~Author's Note~
Welcome to my story, fellow reader! Thank you very much for clicking on it, and I hope that what I'm about to explain in a little bit will capture your interest.
Total Drama: Wild Cruise will take place in an alternate universe where all of the canon seasons, "Island", "Action", "World Tour", "Revenge of the Island", "All-Stars", "Pahkitew Island", "Ridonculous Race", and "Dramarama" do not exist. On top of that, the producers will be selecting twenty-two contestants that are gonna be submitted by different FanFiction writers, making it an "SYOC" story. However, that doesn't mean that the original canon contestants won't be appearing in this story. And in case if you haven't figured it out yet, the competition will take place on a luxurious cruise ship, as it travels around the world on water, and the contestants will partake in challenges that'll occur either on the ship itself, on water, underwater, or even on an island! Of course, Chris McLean will still be the host alongside his buddy, Chef Hatchet.
Now, I'd like to say that even though this isn't my first time writing a story, I am still bound to make mistakes here and there, whether it involves grammar or the story in general. If you spot any errors in my story that you'd like me to fix, feel free to include it in your review or PM (Private Message) me your thoughts. Oh, and some compliments would be nice too, hehe. And I know that many of these "SYOC" stories have been left to rot, despite their amazing potential in some of them, so I won't hold a grudge or get upset if you assume that I would do the same thing. However, for those who are willing to believe that I can do it, then I'll do my best to make this story entertaining!
Lastly, after getting familiar with the Total Drama community on this website, as well as learning more about the "SYOC" application process, I finally have enough knowledge to create a detailed application and a set of rules that will allow me and the producers to choose the correct type of contestants, not to mention preventing the process from becoming chaotic and stressful.
Well, I guess everything that I wanted to say has been covered… so without further ado, here are the rules for the application process and I'll see you in the next chapter! Stay egg-cellent!
- The White Egg
The Official Rules
01. Notice that the application isn't on this page, nor is it in my profile or in the reviews section. To avoid any chaos and mistakes, if you want to apply for this story, just simply leave a review and I'll private message you the application. I don't care if the review is a word long or a paragraph long.
02. Following up on the first rule, since the application will be sent through private messaging, anybody who is a guest or doesn't have a FanFiction account will be unable to apply for this story. And if you do somehow get a hold of the application and leave it in the reviews section, then it will not be accepted, and the review will be deleted.
03. Even though I won't be as strict as some of the other writers when it comes to selecting the characters, that doesn't mean that it'll be a first come, first serve type of ordeal! Depending on how many and how severe the mistakes are, I will either reject or ask you to correct the mistakes.
04. Speaking of characters, keep them as realistic as possible. They must be one hundred percent human, not overpowered to the point that they're considered a Gary-Stu or Mary-Sue, and if they're gonna be a villain, then some redeemable traits.
05. You can submit a maximum of two characters! And no, that doesn't mean two girls or two guys, only one guy and one girl can be accepted from each writer. Oh, and if you get rejected, then you get one more chance to submit another character, so in short, you get two attempts for each gender.
06. And lastly, if you're gonna submit two characters, then please keep them in separate messages! I don't wanna have to deal with reading two applications in one message! If you choose to break this rule, then I'll simply ask you to put one character into a separate message.
