A/N So you all seemed to like my one-shot, Rangers. I have no idea why, but ok then. I just noticed something and made a story for it.
Anyways, once you read you'll get the idea for this story, but I'm going to need some help (I'll explain under the chapter)
"Welcome to the first annual Ranger's Singing Contest." Crowley said. "Will talked me into it for the Gathering, but it doesn't mean you have to limit the song you sing! You all have three days to decide and sing your song in front of the other Rangers. Any questions?"
"If it's a Ranger's contest, why's the princess here?" Gilan asked, looking at Cassandra. "Why are there also two members of the diplomatic corps, and a knight here?" He glanced at them, and mouthed 'no offense' to them, and they nodded.
"The princess is here because her father's off traveling and it would've been unwise to leave her in the castle without a Ranger there." Crowley said. "The Lady Pauline's here so the king doesn't have to worry we dragged her into anything dangerous. The Lady Alyss and the Oakleaf Knight are here because I'm getting revenge on Will for talking me into this. Any other questions?"
"Who's going first?" One of the apprentice's asked. "And will we be joining in on this?"
"No." Crowley said. "Just the full-fledged Rangers, and Horace. And as for your first question, Will be performing first, tomorrow morning. And even though you didn't ask, Princess Cassandra, and the ladies Alyss and Pauline shall be the judges."
"Do we have a choice in this?" Pauline asked with a wry smile. "Crowley, how will we choose the winner?"
"You'll listen to everyone, then afterwards, each of you will chose your top five favorites." Crowley said. "Then those fifteen will play another song and you'll narrow it down to six candidates, who will play one more song. From there, you'll decide who your overall favorite.
"Will, you have until tomorrow morning to decide what song to play." Will nodded, mandola already in hand with an eager grin on his face as he glanced at Halt out of the corner of his eye.
A/N So that's the prologue. I have a total of fifty-two contestants that are going to participate, since Will moves back into Halt's cabin and Halt moves into the castle, and the fifty-first ranger moves into Seacliffe.
I believe that Halt mentioned that there are already three other Will's in the Corps? I already have five characters and their songs picked out (Will, Halt, Horace, Crowley, and Gilan), but I need 44 OCs (you can send in official characters so long as they're Rangers) and three people for the other Wills.
Songs will obviously be modern day songs, just basically any song you like can be in here. If your character makes it past round one, I'll let you know via the chapter with Alyss, Cassandra, and Pauline deciding who's continuing, and you comment your characters next song.
Here's the form to send in (you can PM or place it in the comments)
