Total Drama Author 4

A lot of people think that they are great authors. Over half of these people are mediocre. This is not only a camp where people are getting their writing skills improved but they are competing to be the best author.... Who will prove that they have the skills? Who will crumble under the pressure? Who will rise to the occasion?

'''This... is... TOTAL! DRAMA! AUTHOR! 4!!!'''

How It Works

 * 1) Two teams of nine people each will be constructed.
 * 2) The teams will compete in challenges. (i.e. Write a story where Lindsay and Tyler break up OR write a story where Beth suddenly becomes popular OR write a story about the contest itself.)
 * 3) Sunshine and Chimmy will read and judge the stories, and determine which team wins.
 * 4) The winning team is invincible!
 * 5) Sunshine/Chimmy (Whoever judged the losing team) will pick whoever was the best author on the team that week.
 * 6) The best person on the losing team will pick two of their teammates to be up for elimination.
 * 7) The bottom two will give reasons to stay in the game.
 * 8) Nalyd will determine who goes home (The only guarantee that one is safe is if they're on the winning team, or they win an individual challenge).
 * 9) Repeat the above steps.
 * 10) Later in the game, there will be a merge, and the two teams will become the Best-Sellers.
 * 11) More challenges, stories, elimination.
 * 12) One author will be left and will be declared the best author ever!!

Week One Chat
* scene opens up to an epic stadium*

Announcer:Welcome to...TOTAL! DRAMA! AUTHOR! 4! *contestants come out of opening in dome to thunderous applause, but the backdrops fall over, revealing a random mess hall, and Sunshine playing a track of applause*

Nalyd: ...I said a big, giant stadium, Chimmy! What did you do?

Chimmy:How would you spend 2 bucks?! (XD)

Nalyd: *brings everyone into a library* You will all be staying here in the library for the next give or take sixteen weeks! FOUR MONTHS OF WRITING! Have fun. *leaves and goes to office*

Anonymos: Fortunately for me, those four months won't be anywhere near the period of time when I have to leave for the annual three weeks.

GM: Well, hi!!

NIzzy: Hiya guys!

GM: Hi NIzzy!!! *goes around and greets himself to everyone* (XD)

Turnertang: I'm back everyone! (Does a handstand)

Chimmy:*hops in* Hey, guys! Hey, I actually recognize most of you this time! (XD)

Shane: Um, hi guys! *starts to read a book*

GM: Hey, Shane!!!

Cards: Hey guys!! I'm ready to write!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! I thought I should do that now! Chimmy, are we going to have to write around Christmas????

Shane: Hey GM! I can't wait to start this. Hopefully, it's not due today.

Dark:*a diffent bus comes in and Dark comes out with his staright jacket and black angel wings* um can someone get my things?

Koops: Oh. My. GOD!!!

Dark: WhaT?

NIzzy: O.o

Dark: Fine i am suppose to be a darker clone of this pixie named um Brightshine Pasta.

Cards: *points at Dark* HI!!!!!!!!! *releases Dark from straight jacket*

Chimmy:Sorry, guys, IDK when the challenge will be up! :(

Dark:Okay oh do you guys know any pixis here because i am suppose to be a clone of one it's called or close to Brightshine Pasta?

Chimmy:Oh, you mean Sunshine! ^^. Yeah, she's co-co-hosting! (XD)

Dark: Sunshine? hmmm no wonder i am the dark angel of here (Dark angel: born at the same time as the pixie is the copy of it but bears no relationship or DNA to each other but the same age as it and hair color(kinda).Did i just gave out the Dark Angel thing?

Chimmy:Yup! (XD)

Dark-Meh,I am already got out of Demon Angel Jail so i am loose out in this place luckily they cant catch me here.

Cards: I have a question Chimmy, on the rules when it says that the only guarantee that you are safe is if you win invincibility or if your team wins, but if you are the best author on the losing team, and you pick 2 authors to be put up for elimination, doesn't that mean that the best author on the losing team is safe too?

Tdafan:*arrives*Hey everyone!Great to be back!

NIzzy: Fan of TDA! Nice to see you!(XD FAIL)

Cards: HHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chimmy:IDK Cards, I don't really know how this thing works yet...but I assume you would be!

Chimmy:*jaw drops*

Shane: My first challenge! I'm so excited! I'll work on it now. I hope my story will be okay.

Jason: Hey NIzzy. Whats up?

CK11: 2nd story! YES! (XD)

Chimmy:*o.o's at the image names XD*

Kenzen:I am very nervous

Shane: FINALLY DONE! I hope it's good.

Jason: It's funny how were all doing it tonight, when it's due by thursday.

Dark: I might fix mine but meh.

Kenzen:Hows mine

Chimmy:*does her best not to get involve, but is still failing XD*

YP: Hey, guys! I love writing! I can't wait to get into this camp!

Ezekielguy: How do you guys like mine so far?

