Total Drama Author 2

A lot of people think that they are great authors. Over half of these people are only okay-good. 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?

Check out all the TDA2 stories here!!

How it Works

 * 1) Two teams will be constructed.
 * 2) The teams compete in challenges. (i.e. Write a fan-fiction where Lindsay takes a hard test OR write a story with Noah attempting to play basketball.)
 * 3) Nalyd Renrut and TDI19 will read the stories and the decide the winning team.
 * 4) The winning team gets INVINCIBILITY!!!!!
 * 5) People (competing or non-competing) will vote for who should go home from the losing team (like American Idol).
 * 6) The judges can save them, but only once, before the merge.
 * 7) Repeat steps 2 through 5/6.
 * 8) When there are ? people left, there will be one team. (The Best-Sellers)
 * 9) More challenges, more stories, more eliminations.

Week One
Nalyd: Welcome all, to TDA2!

Owenguy101: Hiya Nalyd!

Sunshine: I really got in! I really got in!!!! *hyperventilates*

Turnertang: This is going to be awesome!

Fadingsilverstar: Ready to rock, guys!

Anonymos: Good luck all! (To self) You're gonna need it.

Fadingsilverstar: *stands on a mountain while triumphant music plays* THIS. IS. TOTAL. DRAMA. AUTHOR!

TDI19: Hey guys! Good luck on Season 2!!! Isn't it ironic? There are 19 competitors this season!!!

Anonymos: That is weird.

Sunshine: Ccrrreeeepppyyyy... OMG Fadingsilverstar! You did join! Yay, I just lost all chances of winning!!!

Fadingsilverstar: Awww, c'mon! You're a great author! I'll really have to be on my toes if I wanna compete with all of the talent here!

Zeke: Hope I make it farther.

Turnertang: I think you will do fine.

Sunshine: I can't wait for the first challenge! *bounces off walls*

Anonymos: Oh me either!

Fadingsilverstar: Bring it on!

Nalyd: I think you all shoul dno that the teams will be formed NEXT week. This week, three people will be eliminated. TDI19 and I will pick the eight worst stories, and then everybody (competing or not) will vote for three people, and the three people with the most votes will go home!

Sunshine: HOLY RAVIOLIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nalyd: Who will rise to the occasion? Who will set the bar? Who will go home after one week??? I dunno.

Zekey: Did you bring Sunny D with you, Sunshine?

Sunshine: Of course! Little Sunny D is my own personal cheerleader!

Sunny D: *waves ravioli pom-poms* Go Sunshine!!!

Zekey: You know what? NALYD HATES HIM!!!! (Sticks tounge out at Nalyd) BOO!!!!

Tdi: Three people will be eliminated? Dang

TDI19: Well, it will surely be interesting. Nalyd, will I come up with some themes and twists?

Turnertang: Yes!! Paragraph form. Thanks Nalyd!

Nalyd: I HATE script form! TDI19, we'll discuss it when we're both on, okey dokey?

Turnertang: I love using paragraph form!

thebiggesttdifan: You guys like my story? I love how Owen doesn't say anything.

Sunshine: I like it! XD Is mine alright, do you think?

Anonymos: I loved your story, Sunshine! What did you guys think of mine?

TDI19: Sunshine, you are like me. You write a lot!!!

Anonymos: Yeah, it was really long... but I finished it and loved it! Soooo, what did you guys think of mine?

TDI19: I can't say anything yet! Nalyd, do you think we will still rank the stories best to worst?

Anonymos: Gosh, TDI19, I wasn't talking to you! I was talking to the other people!

Sorrel: its amaing every one who did theres is amazing

Sunshine: I agree! It'll be tough to decide the losers!

TDI19: I have some people pegged to lose. I won't say who though!

Anonymos: Almost everyone so far has put Owen, Izzy and Lindsay in their stories so far.

Sunshine: I think I was the first to use Lindsay, and I'm the only one to use Heather so far...

thebiggesttdifan: I'm the only one to use Justin, Duncan, and Harold so far. I guess mine is a littl e creative...

Anonymos: I'm so boring!! (Sobs.)

Sunshine: *pats Anonymos on head* I liked yours! Still LOLing at it! XD

Anonymos: Thanks, Sunshine! My favorite part is at the end where everyone beats each other up. I feel bad for Bridgette, the only sane one there...

Turnertang: Yours is good Anonymos and Sunshine what about mine.

SOrrel:what abotu me

Anonymos: You were good Turnertang and Sorrel.

Turnertang: Thanks.

Tdi: My favorites so far are Anonymous' and Sunshine's! But, everyone else has done good too.

thebiggesttdifan: What's with everyone starting to use Justin? But Sprinklemist, I love that. "What? It was the sexiest name on there." That made me crack up.

Sprinklemist: It's interesting how different each story is despite being in similar confines.

TDI19: I think that is a great thing! It shows so many different styles and everyone's originality and creativity. One great thing about this competition is that it really shows all the colors of all of us, and blends them together into a wiki rainbow! I felt like being nice and metaphoric!

Sprinklemist: I can see why you won the first one.

