 Hello, people of the internet. My name is Johnny. And welcome to a quick little update video and announcement video. I guess I block talks video on myself. I'm gonna try and make this video quick because you all have a very special task to do regarding today's announcement. Long time fans of the Johnny blocks channel might remember this. Back in July of 2021, I announced the Fazzies Awards 2021 winners voted by you and had this great big grand epic trailer. There was gonna be a whole bunch of stuff. Community, big announcements, fan games, special guests, and of course a whole bunch of awards. Though the show never ended up happening back in 2021, but if you've been following my Twitter and you've been taking a look at the community posts here on the YouTube channel, you'll know that very recently I announced the comeback. In 2021, I announced a passion project of mine. While it unfortunately never got to see the light of day, three years later, it's finally time for the big show. 2023 may be over, but the year FNAF always comes back. I'm very excited to announce the return of the Fazzies and attached to that tweet was a very open Google document, which I'm not gonna go through all of it in this video. I'll leave it linked down below if you wanna give it a read. But it basically went over the background of the show, the reason why the 2021 show never came to be as well as the exciting announcement of the revival, which goes into a whole bunch of changes I made to hopefully make people feel a bit more confident about the show. Like I said, it's a passion project of mine. It's something I've been working very, very hard on, especially these last several months. And I got a lot of people asking what is the Fazzies? What are the Fazzies? It's basically just an award show hosted by me, created by me, featuring a whole bunch of other FNAF creators, announcing the categories, announcing the winners. It's basically my way of just getting a whole bunch of amazing FNAF creators into one single live streamed event. And it's also a fantastic way to celebrate and honor everything that the FNAF franchise and its community has achieved in the past year. So that's why it's an award show. I've set up an official Twitter page now, which has over a thousand followers, which I'm extremely, extremely grateful for. Literally, I was like, all right, if we get like 200 followers before the show happens in March, I'm happy with that, but we got a thousand, which is crazy. So I'm gonna leave the Twitter link down below. There's also a brand new YouTube channel for the Fazzies. This is where all the highlights of the show are gonna go. The acceptance speeches for all of the winners, you know, stuff like that. So you may be asking, what the hell are the categories for this year's award show for the Fazzies? Well, there's actually five categories of categories. There's 2023 official categories, which celebrate the official releases of various FNAF media, like the games, the books, the movie, 2023 community, honoring the members of the community and the works that they made throughout the year of 2023. And also because this is the very first show we're doing, we're doing something a bit unique. We're having two legacy categories. One for the official releases, one for the community. I'm gonna go a bit more in depth on what those legacy categories are and all the other categories in a second. And lastly, there's also the most anticipated category. So let's now go in depth. What exactly are inside of these categories? Well, voting for nominees is open right now. The second that this video goes public, link down below. Go vote for the nominees you wanna see in each category. We're gonna be going through the form to show off the various categories. What exactly they mean. Your submission on this form will be used to determine the final nominees in each category. If you are uncertain of a nomination, you're able to skip a submission for that category. And I've also made it so you can edit your responses later on until the submissions close on February the 26th. So starting off with the 2023 official categories, we have Merchandise Company, Merchandise Line. We have Tales from the Pizza Plex Stories. There were four Tales books that were released in 2023. So there's a lot of stories to pick from. Book and novel, book protagonist, as well as book antagonist. And if you couldn't tell already, there are descriptions under each category. So if you're unclear, like what exactly does this title of the category mean? Those descriptions are there to help you out. So we got Movie Moment, Movie Easter Egg, Movie Character, The Game Moments as well. Favorite Help Wanted 2 Level, Favorite FNAF Game that released in 2023, Human Characters, Animatronic Characters, Fan Favorite Locations, Fan Favorite Character Voices, Jump Scares, Trailer, Soundtrack Song, as well as Release of the Year. Moving on now to the 2023 Community Categories. First up, we've got probably the best category of the entire show, the best meme category. Then we have Fansong, Fansong Artist, as well as Fan Games. 2D Artist, 3D Artist, as well as Physical Artist, which doesn't actually mean they're artists who put up a fight. That includes stuff like Cosplay, Prop Making, and Metronic Engineering. Like I said, these descriptions help out a lot if you're confused about a certain category. But we've got Fan Writer, Theorist, the Next Level Player Award, Rising Superstar, Breakthrough Creator, International Creator, which I do want to clarify a few points about these three categories in particular. Rising Superstar is a category for creators with zero subscribers or followers to 100,000 followers or subscribers. And then Breakthrough Creator is everyone above that threshold of 100,000 followers. And lastly, for 2023 Community, we have the Creator of the Year Award. I feel like that's gonna be one of the most anticipated, you know, most hyped awards of the show. And like I said, because this is the first Fuzzy show, we're doing something pretty unique with our legacy categories. There is a lot of legacy categories, though we're doing this because, like I said, it's the first show. Future shows, if they happen, will not have nearly as many legacy categories. I think the legacy categories in total make up about half the total categories in the show. So these will you might rapid fire through during the broadcast, you know? But I still wanted to honor the past and the legacy. You can see why I called it that, of the FNAF franchise as well as its community. So that's why there are just so many legacy categories this year. Once again, future shows, if they happen, will not have nearly as many legacy categories, I promise. But we've got stuff like Fazbear Fright Story, details from the pizza black stories, book, novel, protagonist, antagonist for the book. You're gonna notice a lot of repeating categories from the 2023 years. Gaming moment, game easter egg, legacy game, legacy human character, animatronic character. Animatronic variant, that's gonna be like your withers, your toys, your classic animatronics, your fun times, your glam rocks, you know? The phantoms, the nightmares, just a whole bunch of the twisted characters. Just a whole bunch of animatronic sets. Location, trailer, teaser. We added teaser for legacy because 2023 and especially modern FNAF just kind of gave up on teasers. So legacy teasers is really gonna honor those old Scott game and FNAF World teasers, you know? Then we got legacy song, jump scare, character voice. And then we have a few categories that will most likely, again, only happen for this show and never again. Just cause I don't think we're gonna get too many new troll games, spinoff games, and DLC added in the future to keep, you know, coming back for future Fazzies. And especially, special delivery skins. We're definitely not getting any more of those anytime soon. Legacy community is pretty short, but these are most likely going to be recurring categories. Anyway, we got legacy song, legacy fan game, and legacy creator. And lastly, we have the most anticipated categories, fan game, most anticipated book, most anticipated fan verse title. There's a whole bunch of those, most anticipated game. And then most anticipated release, which much like the release of the year for 2023, involves every piece of media release for FNAF, games, movies, books, et cetera. I've been working incredibly hard on this show and I want it to be the best it can possibly be. I'm already blown away by the support so far and I cannot wait to see how the show goes this year. And it's your part now. Like I said, the link to the submissions form is down below in the description. Go submit your nominees. The form closes in a week from now on February the 26th, so that should give you plenty of time to cast your votes. The rest of the week for the 26th, we're gonna be tallying up all of people's submissions, tally up to see who the nominees are, reach out to the people, and see, hey, do you actually wanna be a nominee? And then hopefully that weekend, the second or third of March, I revealed the actual nominees. And then the fourth is the goal of when voting for the winners actually takes place. So that is how the show's gonna run. But I would definitely recommend following the Fazzies Twitter page, which that's gonna be linked down below for future updates regarding the show. I just wanna give another massive thank you to everyone who's been so supportive of the show. Like I said, it's a passion project. You know, 2021 didn't go so well for the show, but things are looking up this year and I am very, very happy. So thank you. So go submit your nominees. Thank you all so much for watching this video and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye.
