual Halo Fan Fiction Awards.

 * Nominator: Lordofmonsterisland

Voting (1)

 * 1) SPARTAN-II's only? Pfft. ONI was never so narrow-minded. We've got SPARTAN-II's, III's, LEONIDANS, TROJANS, and best of all VOLSUNGS, epic B.A's with massive power-suits ready to grip you to pieces if you say no. But in all seriousness, VOLSUNG really is an amazing article: not only does he explain the project thoroughly, he expounds upon the VOLSUNG-TROJAN rivalry, incorporates Project VAJRA, and involves them in Operation: VORAUSSICHT. VOLSUNG's all over SpecOps' universe, even if it's mostly behind the scenes. -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  <font color=#777777>The Lost Books 17:36, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * Name: Raak'ezh Warrior Creche
 * Author: Specops306
 * Nominator: Tuckerscreator

Voting (1)

 * 1) The article is still ongoing but it gives a fascinating look into the Covenant side of the Human-Covenant War, and even within such an expansive description you can still see the individual histories of every battle and character shining out. The Raak'ezh are ripe for a VORAUSSICHT-esque expanded world and once again Specops demonstrates his knowledge of canon and knowledge of history.  Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk )

 * Name: The Swarm (Athena32)
 * Author: Athena32

 * 1) I find this race to be exceptional, it is one of the more interesting races in AAO. Echo 1125 15:40, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Human Nature (Jawsredfield)

 * Name: Human Nature
 * Author: Jawsredfield
 * Nominator: Rozh
 * Description: A very expansive article detailing a progressive rock band that flourished in the post-Human-Covenant War era. Its conceptual originality is complimented by its exploration into some aspects of the civilian culture of the Human sphere.

Voting (6)

 * 1) As per my nomination. <font color="#888888">• TARADIAN  <font color="#888888">NITEMARE  •  00:21, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Well, I am hoping that the fact I'm expanding more Human Civillians and what they begin to feel during the post Human-Covenant war era with Human Nature helps to show that not everything has to be war related. Jawsredfield 11:39, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) A long-running, well-renowned article that should get recognition in annual awards!
 * 4) Human Nature is a very diverse concept, and unlike any other I've seen on this site during my time here. Not to mention, it defiantly deserves recognition, as it is as great as it is different. BOO! Hah! Gotcha. 20:11, December 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I'm in the band...how can I say no? But, seriously, awesome page and certainly one of the more original articles on this site. Ducktank Part 2 is also a pretty addition to the Human Nature story.
 * 6) We've seen Spartans, we've seen ODSTs. We've read about virtually every possible fight and every piece of technology available. But how many bands have we seen before? That in and of itself is worthy of my vote, and the quality of article and effort put into it only assures that my vote stays with it. --Do not insult me. 20:30, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * Description: I admit this is a first since it's directly out-of-canon here, but I’m choosing to nominate it because of what it represents as a personal tale. Poetry is a rarity on Halo Fanon but when I wrote it I hoped to illustrate the binding framework that makes us our community of this special wiki. Our admin Subtank is that glue holds us together, and while the news of her leaving turned out gratefully to be false alarms, there’s no denying she brings out the best of all of us. That’s what I hoped to illustrate by writing this poem.

 * 1) It's lulzy, and a good poem. Anything that can make me laugh is awesome. Norman-123 15:35, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Operation: VORAUSSICHT (Specops306)

 * Name: Operation: VORAUSSICHT
 * Author: Specops306
 * Nominator: Lordofmonsterisland
 * Description: Has VORAUSSICHT been nominated elsewhere? Yes. But the truth is, it's so much more than a roleplay. At times, it was a novel, at times a community project, and at times just a really neat article about an operation to dig up ONI's treachery. This right here was the first of its kind: we'd discussed the possibility that ONI might've screwed up SPARTAN numbers (and that's all VORAUSSICHT was originally going to be about - SPARTAN numbers being screwed up), we even made a way for some to get around that problem, but VORAUSSICHT looked into everything in depth, and found out ONI was more than a little corrupt. I mean, come on, how could a guy named Dracula be good anyway? And then there's the Xenomorphs of course; that's a real nice touch to the chaos. And since it's not over yet, we're still not sure just how bad everything really was/is, or how bad it'll get.

Halo: Side Factions (Subtank)

 * Name: Halo: Side Factions
 * Author: Subtank
 * Nominator: Subtank
 * Description: A theoretical Halo game that features ODSTs and establishing a bridge between the events of Halo 2 and Halo 3 from their perspective. The concept of having the players taking the role of the ODSTs instead of the SPARTANs was conceived even before Bungie announced Halo 3: ODST. HSF has been in development for two years and has often been described as the game article paragon for the site. The authors are currently working on the campaign script.

Operation: VORAUSSICHT (Specops306)

 * Name: Operation: VORAUSSICHT
 * Author: Specops306
 * Nominator: Tuckerscreator
 * Description: Is it any surprise to see Specops’s name here again? More seriously, though, this work has introduced a whole new look on the Human-Covenant War, bringing in deception, dark secrets, even more of the treachery of the rogue of ONI, and the outnumbered agents and soldiers who have to stop it. And Xenomorphs. Can not forget Xenomorphs. Did I mention Xenomorphs? Versus Spartans. Yes, Xenomorphs.

 * This Roleplay has just begun a few days ago and we've already had over 50 some posts! Loosing Hope has been one of the most-influential RP's of late-2010, and hopefully, it will continue long into 2011! I would like to thank all of our active contributers for all of their hardwork, and having them give Losing Hope a chance at the spot of Best Roleplay of the Year!