TDI19: That is supposed to be a compliment... *laughs nervously* right?

Sprinklemist: Of coooourse.

TDI19: Suggestion to anyone who is really serious in this competition: Check out some of the best work last season and see what you have to do to help make Nalyd, and now me, happy!

Nalyd: *sighs* I miss being the sole decider of elimination... TDI19 has a say and all the voters...

TDI19: But... but... I have good comments. *bursts into tears*

Nalyd: Okay, but be witty! No boring comments.

TDI19: Oh, after some of this week's stories, I think I will be very witty. Although, I don't know if this voting thing is gonna work out.

Sorrel: hello....agina

Sprinklemist: Of course, Fadingsilverstar does awesome. Good job.

Fadingsilverstar: Aww, thanks Sprinkle! Everyone's doing great!

Nalyd: Tomorrow the page will be locked, and throughout the day me and TDI19 will read and decide the bottom eight.

Owenguy101: Okay. I'm almost done with my story.

TDI19: Is it OK if I review EVERY story, Nalyd?

Nalyd: We will both review every story. Then we will make bottom eight lists, and compromis on eight. The BEST story gets a reward!

Fadingsilverstar: *der gaspen* Oooooh! I wonder who will get the reward! There are so many great authors!

Nalyd: *laughs* Not that many....

TDI19: *laughs* Ditto on some.

Redflare: my story sucks! I hate it, but I have writers block. DX

Nalyd: IMO, there are stories that are much worse.

TDI19: There are two I am ready to critique.

Fadingsilverstar: *gulp* Hopefully I'll manage to get a decent score.

Sprinklemist: I think you'll do good (and a few others that I liked, too), I think I'll be safe but not on top... Unless the judges like my humor (I'm doomed).

Fadingsilverstar: Thanks! I think you'll do well too!

thebiggesttdifan: Fadingsilverstar, it's amazing how you make every movement so slow and dramatic.

Zakkoroen:I totally understand if I get voted off. I hope I don't, though.

Kenzen11:I really want to stay too.

Fadingsilverstar: All this suspense is making a nervous, hollow ache in the pit of my stomach...

Sunshine: Like you have anything to worry about... you're one of my favorites to win!!!

Kenzen11:I do i didn't have alot of time to write

Fadingsilverstar: Thanks! *chews nails* I don't think you have anything to worry about, Sunshine! I might decide to escape to the recesses of my mind where there's still a shred of hope that I'll do a little better than average...

Sunshine: You realize I count your writing among my favorite published novels, right? And Kenzen, if you don't mind me saying, I think your problem is mostly grammar stuff. Remember, punctuation is your friend! ^^

Kenzen11:I suck at grammer.

Fadingsilverstar: Sunshine! You got in the Final Four! Congratulations! And thank you so much for the compliment! Seriously, huh? I'm only 13! What novels do you read?

TDI19: I am 13 next week, and I won season 1.

Fadingsilverstar: Ooooh! Cool! Happy Early Birthday, TDI!

TDI19: Thanks, Gigi!

Owenguy101: Is the judging going to finish?

Tdi: YAY!!!!!! I'M NOT IN THE BOTTOM!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 (Katie and Sadie moment)

Nalyd: Fadingsilverstar16! You win first place! On Saturday, after three people go home, you get to pick your seven teammates!

Anonymos: (To self.) I should have won. (Out loud.) Nice job, Fadingsilverstar16, your story was great!

Fadingsilverstar: Yay! Thank you all so much! Oooooh, I'll have to think about who I'll pick.

thebiggesttdifan: Wow...it feels so good to be safe!

Sprinklemist: Good job, FSS16. I knew it would be you. Hopefully I can give you more competition in the future.

Kenzen11:Save me :*(

Fadingsilverstar: Thanks, Sprinkle! I'm really gonna have to be at my absolute best!

Zak:Wait, who's the other team captain? Is it Sunshine?

Nalyd: No, Fadingsilverstar16 (who needs a shorter name for lazy typers who surprisingly have time to write in parenthesis) pick their team, then the left overs are a team.

Fadingsilverstar: You can call me Gigi, Nalyd!

Challenge One
This first challenge will be writing a TDA Aftermath show! For those who don't know, TDA Aftermath is a special TDA episode where eliminated (from TDA) and non-competing characters talk about their experiences. Too avoid a lot of spoilers, you can pick any two contestants to host the show, and pick two TDA contestants to be the guests (meaning that they were eliminated.) The stories MUST be written in paragraph format. The stories will be judged on originality, gramamr, and spelling. Worst eight stories will be put up for elimination and three of those eight will be eliminated. Stories due by Thursday morning, 6:00 eastern.

Judging
(For hosts only, but other people can read. You guys can talk about this on the week one chat.)

