Author's Notes and the Prologue
Dear Potential Contestant,
You have been selected as part of a group of youngsters to participate in a bit of a social experiment. By social experiment, I mean making a fool out of yourself for other people's entertainment, bearing witness to hookups and fistfights, indulging in weird and bizarre challenges that more likely than not will either make you sick or give you nightmares for years to come, and all of this is going to be filmed for international TV.
Now, you definitely can't say I didn't warn you. Plus side, you're competing for a million dollars. Think about it; that's a lot of mulah any way you look at it, and you're not the only one thinking about what you could do with that much cash. All you have to do is send in this application and hope you're chosen to star on a reality TV show. Maybe you've seen it before? Total Drama Island? Well, Total Drama is pretty accurate, anyway. Just fill out the attached application and send it in along with your audition tape and documentation for any allergies and health restrictions. Wouldn't do to have you sueing us, would it?
-Chris

A/N: Alright, I'm looking for a fairly diverse cast to play around with. Hopefully I can make this funny and still take it seriously. I'll let you know ahead of time that I plan on giving each character air time, and as a fair warning, the order folks get voted off in will be based more or less on three factors: 1. The strengths and weaknesses of the characters, 2. The natural chemistry the characters have, and 3. The reviews. So you know ahead of time, just because someone's been voted off doesn't mean we've heard the last of them. They'll be popping in from time to time. If there's anything I haven't covered on the sheet you want me to know, go ahead and note it, and give me as much to work with as possible because each cast member is going to get a good chunk of space as an intro.
