Hey there guys, and welcome to a new SYOC I'm going to be hosting! Obviously, as you can tell by the title, it's going to be a Ridonculous Race SYOC - probably one of the first yet.
First of all, before we get to the application, I want to answer a few questions that YOU might have for me. If you want to skip it then feel free, but I'd appreciate it if you read the final question as it'll help you make a good team.
Q: 'Will Isiphepho Island be finished?'
A: YES. Isiphepho Island is NOT done. It is on a (probably long) hiatus, but I will bring it back to life once I have the inspiration to write more Total Drama (perhaps when Total Drama 6 airs?)
Q: 'Will you cancel this SYOC?'
A: Like Isiphepho Island, I'm going to try to make sure that I will NOT cancel this SYOC. It will have long chapters and be good quality however, so chapters might take a long time to be released (possibly a month per 7-10k word long chapter, but hopefully quicker than that.)
Q: 'What are the chances that my team(s) will be accepted into this SYOC? Any tips to make any of my teams have a higher acceptance-rate in SYOCs?'
A: I'm fussy with who I cast, so it really depends on two things: how deep and detailed your characters are, and if I believe I can use them to make a good story. Remember, if your character/team is denied, it does NOT mean that I don't like them. Chances are, it means that I don't believe that I'll be able to grasp their personalities correctly/they don't match my writing-style... Or, there's another accepted contestant/team that is very similar to them. The tips that I'd give to all of ya'll reading is make your character/team detailed, unique, and interesting. Also, be nice to the writer - chat to them, explain your character/team in more detail than your application shows if you like. It's never nice for a writer to not know the creator of the character they will be writing about.
ALSO, ONLY PM ME YOUR TEAM. THE STORY WILL POSSIBLY BE DELETED IF YOU POST THE TEAM IN A REVIEW AND YOUR TEAM PROBABLY WON'T BE ACCEPTED. THANK YOU.
And, with that, lets get to the application!

Running-Gags: Early on in the race, a witch curses them for (accidentally) stealing her precious necklace. After that incident, taxis cannot see them, so they have to run between destinations which can slow them down a lot.
Anyway, please spread the word and apply (VIA PM PLEASE) thank you!
