Writer — Kenny0731
Nominator — Sonasaurus
Date of Creation — January 1st, 2013
Date of Nomination — April 19th, 2013
Date joined — January 1st, 2013
Description — An impressively professional-quality article written by one of our community's more recent users. I was never big on reading about scientific writing in articles, but this has definitely caught my attention.

Definitely a nice article that has a lot of potential --Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy? ^{Saint or Sinner? The Lost Books} 16:59, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
I definitely didn't see this one coming, and I am really impressed by the quality of the work done by Kenny. Fantastic work, and I'll be keenly looking out for any new work of his. - Rainbow Dash ^{(Talk) • (Contribs)} 00:40, July 9, 2013 (UTC)

UNSC Army (Classified series) (2)

Writer — Sierra-012
Nominator — Ahalosniper
Date of Creation — September 3rd, 2012
Date of Nomination — April 18th, 2013
Date joined — September 3, 2012
Description — An expansion of the UNSC Army detailing unit types, taking more than a few elements (like Green Berets) from modern US forces as we've seen elsewhere in canon.

A bit American-centric, but the UNSC does ultimately take cues from the US Military, and the article itself is well written and thought out. Respectfully, -- AR ^Contact _{Contributions}
A nicely laid-out article, easy to read and great detail throughout. Definitely worthy of FotM. 「 Brodie-001: Finished the fight」

Achilles Division (2)

Writer — ODST-Rookie56
Nominator — Sonasaurus
Date of Creation — December 27th, 2012
Date of Nomination — April 19th, 2013
Date joined — December 27th, 2012
Description — It's a shame this article has escaped my notice for so long, because it really does show great skill on the author's part. But that's mainly owing to the fact that this article was posted all in one day and left untouched. Still, I don't think it would be quite fair to let the author's hard work remain under the radar.

Quite in-depth. The format is a little off putting, but it detracts little from the overall quality of the page. »Anonymous ONI agent« ^{[COMMS] [SERVICE RECORD]}

Spartan-A434 (1)

Writer — Cavalier753
Nominator — Ahalosniper
Date of Creation — October 3rd, 2012
Date of Nomination — April 18th, 2013
Date joined — October 3rd, 2012
Description — While this article has a few things to be desired, it's quite a sight for a new user. Reminds me of a number of still-standing Necros Spartans.

There's definite potential in here, in spite of a few teething troubles. Raven's wing (talk) 16:39, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

New Liberty (1)

Writer — Sierra-A143
Nominator — Ahalosniper
Date of Creation — July 7th, 2013
Date of Nomination — July 26th, 2013
Date joined — June 24th, 2013
Description — A well-written and formatted article about a Inner-Outer region border colony. As it stands, the article is fine for linking to, but it could potentially be the start of something with a rich history in the expansion of the UEG.

As per nomination. That Damn Sniper 10:55, July 26, 2013 (UTC)

Writer — Revan180193
Nominator — Sonasaurus
Date of Creation — August 15, 2013
Date of Nomination — August 19, 2013
Date joined — August 14, 2013
Description — One of the still-expanding but better developing articles by our new user community. The content is diverse and fascinating, and although there are some red links present, they're more of an indication of the author's intention to expand his work than of poor quality.

Hell in Paradise: Days Long Gone (0)

Writer — Jacob13Kyle
Nominator — Sonasaurus
Date of Creation — August 20, 2013
Date of Nomination — August 20, 2013
Date joined — June 19, 2013
Description — An excellent in-the-works story that demonstrates the author's ability to write not only with all the proper spelling and grammar that we hope to see in new users, but also the user's understanding to organize the page so that it's easy on the eyes. I'm keeping my vote off this nomination for now since the page has only begun to receive content, but this one definitely looks promising and I don't want to forget about it later on.

2013 Winners

August 2013 — Tal 'Zerex

Writer — The Pale Kestrl
Nominator — Sonasaurus
Date of Creation — April 21st, 2013
Date of Nomination — May 2nd, 2013
Date joined — February 7th, 2013
Description — An in-the-works but promising Sangheili article that's caught my interest. As someone who is fascinated by the character of the Sangheili species, I hope to see that The Pale Kestrl continues to work on this character in the future to earn it additional distinguished titles in the future. In the meantime, here's my nomination for its potential FotM award.

