Against the lovely backdrop of a Canadian lake and a wooden dock, a man popped up. He had black neck-length messy hair, dark eyes, and a stubble. He was wearing a dark-green collared shirt over a white long-sleeve shirt and gray cargo pants. "Yo," he greeted as he put on a smile for the camera. "We're coming at you live from Camp Wawanakwa somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario. I'm your host, Chris McLean, dropping season one of the hottest reality show on television right now."

The camera cut to a shot of him walking across the wooden dock. "Here's the deal," he explained. "Twenty-two campers have signed up to spend eight weeks right here at this crummy old summer camp. They'll compete in challenges against each other, then have to face the judgement of their fellow campers. Every three days, one team will either win a reward or watch one of their team members walk down the Dock of Shame, take a ride on the loser boat-" He laughed as a picture of said boat on a sign was dropped down with ropes. "-and leave Total Drama Island for good."

The camera cut to a firepit in a clearing, a group of eleven stumps serving as seating in front of the firepit. "Their fate will be decided here at the dramatic campfire ceremonies where each week all but one camper will receive a marshmallow," Chris said as he grabbed a stick with a marshmallow, ate the marshmallow, and then threw the stick away. "In the end, only one will be left standing and will be rewarded with cheesy tabloid fame-" He held up several magazines with his face on the cover. "-and a-" He put away the magazines and unveiled a miniature treasure chest. "-a small fortune which, let's face it, they'll probably blow in a week. To survive, they'll have to battle-"

The camera cut to a bear swiping at a horde of black flies buzzing overhead while Chris narrated. "-black flies-" The grizzly bear roared. "-grizzly bears-"

The camera cut to a bowl of what appeared to be insect larvae. "-disgusting camp food-"

"-and each other," Chris said as the camera cut back to him before cutting to shots of a camera in a bird nest and a camera taped to the top of a totem pole. "Every moment will be caught on one of the hundreds of cameras situated all over the camp."

The camera cut back to Chris as he finished his intro on the Dock of Shame. "Who will crumble under the pressure? Find out right here, right now-" He pointed to the camera. "-on Total! Drama! Island!"

Yeah, I know this kind of fic ain't unique. A lot of writers have done their own Submit Your Own Character seasons, including remakes of Island. But as a longtime Total Drama fan who has been getting back into the franchise lately, I felt like I would try writing my own SYOC fic.

My rules are that your character has to be human, has to be a teenager, can't be from a different fandom, can't be a Mary or Gary Sue, and applications have to be sent to me with PM. You can send as many characters as you want, but I will likely only accept two at most barring any exceptions made in special cases. And please, don't make your character overly edgy. As for the form...