Nalyd: TDI19, my bottom eight are Zakkoroen, Ricky490, Owenguy101, Tdifan1234, Codaa5, Kenzen11, TDIMan7, and RockSK8R. What about you? I also think that

TDI19: Here are my reviews. Okay, so we agree on Zak, RockSK8R, TDIMan7, Kenzen11, Ricky490, Codaa5, and Tdifan1234. I agree with the Turnertang nomination. So how about Fadingsilverstar16 as best? --
 * Sorreltail18- Uhhh... the grammar was OK at best. I want to see more effort in your story next week, if you are still here.
 * Zakkoroen- I hope that even though you were not able to write a story this week, that the voters see your talent and keep you on. Bottom 8
 * RockSK8R- It was not creative at all. Grammar was better than I expected. Also, there were tense problems. Overall, it just did not work. Bottom 8
 * Sunshine- I completely hated it.... if this was opposite world. Grammar was fabulous, story line was great, and the hosts were a PERFECT choice. I loved Lindsay finding Tyler. BOB THE LEPRECHAUN!!!!! I am calling it now.... FINAL 4!
 * Thebiggesttdifan- I liked it! Good grammar, good plot. Loved the end!
 * Ezekielguy- Ummmmm.... I don't feel like this was finished. Overall, a fair job. I think you should have made it farther last season.
 * Anonymos- HILARIOUS, CLEVER, AND CREATIVE! You got skills. I can't wait to see your evolution in this competition.
 * Turnertang- Meh. This story was just alright for me. A little boring, except for Eva. "It's probably just the wind!" LOVED THAT! Remember, you punctuate sentences AND you DON'T capitalize asked, said, etc. Bottom 8
 * Tdi- You used the same hosts. WHY? Overall, good.
 * Ricky490- I am upset you did not put up a story, as I think you have a knack for writing. Bottom 8
 * Owenguy101- Overall good. Next time, I want to see you go out of the box, because I think your choices were a little safe. Remember, DON'T capitalize asked, said, etc. Loved the Gilded Chris Candies! XD!
 * Sprinklemist- LOVE IT!!!!! Great, great job. You are very creative and clever and I loved how you created so many different random situations and tied them all together!!!
 * Tdifan1234- Same as Ricky490, I really wanted to see yours. I hope you can make it past this little blunder. Bottom 8
 * Codaa5- Where's the story? Awwwww.... I think you do have potential after looking back at last season. Bottom 8
 * Redflare- Ummmmm... I thought the grammar could have been better, but overall a fair job.
 * Kenzen11- I am going to start with the positives. Katie and Sadie hosting was a good idea and I liked having DJ's mom come out. Now, the negatives, and there are a lot. Your grammar is, PLEASE NO OFFENSE, horrible. Your sentences run into each other. You don't use capitalization correctly. You don't use punctuation at all. Your spelling is poor too. You used script form when asked not to (in parts). STORIES NEED GOOD GRAMMAR TO MAKE THEM WORK!!! Lastly, I saw little effort in this story. I think you are out. I am sorry this was very mean, but honesty is the best policy. I can't sugar it up and say this was better than everyone else's, because it wasn't. I can't sugar it up and say it was just OK. If you want to learn to be a good writer, I need to give constructive criticism, which tends to be harsh. Bottom 8
 * Fadingsilverstar16- Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. FRONT RUNNER! WHOO!!! I think that you are better than me. Good luck, great job!
 * Usitgz- Intersting. Crazy twist, but intriguing. Good job.
 * TDIMan7- More tough love here. Honestly, I think a turkey sandwich can write better than you, basing it on this story. Horrible grammar, and THE MOST BORING STORY LINE of the 19. Most importantly, I saw NO EFFORT AT ALL in this story. So, bye-bye. Bottom 8

Did you not read my comment to Gigi, Nalyd??? XD [/wiki/user:TDI19 ~Hi, it is TDI19!!! ] [/wiki/user_talk:TDI19 ...To... ][/wiki/special:Contributions/TDI19 ...From... ] 23:22, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Results
Nalyd: TDIMan7, RockSK8R and Kenzen11 are outta here!

Owenguy101: Goodbye you guys.

Team picking
Nalyd: Fadingsilver16, pick seven other peopel to be on your team.

Fadingsilverstar16: Alright, I pick Sprinklemist, Sunshineandravioli, thebiggesttdifan, Anonymos, Zakkoreon, Redflare, and Owenguy101!

Nalyd: You are the writing Gophers!

Fadingsilverstar16: Yay! So Nalyd, when's the next challenge gonna be up?

Nalyd: SUnday! BTW, good picks. Smart moves.

Gigi (Fadingsilverstar): Thanks. There was really no hesitation in picking Sprinkle and Sunshine!

Nalyd: I will be shocked when this team loses.

TDI19: me too! Didn't you knoew

Zeke: I bet'll get picked last 'cause of what happened last season.

Tdifan:Hey, guys. Sorry I didn't write a story last time. I was pretty busy last week, but I'll try my best to on my story this week. : )

Sprinklemist: I'm a Gopher! Woohoo! Thanks for the praise, Gigi.

Owenguy101: Me is a gopher!

Zeke: Zeky the loser...

Tdi: Wow. The other team has the best writers, no offense to my team. At least we have the runner up from last season

Zeke: Exscuse me? I'm a perfectly good writer! I'm GREAT!

