Total Drama Island: Afresh!

I've read several of these "submit your own characters" stories, and I thought that they were pretty cool. I'm out of school for the summer, so I decided that I need a project to keep me busy.

The sun shone brightly over Camp Wawanakwa as the sadistic man known as Chris McLean stepped out onto the dock, and began his walk down it. When he came to about the center of the dock, he turned and faced the cameras with his world-class cheesy smirk.

"Hello everyone out there in TV land! My name is Chris McLean, host of such television successes like Total Drama Island or Total Drama Action. I bet you all thought that I had dropped from the face of the earth since I haven't been on TV in about two months since Total Drama Amazon ended its run. Well, the truth is, I have been staying out of the lime light while I cooked up my latest scheme—uh, season of Total Drama. In seasons past, you've watched as unsuspecting teenagers competed in dangerous challenges all for the sake of some cheesy tabloid fame and a decent amount of money,"

"Sadly, the contracts that I forced the contestants to sign when all of this began have run out, and in order for the latest season of Total Drama to go off without a hitch, we need new victims—er, teenagers to compete! So if you've got nothing better to do this summer, then go to our website and fill out the form and send in an audition tape. I will be judging these videos, and hopefully you'll be standing on this dock with me this upcoming summer!"

Chris threw his hands into the air as the camera panned out to reveal the entire Wawanakwa Island in its entirety.

"You may ask why we're going back to the island. The truth is, after the disaster that we caused on Total Drama College, no one really wanted us. So, instead of begging, which Chris McLean does not do, we decided to head back to our stomping grounds, Camp Wawanakwa! The series is basically being wiped anew with some bubble bath! If you want the chance to meet me and see where Total Drama all began, then sign up now! I'm waiting for your application forms, and hopefully I'll see you this season on Total Drama Island: Afresh!"

A little bit of rules…

1. Actually READ the rules, and don't skim over it to get to the application form.

2. Do not send in characters' that you have sent in to other stories. I prefer new characters that haven't already been used in other stories. However, if you sent in a character to another story, but didn't get accepted, you may submit it here.

3. Originality is key here people. Sure, I'll accept a dumb blonde or queen bee, because those are the necessities, but I don't want everyone to be playing the guitar or having just gotten released from Juvi. The more your character stands out from the others, the better chance you have of getting in.

4. Audition tapes are required and I will be using the tapes to help me style your characters in the story. So, please write them neatly and use proper grammar. If I have to guess what is going on in the tape, then I will not accept your character.

5. I am accepting twenty-two to twenty-six contestants. I'd like to have an even number, with an even amount of boys and an even amount of girls.

6. Before you submit a character, or even think about submitting one, look at the other reviews. See what type of characters that are already being sent in. I don't want twenty Goths for example. While these characters are fun to write for, I don't want an entire series with just Goths. This isn't Total Drama Goths.

7. You may submit two characters maximum. If you submit two characters, they must be one boy and one girl. They may not be a couple, but I am leaning towards a pair of twins, as that would be exciting to write for.

8. Please do not let these characters be exact clones of the original Total Drama characters. Remember, originality is key.

9. At certain points throughout the story, I will allow the writers that sent in characters to vote off a character. This will be done via PM, and in the most discreet manor so that no one's feelings are hurt.

10. That being said (see #9), I will be deciding the elimination order throughout the story. If your character(s) is indeed voted off, please do not take it to heart. And please, stick with the story as the eliminated contestants may show up at the most random points (interns, returning to the game, aftermath hosts, etc.).

11. When filling out the application form, do NOT add the things in parenthesis. It will annoy the living heck out of me if you do, and you will probably not be accepted.

12. All characters are sixteen years of age, unless you have contacted me and explained your reasoning.

13. I will not accept any applications that are sent to me via PM. All applications must be sent in via review.

And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, the application form…
