A/N: Welcome to my first official fanfiction! While I have written fiction in this style before, this is my first formal project and I wish to welcome you all on this journey with me! While I consider myself to be a good writer for the amount of experience I have, I fully recognize that I have flaws. That being said, any reviews would be appreciated (as long as they're constructive or praising my excellence).
Also, any ideas for challenges would be much appreciated! I have an idea for the general story, having already planned the elimination order, but I don't know how to get to that point. So, any ideas for challenges worthy of an all-star season would be much appreciated. Feel free to direct message me or reach out to me through Snapchat or Twitter (tylercapistrano).
Chris Maclean stood atop a yacht sailing overseas as the camera panned towards his back, his hair flapping in the wind. He turned, his face sporting a wide grin as he addressed the audience. "Welcome to the newest addition to the Total Drama Series, Total Drama Fan Favorites. We've heard your feedback, and decided to make this season a combination of all the best parts of the former seasons." He turned, walking down the stairs as the camera followed close behind. "This season, we'll be returning to an exact replica of Camp Wawanakwa," Chris exclaimed, turning to face the camera once more. "Except, we have some upgrades to the format! This season, we're going to have fourteen teams of two competing, and I'm sure you'll recognize some familiar faces. 'But Chris,' you ask, 'Don't the campers hate it here? Why would they ever come back?'" Chris mockingly asked, his voice a disturbingly high pitch as he impersonated the viewer. "Well this year, we have 28 of the best contestants this show has ever seen competing for one billion dollars!" Chris paused for dramatic effect, letting the implication of his statement sink in. "Now that we've revealed their motivations, let's introduce our contestants."
Chris gestured to a door behind him where Chef stood waiting. Chef opened the door, revealing the darkness within. "First, we have our first contestant, placing 10th in Total Drama Island, 15th/14th in Total Drama, and 16th in Total Drama World Tour. You know her as the surfer girl who can't get enough of her boyfriend, pardon me, fiancé, give it up for Bridgette!" Bridgette walked out of the darkness, smiling at the camera and giving it a slight wave, revealing the engagement ring on her finger. She walked past Chris, her bright expression darkening slightly at the sight of him.
The camera panned back to Chris, as he introduced the next competitor. "Next up, we have our second contestant, finishing in 17th on Total Drama Island and 3rd in Total Drama World Tour, give it up for the Code-meister!" Chris exclaimed, pausing after the final word. "The cue card's words, not mine." Cody jumped out of the dark room, firing imaginary shots at the camera as he walked past Chris, attempting to give him a high-five and missing.
"Next up," Chris said, "finishing in 14th in Total Drama Island, 4th in Total Drama Action, 7th/6th in Total Drama World Tour, and 5th in Total Drama All-Stars, give it up for Courtney!" Courtney walked out of the darkness, barely glancing up from her PDA as she walked onto the deck, ignoring the other competitors. Cut to the confessional, a well-lit and surprisingly clean bathroom aboard the yacht. "I'm here to win," Courtney said confidently as she filed her nails. "I don't know who my partner is supposed to be yet, but it's easier to convince one person to focus on success rather than a whole team! Do you remember the Killer Bass from the first season?" Courtney asked, a disgusted expression on her face.
Cut back to Chris. "And now," Chris said with a smile to the camera, "Finishing in 4th in Total Drama Island, 2nd in Total Drama Action, 5th in Total Drama World Tour, and 8th in Total Drama All-Stars, please welcome Duncan!" Duncan walked out of the darkness, a grimace on his face as the bright light hit his face. "So, Duncan," Chris asked as Duncan walked past, "How was real prison?" Duncan then turned around, grabbing Chris's shirt and lifting him up off the ground. "Don't … ask …" Duncan warned menacingly, then released the host, walking to his designated spot.
Chris dusted himself off, then turned back to the camera, unperturbed. "Alright, you've seen our next contestant quite recently. Placing 6th in Total Drama Island, 15th/14th in Total Drama Action, and 6th in the Ridonculous Race, give it up for our party boy, Geoff!" Geoff raced out of the darkness, completely ignoring Chris as he ran over to Bridgette. He took his fiancé in his arms and began to passionately make out with her, garnering a groan out of Duncan. "Glad to see nothing's changed," Duncan muttered, shaking his head in disapproval.
The camera once again settled on Chris, as he introduced the next contestant. "One of our strongest competitors has retuned, having placed 2nd in Total Drama Island, 12th in Total Drama Action, 9th in Total Drama World Tour, and 3rd in Total Drama All-Stars, give it up for our favorite goth, Gwen!" "Do I have to come out of the shadows?" Gwen asked, her voice sounding depressed. "It's nice in here!" Chef reached blindly into the darkness, grabbing Gwen and tossing her out onto the deck. "Ow!" Gwen exclaimed as she landed. "A simple 'Yes, you do' would have sufficed," Gwen muttered, dusting herself off and walking over to the group.
