AN: This is {not} a familiar story, Now open as an SYOC!
You do not need to have read any of my other Total Drama fics to appreciate and get the full enjoyment out of this one. Consider this a new cinematic universe but for uh, my Total Drama fics. That said, I don't want the same characters, I'd rather not write them again unless it's for a returning season like Saints and Sinners, Resurrection, or Fight of The Favorites.
On a {static}black screen, {more}two messages start to appear.
It's A {Repeated}Brand New Season Of Total Drama!
A {Familiar}New Island!
A camera shot of a tropical island inside of a lake in a greater island settled in the South Pacific is shown. On the southern shores of the island in the lake is a string of white beaches and a small dock. Not terribly far to the west is a beach with a bonfire, and a bridge connecting the small lake island to the larger mainland. A river through the jungle stretches northward, brushing up against the volcanic mountain that takes up the northern edge of the island. On the other side of the mountain, along the eastern edge of the island, is more jungle, this one so dense the canopy is blocking out the majority of the sunlight. Finally, in the center of the island is a vast field, with grass tall enough to reach Chris McLean's waist, as is made evident when the camera zooms in towards the field to reveal Total Drama's long-time host, staring up at the camera with an excited smile.
"Welcome to Camp Nui Kaua!" He exclaims with glee. "Thanks to {hello?} its location, we're technically off the grid, so we don't need permission to film here {it would not be given}! Really cuts down on the {completed} paperwork!"
The camera cuts off and text appears on the empty background once again.
This {this is} Season: Four Teams!
"You'll each be divided into teams based on the four elements of nature!" Chris's voice can be heard saying, before the {familiar} team names and logos are shown, each taking up one corner of the screen.
Water Team-The Killer Waves-(L{you}ogo: Blue Orca)
Earth Team-The Vi{have}olent Quakes-(Logo: Green Mole)
Fire Team-The Raging Flam{to}es-(Logo: Red Dragon)
Air T{remember}eam-The Screaming Winds-(Logo: White Eagle)
Then, one message in golden letters appears over the screen showing the team logos:
It's A{nother} Zero Sum Game!
Chris's voice picks back up again "This Season, the Win{they}ning Team gets to spin the Wheel of Reward, and take over one of the luxuries from the Losing Team! Try to get something that'll help your team{remember}'s camp life!"
T{what}he camera cuts to a shot of a large w{will}heel-of-fortune style wheel, with sixtee{you}n spokes, each spoke revealing a different c{choose}amp amenity.
Starting at the top of the wheel there was,
1: A {worn down} Team Cabin
2: Chef Making a {once} Standard Breakfast
3: {Old} Mattresses
4: A {Torn} Team Couch
5: A {Rusty} Team Shower
6: A {Derelict} Team Outhouse
7: A {Crumbled} Chicken Coop
8: {Mildewy} Personal Towels
9: A {Broken} Charcoal Powered Grill
10: A {Mended} Bag of Charcoal
11: A {Degraded} Canoe
12: A {Dulled} Fishing Spear
13: {Outdated} Snorkeling Equipment
14: {Non}Self-Filtering Water Bottles
15: Chef Cooking a {once} Standard Dinner
16: A {Leaking} Team Hot Tub
The camera once again cuts to reveal a new message:
The {Continued} Return of The Invincibility Statue!
"Hidden around the island are various clues to the location of four McLean Immunity Tikis" Chris announces as the camera cuts to show the four small tikis in question, "one for each element, and only usable by {new}original members of that element's team!"
The camera cuts to {static}black again before delivering one final message:
And…
Twenty Four Brand New Contestants!
Dramatic music begins to play as {incorrect} silhouettes of each contestant's body type appear beside their name and the team that they'll begin playing on. Each contestant can be{let} heard{me} saying{say} something{something} as they and their labels are introduced.

The camera cuts to static as two final words appear:
{*Remember Them*}*Coming Soon*
AN: Congratulations to everyone who got accepted. I had to choose from a pool of over 50 characters, and all of them were amazing. I don't know how long I'll keep writing total drama fics after the Tidi-la trilogy is over (don't worry though, haven't started that one yet so I'll still be here for quite a while), but I'd love to be able to use all the characters that I've had submitted to me, because I know you all put a lot of thought and effort into developing them.
AN2: Also I want apologize, since I wanted to use strikethrough text, but, for some reason, it's not available on the FF editor, so hopefully this different font format for the uh, messages, still worked for you guys.
AN3: Once more, I want to reiterate, that this is an alternate timeline to the Renaissance timeline. The Renaissance seasons never aired in this one.
AN4: Now that we have the cast, we can start outlining, but it might be a long while before this fic gets off the ground. We appreciate your patience, and hope to see you when the first episode premieres!
