I also said it can motivate people to make games also I really don't get what you mean by "90% of them aren't even real games" because this is a fanon and I can counter you by saying pretty much all of the articles on this wikia are fanmade. Unless there are roughly 250 uncategorized fan games, then no. There are only a little more than 50 of them, total. It's not nearly enough to give them their own dedicated awards. I didn't say anything about characters though.

Let me explain what I meant. Look at all the fan games around on here. How many of them are actually being worked on ? How many of them can you actually play? When people say fan characters, they generally think of fictional characters people have simply written about. But when people say fan games, we generally think of an actual game we can pick up and play. (i.e Sonic Robo Blast 2, or Sonic Before/After the Sequel.) There are very few people here willing to go that far, so that's why I said 90% of the fan games on here aren't even real. They're just written articles about what the games would be like if they were.

You knew this, too.

And finally, the Best Fan-game category isn't very popular in the SFW Awards to begin with. Sure you could try to inspire people to make games, but that doesn't mean people will want to go through the trouble of judging them.
