Ladies and gentlemen, fellow fanfictioners, I have a grave confession to make:
This fanfiction is cancelled.
I'm afraid I was in over my head when I decided to do this fic. I thought I could write from the perspective of OCs other people created, but I couldn't. As a matter of fact, I often had trouble writing from the perspective of my own OCs (who, for those that didn't know, were Alex and Jake). Also, I have problems with commitment, motivation, and literary continuity. As such, I will not be updating this story anymore. As a consolation, I thought it would be nice to tell you what I had planned for the story.
For the first "Aftermath" episode, I would reveal one OC that I had accidentaly, at the last minute, removed from the list of contestants (Nicole Hazboun) to be Geoff's cohost. Over time, I would have introduced another of my OCs to replace Nicole if I had decided to put her in show, similar to how Blainely was introduced on the original World Tour. If all played out well, I would introduce a few veteran characters to either help, hinder, or even play alongside the contestants for a few challenges.
What I definitely wanted to see was Bianca S and Jake battle it out in the finale. I know it's pretty self-centered for me to put my OC in the finale, but I figured it would be a good battle, as Jake was the only one in the entire story to refuse to be a part of Bianca's alliance. As in, everyone else was loyal to her until their elimination, and Jake stood alone the whole time.
Something else I had planned involved Alex and Jake's confilct. My plan was to have the conflict left unresolved after Alex got eliminated and then write a side-story where the conflict was finally resolved. Looking back at that, I now figure that that idea was just plain stupid. I would've tried to create more conflicts, but I just failed to understand how the other characters functioned very well.
I'm sorry that I had to end this on a sour note, and I hope you'll forgive me. Just know, I am glad that I was actually able to get some apps for this story. I genuinely thought that my story would be ignored for other SYOC stories done by better-known authors. Thank you for your participation, and once again, I'm sorry it didn't last long.