Tdi: I'm not saying everyone sucks on this team. I think that we can win challenges

Zeke: OK but I'm warning ya, yer talkin' to the guy who wrote "My Totally Dramatic Life!"

Tdi: K

Turnertang: We are still going to win team!

thebiggesttdifan: I think we should redo the teams. It doesn't seem fair since there was no other captain.

Nalyd: If one team constantly wins there will be a switch.

Turnertang: Well they are going to win cause Fadingsilverstar picked the best authors so that means they are kind of going to win.

Usitgz: All the members of my team are friends, that makes ke happy.

Tdi: Team! We can win!

Turnertang: Yeah, we can do it!

Week Two Chat
Nalyd: Challenge soon.

Owenguy101: Oh boy!

Sunshine: HO YEAH! I have an AWESOME IDEA!!!!!! *does the happy-pixie dance*

Turnertang: I hope I do better this week.

Sunshine: I thought your's was good! Is my story this week alright? Writing as Justin is strangely enjoyable...

Turnertang: Your an amazing author Sunshine.

Sunshine: Thanks!!! I can't wait to see yours! ^^

Turnertang: I'm working on it right now.

thebiggesttdifan: Ya like my story?

Nalyd: The three stories up now are awesome! Gophers have it in the bag!

Anonymos: Thanks!

Gigi: Great stories, guys! I knew I made fantastic choices! Thursday is the due date like last time, Nalyd?

Nalyd: Unless stated otherwise, always thursday.

Gigi: Great. I've already started on mine.

thebiggesttdifan: Sunshine, your story really makes sense! I love it!

Turnertang: Everyone's story is so much better than mine!

thebiggesttdifan: I think Sunshine's the second to use first-person view, the first being me.

Nalyd: This group of authors is awesome!

TDI19: I completely agree. Each of you has your own individual style and all of them are turning out to be incredible. A good majority of you would have ANNIHILATED me if I was in this season! Great job and keep it up!! :)

Redflare: My story is horrible again DX.

TDI19: OK.... this is kind of predictable. Now, after a season of third-person stories, someone switches it up to a first-person piece. Now.... a lot of people are using the first person..... hmmmm. Just goes to show that when someone sees something they like, they pounce on it and take it for themself...

Anonymos: I didn't!

thebiggesttdifan: I hope maybe we get some *GREAT IDEA DELETED*...ooh la la that would be AWESOME!

Sunshine: Mine was the first story up, so I guess it's pretty obvious mine isn't copied... XD

Turnertang: Also your story is great Sunshine!

Sunshine: I'm blown away by everyone's writing ability!

Turnertang: I know. There are many great authors here.

Sunshine: Before this started, I was kinda hoping to make it to the finals. Now, I think I'll be lucky to make it to the merge. A lot of the people here are a lot better than me.

Turnertang: I still think you can make it to the finals.

Sunshine: Haha, no way. If I'm extremely lucky, and Nalyd and TDI19 pity me greatly, I might make it to fifth or so...

Turnertang: Someone doesn't believe in there selves.

Sunshine: LOL... nah, I just think there's plenty of people here who have more skill and are more deserving of the win.

Turnertang: You defiantly are a front runner in this competition.

Sunshine: I guess... I was actually pretty confident until Sprinklemist and Fadingsilverstar joined. XD

Turnertang: You're just as good as them.

Sunshine: No, they trump me big time. Just watch, Fadingsilverstar's gonna post her story and I'm going to drop to the ground crying at it's awesomeness... XD

Turnertang: If you believe you can win then you will! (Starts flying) WEEEEEEEEEE!

Anonymos: I don't stand a chance against you and the two of them... Turnertang what are you doing?!?!!

Turnertang: (Holdind coffee) I was hungry so I flew to Starbucks and bought some coffee. Here you and Sunshine can each have one. (Hands them coffee)

Anonymos: Uh, thanks...

Turnertang: (Fly's away) WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Sunshine: *chugs coffee* CAFFEINE!!!!!!!!!!!!! *laughs insanely*

Anonymos: (Shivers.) Scary...

Turnertang: (Comes back with a Mickey Mouse Hat) I went to Disney Land. I brought you guys presents. (Pulls out the real Goofy and Pluto) Here you go.

Sunshine: GOOFY!!!! I missed you, man!!!

Goofy: Garsh!

Anonymos: (Kicks Goofy.)

Sunshine: What was that for, Nonny? (LOL, boredom-fueled nickname XD)

Turnertang: (Fly's away)

Anonymos: Nonny? Goofy is so annoying!!!

Goofy: Well, garsh, Nonny, I didn't know you felt that way. Why don't we go get some coffee?

Anonymos: (Sighs) Fine, Goofy, let's get some coffee... you coming Sunshine?

Sunshine: CAFFEINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Turnertang: (Fly's back) Where did they go? I brought them sourvineirs from my trip to American Idol. (Pulls out Adam Lamber, Danny Gokey, Simon Cowell, and Paula Abduel)

Sunshine: It's Simon!!! *chucks a bowl of ravioli at him XD*

Goofy: Garsh, I'm scared!!! HOLD ME, NONNY!!!! (Jumps into Anonymos' arms.)

