Ok, I was up late a couple nights and this idea came to me. So here's how it goes...
We've probably all seen or at least heard of the show 'Last Comic Standing' where comics compete against each other for a shot into the big comedy community and some TV time. You know one of those oh-so-popular-but-not-really reality shows. Well I'm just going to give that idea a dash of my own special plot twists.
The basic structure will stay the same. I'll 'borrow' some newsies from the lodging house and keep them together away from the troubles of selling until they are eliminated.
And this is where you come in. Every chapter will end (except for the first) with a head to head competition. Whoever receives the most votes from my lovely reviews, and yes you must review to vote I'm not a good mind reader, will stay in the story for another chapter.
There is also the immunity thing to deal with, which is likewise decided by you. One newsie won't be bothered by having to test out their wit, performance, and fan base that goes with the competitions. But since it wouldn't be very fair if I picked this lucky individual every time, I'm going to give one of you smart little reviewers a chance to give your favorite newsies immunity. This is how it works. I'll put three lines from a movie or TV show in each chapter (indicated by a * before and after the line). The first reviewer to name the movie/TV show the lines are from will get to vote for who they want to stay.
Another thing, when a newsie starts talking to the camera individually (you know how they have those little inserts through out the show, where one person just bursts out with their own little insights) I will indicate those by putting
*~/\ ______ Insert /\~*
I think that's about it. If anything else comes up, I'll just post an a/n. Now I'm off to do what I do best, host my own fanfiction story. Who needs Jay Mohr when you have me right?