Tdafan:Mine`s done!

GM: Mine's done it'll be posted tomorrow my 7 page story.

Tdafan:*watches a movie*

Weblykinly: Hey, sorry I'm late but I'm here.

CK11: *notices the absence of Nonny's story* He's probably writing it.

Cards: Well, it's only Sunday, and it's due Thursday. I'm gonna finish my story tomorrow, that is if I don't have a lot of homework!

CK11: I just write the story the day it is assigned to prevent homework from getting in the way.

Cards: I'm trying to get my stories finished as soon as possible, because last season, I waited til' the last day or two until it was due, and I missed 3 stories last season, and that's what got me eliminated.

CK11 (conf): At the beginning of last season, I counted Chimmy and Cards out. Mostly Cards because I saw Chimmy write. I still counted Cards out, but then he placed sixth. He's a good author overall. That means he'll be tough to beat.

CK11: Same, but I only missed one.

Cards: *goes to finish story*

NIzzy: I usually finish my homework as soon as I get it, so I can spend more time writing my story over a couple of days. :D

GM: My masterpiece is.... uhh *looks at it to choose* (XD)

Tdafan:I personally think my story this week is better than both my stories last season

CK11: Both your stories? *remembers when Tdafan technically saved him from elimination* Oh, yeah... Agreement on that.

Tye: Wow, only 3 people haven't started their stories... and I'm one of them... I feel so special! =D (XD, I have started, but it's just not up here 'cuz I'm actually writing it.)

Tdafan:I can`t wait for results!

NIzzy: Me too. *hi-5's Tdafan*

GM: The results should be soon.

Tdafan:*eats some chips*I`m bored

Dark: Hey TDAFAN theres a bazooka in the hosts lounge

Dark:*concam* I thing i just sent a devil for a bomb

Cards: I'm finished!

GM: (CONF) I hope my team wins.

Dark (CONF): eats a PB and J

Cards: (CONF) I hope the Gophers win! Sorry Bass, but I'm cheering for my team. Last season, my team lost the first challenge, so this season, maybe my team can win the first challenge!

Tdafan:I can tell it`s gonna be a close decision

NIzzy: *nods*

Chimmy:I think I already know which team's losing, but I can't be certain.

Shane: (CONF) I really hope I don't go first. I'll be happy if my story gets a moderate review, though.

Cards: I already know which team is going to win!!!! It's the [put team name here]!!!

Shane: (CONF) I hope we can we please hurry this up. The suspense is killing me! Also, I want to know the results tonight so I can write tommorow. I'm traveling tommorow and I won't be able to go online much, let alone, type for the compitition. *looks around* Now that I think about it, what's the point of a confessional? Everyone's gonna see it anyway.

Shane: Sorry if I'm being rude. I'm so nervous. AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! *runs in circles*

CK11: *runs up to Nalyd's office but rembers remark* Oh, yeah. *gets caught by booby trap* AAGH! A BOOBY TRAP!

Harold (CONF): *somehow in confessional* He said Boobies!

Producer: Wrong tape! Darn it! (XD)

Tdafan:*waits for results*

Tye: Hey! No waiting for results until I'm done with my story! (XD)

Dark:Tye it's fair because you will get an extra day or something because tomorrow is the results.

Tye: I have another couple of hours. I do my best writing after everyone in my house is asleep, anyways. I don't really know why. (XD)

Anonymos: I don't think the Typing Bass need to nominate anyone, as I am dropping out of the contest. The only reason I joined was so that I could win and prove to myself that I am actually a top author. I realize now that I already am, and don't need the title to prove it. And besides, with me in the running, I don't think I would've given the new contestants a fair chance. So, to the other authors, I wish you good luck; you'll need it in this contest.

Tye: *jaw drops*

Anonymos: I figured I'd get a reaction or two like that...

Tye: You don't need to quit! At least stay in a week or two! (XD)

Anonymos: *Shrugs.* I think I made the right decision.

Challenge One
Okay, since this is a new season, your first challenge is to write a new season premier! We've done new Total Drama Island premiers, but this week you need to write a new Total Drama Action premier! It needs to include all fourteen of the original competitors in season two. You can do any movie genre, any prize, any elimination, as long as it makes sense. You will be judged on creativity, originality, spelling, grammar, and how in-character the characters act. (Since the season one finale, not after all of the stuff in season two, so DJ doesn't have an alliance with Chef, Gwen and Trent are still dating, Harold isn't truly epic yet, etc.) The stories are due Thursday. Sunshine will judge the Gophers, Chimmy will judge the Bass.

Judging
Nalyd: This week, I will judge the Gophers, and Chimmy will judge the Bass. Judging will be done like last season (Not the score out of ten system.) Sunshine, Chimmy, you don't have to have all the reviews done at once, you could post one or two at a time if you want.