Anonymos: (Drops him.) Get out, Goofy!!! Let's go get coffee...

Turnertang: See ya later. (Fly's away)

Gigi: OMG I LOVE DISNEYLAND! I'M GOING THERE THIS WEEKEND (like I do every week xD)! *off topicness* I'LL TAKE AN HONORARY RIDE ON BIG THUNDER FOR YOU ALL. AND A HUG FROM MICKEY. &lt;3333

thebiggesttdifan: I hate Disney. Anydarnway, what's the next challenge TDI19?

Sunshine: Geesh, TBTDIF, it's only Tuesday! This challenge doesn't close 'till Thursday!

Goofy: Garsh!!!! Disney is amazing!!! That's what made me, hu-yuck!!!!

Anonymos: Uh-hu....

Turnertang: (Fly's back) i brought you guys stuff from the natural history museum. (Pulls out full tyrannosaurus rex fossil)

Gigi: Guys? I have some bad news... I think I actually may have to resign if my current case of the flu gets any worse. Also, I have final exams this week and this cold is not making it any better... I really, really don't want to quit, so I may just have to come up with a quick ending for my submission and just post it.

Sprinklemist: I hope you get better. I hope you can keep competing, and submit your story (no matter what format).

Gigi: *holds up hands in defeat* Alright guys, please know that the story I just posted I am not too satisfied with. I had no idea what to do with it so I just decided to wing it. Let's hope the judges take pity on me are a bit more satisfied with it than I am. Actually, that's one of the darkest stories I've written yet. Hm...

Sprinklemist: It's still a great story, Gigi. If not vaguely familiar... I;m sure you'll be safe.

Nalyd: Don't quit! Your team may be able to win and save you! If not, the audience loves you. (And me and TDI19 can save somebody)

Sunshine: *cries at awesomness of Gigi's apparently "bad" story* We ARE in the same boat... I posted my Justin story thinking "everyone's going to hate this"...

Gigi: Aww, Sunshine! I don't hate your story! Actually, yours is one of the best I've seen so far! (And Sprinklemist's, although I haven't read his or anyone else's yet because of time, I know will be great!)

Sprinklemist: I think you might find mine to be... Similar to yours in some respects. I'm a guy by the way.

Sunshine: They are kind of alike... weird... was mine really all right?

Sprinklemist: I heart yours. It makes Justin's personality change make sense.

Gigi: Oops. Sorry, Sprinkle. *edits* 0.o Ours are similar. I like yours alot better, though, especially the end. Fiendish smirk? Heather, you little devil you. xD And by the way, did mine really come off as dark and depressing, or is that just me? (Whether that's a good thing or not is for you guys to decide.) Also, yours was awesome, Sunshine! How you wrote about Justin finally realizing that he has "powers" was great!

Tdi: Mine sucks. I hope I'll make it to next week

TBTDIF: Fading, you're really good at writing drama, but we haven't seen you with comedy yet. And I don't think drama can...JUST KIDDING! A good drama story is exactly the same as a good comedy one.

Gigi: Thanks tbtdif! Yours was great too! Thanks for the praise, Nalyd! Man, it's good to be safe!

TBTDIF (why is this nickname so long?): Yeah, it sure is. When will someone be eliminated, guys (Nalyd and TDI19)

Anonymos: I'm sorry my story was so bad! I'll redeem myself when the next challenge comes out!

Sunshine: *attempts and fails to figure out why people liked hers* (What happened to the stories??? o.O)

Gigi: Are you kidding me, Sunshine? Yours was so awesome! Totally gives insight into Justin's personality. I think they remove the stories after the judging is done. I posted my story about Heather on my fanfiction.net account and my deviantart account. Is that okay, Nalyd and TDI19?

Redflare: Mine suck every week.

Anonymos: Sunshine, Nalyd puts the stories here to prevent lag.

Sunshine: Oh... probably shoulda figured that out. Redflare, yours was pretty good! And I still don't get the appeal of my writing... all I do know is I like writing in first person best...

Anonymos: My story got such a bad review!!!! I shall redeem myself when the new challenge has been posted!! So tomorrow I shall redeem myself!!

Gigi: Sunshine, I already told you yours didn't suck like mine! The only think I really had to focus on was deliberately not saying Heather's name until the very end. I hope the people on fanfiction.net don't slaughter me. ;_;

Anonymos: I'm sure they won't! Your story was awesome!

Usitgz:It's too bad half of my team didn't write a story :(.

Challenge Two
Nalyd: Okay, this week's challenge is a Playa Des Losers theme. Here's the catch: It has to be about either Justin, Katie, Sadie, Tyler, Beth, LeShawna, Duncan, Heather, Gwen, or Owen. All the people we heard little-nothing from at Playa des losers. Again, paragraph form ONLY. It will be judged on grammar, spelling, and if it makes sense.

Judging (2)
Nalyd: Time to judge!

Writing Gophers
1. Zakkoroen- Great! Good to see you back to your old writing standards!