Quite engaging for a rogue Sangheili, and avoids a number of tropes. Hope to see more of him in the future! ^{<Death to Heroes>}[The Damned] [The Lost][The Forgotten]|Deus Ex Ajax
Out of the other articles put up for nomination, this one caught my eye the most. Along with Ajax, I'd like to see more of his character expanded on in the future. --LoyalHaloFan

July 2013 — The Battle of Sydney

Writer — Battle Group Gamma
Nominator — A Fellow Stalker
Date of Creation — April 6th, 2013‎
Date of Nomination — April 18th, 2013
Date joined — April 6th, 2013‎
Description — A tad rough around the edges, but the Battle of Sydney page shows a lot of promise that is rare in a new member. Cleary having a lot of work and inspiration put into it with hopefully a lot more to come (to expand on the great ideas the member has), I can't wait to see what Gamma has in store.

Nominationsies! A Fellow Stalker ^{[MESSAGES] [CONTRIBUTIONS]}
I concur with Stalker.--Minuteman 2492 (talk) 03:39, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
It could use a bit more organization and some fleshing out in a lot of sections, but the pictures used are very good and the foundation for a very well done article has already been laid. Actene: Heaven and Earth
Surprisingly good for a first article, well-written too. Could use a bit of work in some areas, but otherwise worthy of nomination. --Brodie-001

June 2013 — Jonathan-117

Writer — DC Ambrose
Nominator — Sonasaurus
Date of Creation — September 23rd, 2012
Date of Nomination — April 19th, 2013
Date joined — September 23rd, 2012
Description — Some of you may be know DC Ambrose as "that newbie who won an annual award three months into joining Halo Fanon". If that doesn't catch your attention, take a look at this article. The amount of detail and quality placed into this Master Chief expansion article even makes me envious. It's clear that Ambrose doesn't intend to mess around while he's here, and I believe this article in particular is deserving of recognition.

This article is probably one of the few canon expansion articles that has absolutely obliterated my mind. The amount of detail is groundbreaking and extremely well-organized. Without even knowing him, I've already got a plethora of respect for the guy. This article? A shining example of what can be done with brains and a keyboard. Don't touch anything. Move along, citizen.
As per nomination. Sonasaurus | Talk • Contribs
Definitely not what I was expecting for a "117 expansion article." To echo Stel, it was rather mind-blowing. There's room for improvement, but the sheer amount of information and storytelling involved here warrants recognition. Strength through paranoia.
As per nomination. --I'm hungry, can I have food? (talk) 19:44, May 2, 2013 (UTC)
I've got a few qualms with the article, but they're mainly just small details, while on the whole it's a dang impressive article. Keep it up, DC. That Damn Sniper 08:33, May 4, 2013 (UTC)
As per previous commentary. Auguststorm1945 (Talk) 19:29, May 27, 2013 (UTC)

May 2013 — Red Letter Days

Writer — A Fellow Stalker
Nominator — Sonasaurus
Date of Creation — January 11th, 2013
Date of Nomination — April 8th, 2013
Date joined — January 11th, 2013
Description — An in-the-works story that's already proving to be very interesting and has a number of relevant subpages that also show great promise.

As per nomination. Sonasaurus | Talk • Contribs
This'd be a work that really is deserving of more reads, and therefore, deserves promotion by FotM. That Damn Sniper 04:45, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
As per the above. Strength through paranoia.
While the organization leaves something to be desired, the overall worldbuilding is something I find to be quite enjoyable. --Do not insult me. 06:58, April 21, 2013 (UTC)
A well-written piece of work that occasionally flickers with brilliance; highly original with its own lore to accompany the tale. A new talent has emerged, indeed, all the writers within the nomination pool are the strongest newcomers the site has had for a while. The future looks strong.

I've read a bit of the stories and Lore here, and I must say, it's very interesting, to say the least.--I'm hungry, can I have food? (talk) 01:34, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
