What if TDI had been played for drama instead of laughs? In this Season 1 reimagining, a former contestant tells the story to her teenage son in the style of The 1,001 Nights. AU. Rated T for mature subject matter, mild profanity, etc. Updates irregularly, usually near the end of a month. 32nd Night: Heather's price, and a bicycle challenge that makes more sense than in canon.

What if Total Drama Island wasn't a campy reality show? What if it was a pitch by the Canadian government for the newest form of entertainment; a more sinister form of entertainment?