2. Sunshine - Way to book out a great story! Loved it!

3. Thebiggesttdifan - An average story, pretty good. Little confusing...

4. Anonymos - Dance? Hotel des Losers? Very confusing. Good spelling and grammar however.

5. Owenguy - Makes sense, not very good grammar, and only decent spelling.

6. Sprinklemist - Definitely one of the best stories! Great everything!

7. Redflare - Moving story about LeShawna being accepted in playa des losers.

8. Fadingsilverstar16 - Beautiful story. Truly the best. I felt myself pity Heather (Who I always soemwhat pitied.) Even Heather Haters would be moved...

Typing Bass

 * Sorrel- I actually kind of found myself bored with the storyline, as it was basic. Anyways, it was just OK. It was kind of like ordering a sandwich, but with no meat in the middle; just the bread. You should definitely watch your spelling though. sepARATe.
 * Ezekielguy- Awwww.... just when I thought you had a shot at redeeming yourself this season, you post nothing week 2... :(
 * Turnertang- I liked the idea and the randomness... but you need to work on your punctuation.

Nalyd: I say the Bass lose, and none of them should be safe from elimination. TDI19, agree?

TDI19: I agree completely!

Bass Voting - Closed
Nalyd: Just like last time, anyone can vote and anyone can go home.

Nalyd: Ricky clearly got the most votes (12)

Week Three Chat
Nalyd: Challenge coming today!

Turnertang: I don't get the challenge. What are we supposed to do?

Anonymos: Will we be scored on the conflicts? Because the conflicts involving Heather are the most numerable and the biggest, so are we also going to be scored by the originality of the conflict? I know it has to be real, but if they are not as common, will they get better scores?

Owenguy101: Ricky's gone. I'm kind of glad he's gone. He did not post anything.

Sprinklemist: I tried something completely different. I hope you guys like it.

Nalyd: LOL Sprinklemist! Great job! In one fo my facs Courtney got rabies, LOL. Me and Sadie think alike, I suppose.

Sprinklemist: Was it in the Horrible Misadventures of Courtney? I read that, but forgot about. I forgot how much you don't like Courtney. I totally wasn't trying to pander the story toward you. Haha!

Gigi: Perfect! I've had an idea swimming around in my head that would totally fit in with this prompt. *grins evilly* And by the way, yours was very creative, Sprinklemist! Great job.

Anonymos: Did you guys like my story?

Tdifan1234: uhhh...who's Gigi? Anyway, You guys like meh story?

Gigi: I'm Fadingsilverstar16!

Turnertang: I'm glad you finally have a story Tdifan and its really good.

TBTDIF: Hey, guys...I might have to miss the next challenge.

Tdi: I hope my story is good

Gigi: *biiiig sigh of relief* So glad I was able to get mine done before the deadline.

Tdi: I look at the elimination chart and I'm the only person to not get any votes! Well, on my team, anyways

Challenge Three
Nalyd: Okay, this week's challenge is to put an end to a conflict. Take any people who hate each other, and make them forgive and forget. Like, for example, take Heather and Gwen (or a conflict where the people don't hate each other so much) and write about them eventually forgiving each other. It will be judged on believability, how major the conflict was, grammar, and spelling.

Judging (3)
Nalyd: TDI19, how about I get the Typing Bass, you get the Writing Gophers.

Writing Gophers

 * Zakkoroen- Lol! Short but good! Loved the end! It had everything needed: tacos, frozen pizza, and simultaneous ascension into heaven.
 * Sunshine- Uh-huh! Woo-hoo! *dances* Sunshine is in the ZONE!!!!! Great imagery, great grammar! Top NOTCH ALL AROUND! Calling it again: FINAL FOUR!!!
 * Thebiggesttdifan- You know, this one was just OK for me. There was something confusing about it. IDK, but good grammar. THANK YOU! You used quotations inside a quotation! Yay!
 * Anonymos- LOL! LOVE THIS STORY! CLEAR!!!!!! Yay! Good storyline and grammar! :)
 * Owenguy101- I liked it. You kept switching the tense you were writing in a lot though. Also, the epilogue was good. That Heather!
 * Sprinklemist- Wow! Thank you! The moral was incredible!!!!!! THE STORY WAS AMAZING! You are like a the $20 bill in the wallet surrounded by singles!
 * Redflare- You made this a very easy review to write. Ummmm.... good luck fixing your computer.
 * Gigi- You know that amazing book? YOU COULD BE THE AUTHOR OF IT!!!!!! That is it.

Typing Bass

 * Soreltail18 - Ummm... Good conflict, okay spelling and grammar... believability, however, not very. LeShawana and Duncan have frequently shown signs of disliking each other,so I don't understand why she'd want them together.
 * Ezekielguy - Dang, No story. I had high hopes for Courdy. (Courtney+Cody) No story = No points. NO STORY TWO WEEKS IN A ROW.
 * Turnertang - No periods, luckily only a few spelling issues. I think it makes a lot of sense for LeShawna and Heather to bond over a common hared, maybe not Gwen. Great conflict though. Good luck.
 * Tdi - Not a very strong conflict to resolve (but better than many others). Sort of awkward throughout. Good grammar and spelling. You definitely have a chance here.
 * Tdifan1234 - Really funny. I don't think they really had a conflict, more like love-hate. The conflict in the story isn't even resolved; Noah still hates them.
 * Codaa5 - Where be the story?
 * Usitgz - Weak conflict. Couples spelling errors.

