Hello there to anyone reading this. I've read several of these Total Drama Crososver fics, and while they're good most never get finished. I decided to make an account and try my luck at this. Now seeing as how this will be my first fic I apologize if the quality isn't as good as other crossover fics. For the cast list I've settled on 26. Not to many but not to little either. It'll be 13 guys and 13 girls since a big problem I've seen is inequality in gender. I'll also be using the intern idea many have used. For interns I'll have 12, 6 boys and 6 girls, though you can submit a pair and they'll count as one intern. Now for some rules because without rules we would have chaos and we don't want that.
1. I will only accept characters I know and feel comfortable writing. While I could look up a character on a Wiki it isn't the same and will lead to a bad characterization or an early elimination, neither of which would be good. There should be a list on my profile that has most of my interests. Emphasis on most, this list is not all inclusive so you can suggest even if they're not on the list. The worst that can happen is they don't get in.
2. Only one character per franchise with a few exceptions. The reason for this is that I want variety. The only exceptions are Marvel Comics, DC Comics, The Fire Emblem Series, and Star Wars. I feel that these listed have a wide variety of characters and accepting more than one from them will still give me the variety I want to have. I may make more exceptions if I consider it a good opportunity but for now just these 4. Interns may be from the same franchise as a contestant.
3. Account users have priority over guest users. I apologize to guest users for this. I was a guest user so I sympathize with you, but I've seen how the guest system gets abused and I'd hate for that to happen. The priority only means I'll look at account suggestions before guest suggestions, but I will still be fair to guests and take their suggestions into account.
4. Speaking of guest abuse. If any character gets spammed then I won't accept them under any circumstances. They could be the final character I need with a brilliant plan and story but if they get spammed then I'm sorry but no. For the purpose of this spam is anything more than 6 suggestions.
5. No more than 4 characters will be chosen from any given person. I don't want this to be made up of a single persons suggestions.
6. No pornographic character suggestions. At all under any circumstances.
7. For contestant suggestions no real people or YouTubers. It'd just feel out of place. Interns can be real people or YouTubers though.
Now a few suggestions that might help you with getting a character you'd like to see in.
1. Suggestions are accepted via Review or PM. Take advantage of the PM.
2. If you give a purpose that they could have in the story I will be more inclined to accept them.
3. For intern suggestions I'd really appreciate it if you could explain what the interns would do or how they'd help out. Interns are there for a reason. They have a job to do and I'd like to know what you think that job should be.
4. Don't be discouraged by all the rules. Submit as many characters as you want. Again the worst thing that could happen is they don't get in and you don't know until you try.
5. Make it easy to identify where the character is from. That'll improve chances of getting in.
Finally let me explain how I'll be handling the roster update. Right now where are 26 slots, well it's actually 24 as I have 2 characters myself. These are those 2 characters.
1. Jason Todd from Batman
2. Coco Bandicoot from Crash Bandicoot
Now there are 24 spots left. Tomorrow I will have the first update with 8 suggestions taken leaving the total at 16. The next day I'll post 8 more leaving 8 spots left. The day after that I'll post the final cast list after having filled the 26 spots. Interns will be similarly filled in sets of 3 each day. At this rate the final roster will be up on Saturday. Really fast I know so submit quick. Hope you all enjoy the story to come