"Another strong competitor is next up!" Chris exclaimed, an evil smirk on his face. "Placing 3rd in Total Drama Island, 9th in Total Drama Action, 1st in Total Drama World Tour, and 10th in Total Drama All-Stars, a favorite of the other contestants, give it up for Heather!" Heather walked out, a disinterested expression on her face as she situated herself next to the other contestants. "Nice to see you, losers!" Heather said as she sat down, refusing to look at the competition. "Love you too, babe!" Duncan responded, earning him an elbow in the stomach by Courtney.
"Possibly our most insane guest," Chris said as the camera panned closer to his face, "placing 7th in Total Drama Island, 10th in Total Drama Action, and 13th in Total Drama World Tour, give it up for Izzy! Or Kaleidoscope. Or whatever she goes by now!" The camera sat on the dark doorframe, waiting for her entrance. After a few moments, the camera quickly shifted to the edge of the ship, where Izzy climbed up, water dripping down off of her clothes. "Hi guys!" Izzy exclaimed, pulling a piranha off her arm as she sat next to Heather.
"And possibly our lowest IQ member, the blonde model, placing 9th in Total Drama Island, 6th in Total Drama Action, 14th in Total Drama World Tour, and 14th AGAIN in Total Drama All-Stars, give it up for Lindsay!" Lindsay walked out of the darkness, a warm smile on her face as she waved to the camera. She ran up to Chris, giving him a hug. "Oh my gosh, I missed you so much Connor!" she exclaimed, letting Chris go. "It's Chris!" Chris exclaimed. "Chris Maclean, star host!" "Okay Cameron!" Lindsay exclaimed as she took her seat next to the group.
"And rounding out our representation from the original cast, weighing twice as much as any other contestant, placing 1st in Total Drama Island, 3rd in Total Drama Action, 8th in Total Drama World Tour, and 8th in the Ridonculous Race, give it up for Owen!" Owen tried to run out of the doorframe, but got stuck. Chef had to pull him out of the doorframe, sending him flying towards his fellow contestants. He landed at the feet of Izzy with a loud thump. Izzy reached down, helping him up and giving him a light kiss on the head. "Quite the dent you left there baby," Izzy remarked, pointing at the dent in the ground Owen's impact had caused. "Haha, yeah …" Owen said, a light blush on his cheeks as he sat down, taking up two seats.
"And those are your contestants that debuted in Total Drama Island!" Chris exclaimed as the camera panned over the teens, each with their own version of a disinterested face. "They've been here for the longest, which means that they've dealt with the most pain, but also have the most experience. Will they be able to use that experience to their advantage? Only time will tell!" The camera faded to black as a commercial for Chef's spinoff cooking show began to play.
The show resumed with a shot of Chris in a Captain's hat standing next to the doorframe. "Welcome back to Total Drama Fan Favorites! We've introduced our first ten contestants, our fan favorites from the first season. Next up, we have our contestants that debuted in Total Drama World Tour. First up, we have our dark-skinned male eye candy. Placing 2nd to his love interest in Total Drama World Tour and 6th in Total Drama All-Stars, give it up for Alejandro!" Alejandro walked out of the darkness, smiling for the camera as he walked towards the other contestants. "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen," Alejandro said as he sat down. "I look forward to seeing which of you is my teammate. I hope it is you, my beautiful Heather." Heather scoffed at his statement, turning away to hide her slight blush. "You wish!" Heather exclaimed. "Oh, but I do," Alejandro replied, his standard smirk on his face.
"Next up on the chopping block, I mean our next contestant," Chris said with a chuckle, a sadistic smile on his face, "placing 7th/6th on Total Drama World Tour, is none other than Blaineley!" Blaineley walked out of the darkness, an unnaturally wide grin on her face. "Hello, adoring fans! I'm your host, I mean favorite contestant, Blaineley! I- ""Shut up!" Chris exclaimed, silencing the blonde. "Just go sit down!" Blaineley complied, seating herself with a practiced grace as she sat down next to Alejandro.
"And finally, the representation of all you lunatic fans," Chris said as the camera settled on him once more, "placing 4th in Total Drama World Tour and 9th in Total Drama All-Stars, please welcome Sierra!" Sierra burst out of the darkness, ignoring all the contestants as she leaped into Cody's lap. "Hi Cody-kins, I missed you! Even though it was only a few minutes, I missed you!" Cody chuckled, running a hand through Sierra's hair. "It's alright baby, we're together now." Gwen sat, astonished at the teens' new relationship, and how … mutual it appeared. Cut to confessional, where Cody sat. "Yeah, Sierra and I are officially a couple now," Cody said, a small smile on his face. "I got more comfortable with the overwhelming affection, and now it's really nice to be with someone who cares." Cut back to the deck.
The camera cuts to Chris, standing at the bow of the ship, hair flapping in the breeze. "And those are our first thirteen contestants. Come back after the break to find out who the final fifteen are!" The screen fades to black as another advertisement for Total Drama Action Figures begins to play.
A/N: I hoped you liked the first chapter, a bit of introduction for the original cast members. I really just want to get this story out there, and get some feedback and ideas for challenges. I intend to have the second chapter with the remaining fifteen contestants and their first challenge (and first elimination) posted by the end of the weekend. Bonus points if you can guess the pair that wins (they're my favorite 2 contestants).