Chimmy's Reviews (Bass)

 * Benthegame:This story was funny in parts. For instance, I absolutely LOVED when Leshawna slapped Heather. However, PLEASE don’t use script format from now on. There were some grammar mistakes as well.
 * Ezekielguy:This story was hilarious! The random Alaskan bald man made me LOL, though it did seem a bit of a side-trip to the actual story. Poor Duncan! Unfortunatly, that’s all I have to say about it. You didn’t complete your story.
 * Jason:This story was pretty cool! Izzy was crazy, Lindsay was dumb, and everyone else seemed to be in character. Katie coming back really surprised me! However, you had some grammar mistakes. You shouldn’t put more than one individual talking in the same paragraph, which you did many times.
 * Kenzen:This was awesome! I absolutely loved everything Lindsay said, and Duncan was as awesome as ever. However, you had a ton of grammer issues. The beginnings of sentences weren’t capitalized, people spoke more than once in a paragraph, and so on and so on.
 * NIzzy:This story was really nice! Izzy smashing her guitar on Heather’s head was too funny! However, I’m subtracting points for eliminating Duncan. XD. JK, BTW, but I did notice that you forgot some commas in places.
 * Shane:This is just an awesome story, though I thought you were calling Harold a nerd-ette for a while XD. You gave me a new nickname for Owen, made me laugh at Lindsay and Beth, and I practically died of laughter at the Ezekiel reference. It’s funny at the rendezvous part, because I always joke with my friends about how it’s spelled. The macaroni part connects to my life as well. However, you were missing some commas, and I think you had some spelling mistakes too, ironically.
 * Tdafan: This is an OK story, but….you still had a lot of grammar mistakes. The commas seemed to be everywhere, the beginnings of sentences weren’t capitalized, and all in all, the story seemed a bit short.
 * Tdifan: From what I can see, it was a funny and good story....just not complete.
 * Tyedye: First of all, let me make something clear: I’m pretty sure you amazed us all by finishing your story at 12:30 in the morning. Duncan’s line about cars made me LOL, and I loved the Survivor reference. I personally liked the new voting system better than the old one. You had some slight grammar and spelling mistake, but that is inevitable when rushing.

Nalyd's Reviews (Gophers)

 * Anonymos - The story started off really great, all the characters being used very well! However, the silent movie, while a unique choice, hurt the story as it really didn't have much potential. The challenge didn't ruin the story, but I don't know how much it really helped you... The story got better near the end, but I think it ended kind of weakly. Overall, everyone stayed in character which is awesome, very original, great grammar, and spelling, and this story was a pleasure to read.
 * Cards777 - The beginning was a lot like the real series, specifically Justin, Beth, and Trent. I liked Lindsay missing Tyler, though. I like the challenge idea. The snowball challenge was a great idea. I wish you'd made up Christmas carols instead of existing ones, but it's fine - This isn't Total Drama Carols. The story was original and creative, but their were problems with spelling and grammar.
 * COKEMAN11 - I liked the recap, very funny! Everything before the theme song was great! A girl named Matt... Awesome! The rest of the chapter's content was great, but the ending seemed a little rushed. I think that if you added some content to it, this story would be one of the best this week.
 * Darkdonpatch - Script stories are not allowed in Total Drama Author, however since I forgot to put that in the challenge, I can't deduct for it... The grammar wasn't very good and neither was spelling.
 * GM - The plot to this was quite original and creative. I think everyone was in character. Not many notable grammar or spelling problems.
 * KoopaKidJr. - This story started out without the introduction, and I think you needed one. The rest of the story had the characters very in character. I knew you'd be good at standard format instead of script. Very creative and original. But the ending seemed rushed, as the elimination happened right at the end of the challenge.
 * Turnertang - The grammar error you usually have is ending a quote with a period. The story seemed too short and rushed to be finished. I hope you work on grammar and completeness of the story for next time.
 * Weblykinly - Script stories are not allowed in Total Drama Author, however since I forgot to put that in the challenge, I can't deduct for it... There were grammar problems throughout.
 * YoshiPerson - Don't worry about indenting, it isn't necessary. The challenge was very well written, and very creative and very original and I really like it! Well done!

And the Winner is...
Nalyd: Chimmy and Sunshine, who do you think should be the winning team?

Chimmy:I think the Gophers!

Nalyd: I agree, so the Gophers win! (I'd wait for Sunshine, but I don't think she's on...) The best of the worst is... Tyedye! Well done Tyedye, I'll let you and the Bass talk for a while and decide who to nominate.

Tdafan:*is scared*Don`t nominate me

Shane: I'm a tad scared too.

Tye: Alrighty, Bass, let's do this quick, simple, and in a TDI manner. Vote for one person you think should be in the bottom two, and then the two people with the most votes will be my choice. My vote goes for Tdifan. Sorry, but you didn't finish your story.

Shane: Sorry, but my vote goes to Zeke. You didn't complete your story dude. I'm very sorry.