Nalyd: You can keep judging TDI19. I think its safe to say which team loses, however. Can I PLEASE score Gophers next time?

TDI19: Yeah, yeah....

Bass Voting - Closed
Nalyd: No Bass are safe!

Nalyd: Y'all can chat here until Week three starts. Codaa5 is clearly out with nine votes against him.

TBTDIF: I might not be able to compete this week...but if I can find time, I will.

Gigi: Hope you can find time, TBTDIF. I'm not supposed to be too busy next week, and hopefully I'll be able to crank out a story before Wednesday. I wonder what the challenge will be this time....

Usitgz: I made it past the third week this time! I'm sad that everyone votes for me, I have afeeling I'll be voted out next |:(

Week Four Chat
Nalyd: Final fifteen!

Owenguy101: Uh. It's week four. Not three.

Anonymos: And we're the final 14 not 15...

Sprinklemist: I already know what I'm doing for this challenge.

Anonymos: I'm having trouble selecting a movie...

Nalyd: My bad. XD

Owenguy101: I know so many movies that this challenge will be a snap.

Sprinklemist: I know a lot, too... It's just that the movies I really like, people probably haven't heard of...

Sunshine: Can we do an episode of a TV show too or is that stretching it? (I'm dying to do a parody of an Avatar episode with TDI characters... Duncan Zuko! &lt;3)

Gigi: I love Avatar! Yeah, I think and episode of a TV show would be good. If not, I'll pick a scene from a movie I like.

Nalyd: Sure, tv shows too. I think the Gophers are gonna win again.

Gigi: Yay! Hm...now that I think about it, a Disney movie might be the safest bet. After all, I do own like twenty of them. xD

Sunshine: Woohoo! Workin' on my entry right now! I'm doing one of my favorite episodes of Avatar... it's in season 2... I wonder if you can guess it!

Gigi: Ooooh...is it the episode where we meet Toph and she joins the Gaang?

Sunshine: Nah, though I do love that episode. TOPH IS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER!!!!! And I'm not sure which character would be Toph... hmm...

Turnertang: In my story am I supposed to call the characters by their real name or the person their playing?

Anonymos: MY STORY STINKS!!!! (Cries.)

TDI19: Well, for my story of "Snow White" last season, I called the characters a mix of both names. (i.e. Snow Bridgette, Grumpy Eva, Prince Geoff, etc....)

Gigi: Aw man, it looks like I'm gonna have to brush up on my tragedy for this challenge. *puts on sad music*

Sprinklemist: I think I have to change my story idea. It will take forever, and I can't figure out how to make it different from the actual movie... Fortunately, I have another idea.

Nalyd: Guys, If Redflare quits I think we'll still have an elimination. He'll place fourteenth. Okay?

Redflare: Ooh I love Greese. We do go together like wm bam boo just like my brother its shama lama- oh forget it.

Sprinklemist: Sigh, all done. That took a long time.

Nalyd: Sprinklemist! I started readin yours and I exploded laughing!

Anonymos: O MY GOSH!! TDIFAN'S DOING HAIRSPRAY!!! I had the idea, but I did Grease instead. (Very poorly, might I add.) You put in all the leads, but (this is an optional character) you could put in Prudy Pingleton, Penny's mom.

Sprinklemist: I love her name for it, Hair Gel. Lol! (Thanks Nalyd)

Tdifan: Thanks. Hopefully during the summer, I'll make a tdi cameo movie saga, including Hair gel(Hairspray), Goth(Wicked), Cody and the Chipmunks(Alivn and the Chipmunks), and others!

Tdi: That sound cool! I would like to do a TV show one! Like, The Very Oddparents, iGwen, Cody and Noah (Phineas and Ferb), and others!

Sprinklemist: We're allowed to do tv shows for this challenge. I like the Powerpuff idea.

Tdi: Thanks. I'll change it to an episode so it will be easier

Sprinklemist : I just noticed that my story says Sprinklemist's Song above it. O_O

Nalyd: IDK how it got liek that. You may change it (I figured you did that...)

Sprinklemist: I didn't. I checked the history of this page, but it was like that before I added my story. I think I'll leave it, it's unique.

Sunshine: Must... finish... story... so... long... only... half... hour... TV... episode... (me + editing = epic fail XD)

Sprinklemist: You edited my song (it's okay). Sunshine... I know how it feels. I'm so glad I didn't pick a movie...

Owenguy101: I cannot figure out a idea! *cries*

Redflare; I have decided to leave.

Nalyd: You sure Redflare?

TBTDIF: Sorry I haven't been on, guys. One of my family members has passed away and I'm at a place with little internet access. Can you give me extra time?

