"Are you ready to film the promo?" A woman asks the room in which she is currently sitting behind a large ornate desk. "We've only got about an hour on set today before security kicks us out so we've got to be quick." She says to her crew who nod as she takes a deep breath and runs a hand through her deep brown hair. She shuffles some of the papers on her desk as a crew member in an orange shirt quickly rushes in to touch up the makeup around her equally dark brown eyes.

"Thank you Freddie." She smiles as the crew member nods and scampers away out of shot as the camera men do their final checks.

"Okay Addison Reed, Total Drama Academy promo shoot, take 1." Came the voice of the director. "And… Action!"

"Hello viewers sitting at home…" The woman, now revealed to be Addison begins, "Yes… you!" She points into the camera. "If I ask you to name the most influential piece of reality television in recent history, I know that you're all going to say Total Drama!" She begins with a practiced smile."I'm here to tell you that that thought of yours is absolutely correct."

"And then your next thought will be… 'Wow I wonder where that show went! I loved it!" She says with an exaggerated thinking face. "Don't worry! I know the answer to that one! It's right here!" Addison laughs as she gestures around.

"My name is Addison Reed, and I'm here at the McCulloch Academy for Gifted Students here to offer you guys at home a once in a lifetime opportunity. The chance to come here and compete amongst your peers for the grand prize of one million dollars!" Addison smiles, confidence pouring out of her as she speaks to the cameras.

"Total Drama is coming back once more to bring joy to you and those watching you at home! You will come and live here in the academy while fighting tooth and nail against your peers to be the last one standing. Who can ask for me?!" She smiles. "Applications are officially open! So make sure that you fill in your form and send it off as soon as possible! Wouldn't want you to miss out would we?"

The sound of a bell rings throughout the room.

"Oh. There's the bell! That means it's the end of my time here. I look forward to seeing you when school is back in session right here on Total Drama Academy!"

"Okay Cut!" The director yells as Addison slumps in her chair with a content sigh.

"I think that should get us more than enough applicants." She smiles as she stands up and leaves the room.

Hi everyone! My name is Star! I've been a lurker on this site and specifically in the Total Drama Fandom for a fair bit of time but recently I've been inspired to start my own series. This is my brainchild in that respect I suppose.

This is an SYOC and therefore I am looking for your OCs to write into this story! You can find the form On my profile! and I would like it if you could please send me applications to my PMs! This allows me to easily access them again during the writing process.

I plan to accept 16 OCs and will be updating this chapter as and when I decide to include people in the story - I will reply to your PM as well if you get in but please do not expect new chapters every time I post an updated character list.

Okay! Thank you for listening and I look forward to receiving your OCs!

Okay so I can't lie... I received so many good applications that I increased the cast size to 18! I couldn't help myself because I loved every application I read! If you weren't accepted I'm sorry! I had so many good ones and I couldn't accept everyone because then it would have been a ridiculous task size! I hope you join me in congratulating those that got in and I look forward to seeing you all in chapter 1, which I have started writing :)
