Hello there to all those reading. I've read a good amount Total Drama Crososver fics since that's apparently a genre, but they always seem to fall into 2 categories. Great but unfinished or finished but short and not very detailed. There are a few exceptions to this rule but generally that's how it goes. I decided to try and break this pattern. I have a bad track record with Fanfiction myself but let's see if that can't change as well. For the cast list I've settled on 24 since that's how many were in the first season of Total Drama. 12 boys and 12 girls because equal gender makes for better shipping opportunities. Now onto my rules for submitting characters. I'll admit some of my rules are extremely harsh but I feel the reason a lot of these stories don't work out is the initial character selection.

1. There's only about a 5% chance I'll accept a chatacter I don't know. I'll mostly only be accepting characters I know and feel comfortable writing. It is very true that I could look up a character on a Wiki or Wikipedia, but that just isn't the same. It'll either lead to a bad characterization or an early elimination, neither of which would be good. Since there no real way to know what I do or do not know feel free to submit as wide variety as you please. The worst possibility is I don't know and I don't accept. I have a wide variety of interests so it's more likely I will know than won't.

2. Only one character per franchise unless the characters from a franchise in common have not interacted in a canon setting. Basically no characters that know each other. They can know of each other but not directly know each other. Everyone should basically be a stranger.

3. Here's the first harsh rule. You must explain why a character should be accepted. Give a purpose or possible role. If you only put their name and series they will not be accepted under any circumstances. I know it's a harsh rule but if I want this story to work I need ideas before accepting anyone.

4. Clearly say where the characters is from. Both the title of where they come from and type of media such as cartoon, anime, video game, book, movie, etc.

5. No more than 4 characters will be chosen from any given person. That is 2 makes and 2 females. I'm sorry if you have a million ideas, but I don't want this to be made up of a single persons suggestions. Feel free to suggest more than 4 but only 4 will be accepted.

6. No pornographic character suggestions. At all under any circumstances. This should be common sense but if I don't make it a rule some troll may suggest it

7. Second harsh rule. I'll most likely not accept commonly submitted characters. I've read a lot of these stories and have seen a million Deadpools, a million Needles Kanes, a bunch of Ruby Roses, a bunch of Rick Sanchezes, a lot of Azulas. You get my point. I'll only accept one of these or other characters commonly used if you have an amazingly compelling argument for how they can be unique in this story compared to other stories.

8. Not really a rule but a suggestion. PM is a viable way to submit characters. It also let's you speak personally with me before giving your suggestion.

9. Do not Spam characters. It's incredibly annoying and makes me not want to accept them. You have to provide a purpose anyway so spamming is just pointless.

Sorry if my rules are too harsh but I really want to succeed with this story and break the pattern plaguing this genre. Now I have 2 characters of my own. One female and one male. I've suggested them a million times but they've rarely been used so I'm using them myself.

1. Viv Vision from Marvel Comics
2. Shoto Todoroki from My Hero Academia

I won't be updating until the roster is finished because I feel having a bunch of chapters be updates is pointless. You can submit characters for one week. So Monday October 2nd I'll update with the complete roster. Can't wait to see your suggestions and sorry once again for the harsh rules.
