You know its one of those days when the world just seems to be going as slow as possible for your personal torture. It's summer vacation, right? Time to swim, throw a party, sleep in every day, and enjoy the freedom from the mind-numbing-ness that is school.

If there is a higher power controlling our every move, he's got a sick sense of humor. You're stuck at home like you have been for the last couple of days. School just barely ended, and your summer plans have gone down to zip. Zilch. Nothing. Nada. Zero. Get the point? It's been either way too rainy, too gloomy, or like on the last day of school, hotter then a sauna that was on fire in a volcano on the sun. All your friends have been busy (doing who knows what) or in summer school, and you still have school hours programmed into your mind, so you're waking up at five in the morning and counting the cracks in your ceiling. Yup. Currently, summer sucks.

You flip on the T.V. with hope of a thirty minute sitcom with an annoying laugh track and recycled jokes, but –surprisingly- you're mind is spared. And just maybe, your summer. It's one of those ads for the Total Drama series. Practically everyone knows what that show is about. Another one of your reality shows that put a group of strangers together for a competition, which gives the winner a boatload of cash. Seriously. A boatload. You saw it on the final three episode of Total Drama Island.

You finally pay attention to what the commercial is saying. A guy who looks like he's spent way to much time with his hair is smiling at the camera. He's that conceited host of the show, Chris Mclean. Probably the most famous host out there.

"I am the famous host of the Total Drama series, Chris Mclean!"

He's modest, too.

"Here's the deal. After Total Drama Island, a million of you viewers asked to be on our show, including this one dude from Milwaukee who sent us enough letters to fill a post office. Not that I blame you guys and Mr. Milwaukee. This show does have me, of course. But let's face it, we weren't exactly done with our original gang!" He hesitates for a moment. You suspect he was supposed to say the names of the original campers, but forgot. Go figure.

"But now since all of our loopholes on the campers have run out, and you guys have had an insane demand to see some island in the middle of Muscoka again, we've decided on something that will make you guys scream up and down. So let me get into my sales pitch, and then you see how high you guys can jump afterwards."

You sit up, feeling he was actually going to say something important for once. Today was probably going to be declared a National Holiday because of it. He clears his throat, and suddenly his voice is loud and echoing.

"Do you want to do something for your summer-ummer-ummer? Do you feel like your life is lacking a certain lack of Drama-rama-rama? Do you feel like you need a whole lot of cash–ash –ash?" – Who doesn't?- "Do you want

To be

Famous?"

You don't register the 'amous' echos, because the wheels in your head are turning. You pick up a handy pen nearby and jot down the website where you could print off the sign up sheet. This summer might not be so bad after all…


Yes, I am writing a Send in Fanfic…finally. Over done, but I wanted to do one so bad!

Anyways, I, as the author, promise to you, the readers, that I will finish this story no matter what. I will write it to the best of my ability, and I will try my hardest to make sure that it's a good read. With that promise, can you guys please follow these suggestions when creating your characters?

Rule 1. I really don't like it when character submissions are very bare. I like descriptions and specifications! Be as colorful as possible with your character, make them spark! And if you submitted them before for other stories, the chances of it being colorful to me (I look at those stories a lot) might be slimmer. You know who you are…

Rule 2. Stereotypes are an easy way to recognize your character, but under no circumstances should they just be long annoying titles. 'The Surfer Boy that's Shy but still likes to be Outgoing' or 'The Nature Person that's nice and honest and brave and cool and fun…' or anything like that do not improve your chances of getting in. One stereotype and one only.

Rule 3. Another rule with stereotypes, I would really, really, really like creative stereotypes. For example, my friend ktd123's story 'Total Drama Island: Again!' has many interesting stereotypes such as 'The Scientist', 'Way to Excited to be on T.V.' and 'The British Jock', while GossipQueen101 has 'The Diva Movie Actress' 'The Elvis Presly Fanatic'. Awesome and creative stereotypes, wouldn't you say? I'm not saying I want those, just something creative and new would be great.

Rule 4. There is no limit to how many people you can send in, so go wild!

Rule 5. I do not like the idea of people sending in characters that are related to or know TDI characters personally. So refrain from relations or people they know.

(If you think this sign up sheet is similar to Ktd123's sign up sheet for her 'Total Drama Island: Again!' story [Amazing story, I might add], then you are absolutely right. But in my lame excuse to make up for it, how original can you possibly be when writing a sign up sheet for a TDI story? It's been done a million times.)