Gigi: I'm so sorry to hear that TBTDIF. I know how you feel. My sister's unborn baby passed away yesterday.

Sprinklemist: Oh no, guys! I'm really sorry to hear that.

Challenge Four
Nalyd: Okay, this week y'all have to write a parody of a movie or story using TDI characters. Please include a cast list. This will be judged on if the TDI characters fit the roles assigned to them, grammar, and spelling.

Judging (4)
Nalyd: Okay, I got Gophers this time, TDI19 you got Bass.

Writing Gophers

 * Zakkoroen - Other than Geoff as Luke Skywalker, great picks! I just don't see Geoff serious enough to do that. Is this finished?
 * Sunshine - First of all, great picks. Second, you definitely captured the essence of perhaps the greatest Avatar episode ever! (They could have a spin-off: Zuko - One of many, many firbeenders. LOL!) Great as always Sunshine.
 * Thebiggesttdifan - I'm very sorry about the hardships you've faced lately.Maybe if the Gophers lose we'll save you. Your cast was great. Too bad you couldn't finish it.
 * Anonymos - Anonymos, you did great overall this week. Keep this up and I can see you in final six.
 * Owenguy101 - Your cast was okay. Your biggest problem was frequently switching between present and past tense. "He comes up." "He said."
 * Sprinklemist - This story is great. I kept laughing at it. Poor Owen. XD You're doing great!
 * Fadingsilverstar16 - AWESOME! You are consistantly great every week, and I think this is my favorite story of your's.

Nalyd: Okay, the Gophers are doing awesome. Nobody didn't post a story, but even with Redflare gone I think they've got it in the bag.

Typing Bass
TDI19: Well.... at first glance... it looks like I have a pretty easy job ahead of me!


 * Sorrel- *sigh* I thought you might have been able to rally with this story... but, I think you are in trouble tonight.
 * Ezekielguy- OK. Just OK. You put the story together well and it was definitely the TDI characters! It felt rushed, and was too short, though.
 * Turnertang- You need to work on your punctuation a lot, because it was constantly missing! The storyline was alright! I saw a reference to Spaceballs in there, am I right?
 * Tdi- I feel you let your team down. You were doing well before this, and this is a bummer.... The only problem with the beginning was the tense. You would say "are seen" which is present tense, and then switch to something like "said", which is in the past tense later in the sentence. I did love the cast though!
 * Tdifan1234- The casting was AMAZING! Unfortunately, that is all I can say. I was looking forward to "Hair Gel".
 * Ustigz- Uh...... weirded out by this one. At least you wrote a story! It was OK overall.

Well, I guess the Bass lose, and ANY of them could leave. Nalyd, what about you?

Bass Voting - Closed
Nalyd: Again, nobody is safe.

Okay, who has spent their last week here? Sorrel Ezekielguy Turnertang Tdi Tdifan1234 Usitgz

Nalyd: Will the Bass EVER win? Voting closes tomorrow afternoon, or in the morning if somebody has more than ten votes.

Nalyd: With ten votes, Tdi is out! Y'all can talk here. Next Week will start today since I'll be on vacation this weekend.

TBTDIF: Really, this is unfair. The team picking was really mean, and I suggest at least maybe...teams merging earlier?

Tdifan: I sort of agree. Maybe we could do a team switch or something?

Gigi: Yeah, I think it's time to do something. When were you planning to dissolve the teams anyway, Nalyd?

Nalyd: i was thinking merge, final nine/ten/seven. It will most likely be ten, so two more weeks. Y'all will be fine!

TDI19: I would like to say to Tdi, that I think you are the first really surprising elimination so far this season. I think you should have outlasted half of your team. Goodbye!

Anonymos: Yeah, Nalyd. I think the teams should be switched.

Owenguy101: Nah. I don't think the teams should be switched. It's as good as it is.

TBTDIF: That's because you've been standing in our shadow, Owenguy. I don't want teams to be switched, but merged would be easier.

Week Five Chat
Nalyd: Yo final 12!

Anonymos: (Pretending to be a gangster in an awful.) Yo, homie dawg! In the crib, yo.......... Foshizzle.

Sunshine: I... I can't go on like this. I'm overwelmed by the guilt. I-I... I LEFT OUT A BIG PART OF THE EPISODE WHEN I WROTE THAT PARODY!!! *cries* (Ha, I'm overreacting again, I think. I left out the flashback of Fire Lord Azulon's/Hatchet's funeral for time reasons, which may have been a bad idea as it explains how Ozai/Justin became fire lord...)

Anonymos: Don't feel bad, Sunshine. I left out a lot of my story... That's why my story was so bad.

Gigi: That's not nearly as bad as my story! I had to condense the three illusions that the Little Match Girl had into one hallucination scene! And I also screwed up with the italics in one sentence... ;_;

Sunshine: I think my story last week broke the record for longest TDAuthor story entry... it was SIXTEEN pages long on MS word!!!

TDI19: Yes, Sunshine, it definitely did! My longest story was at least 3 pages, maybe 4!

Nalyd: Y'all like the challenge? ;)

TDI19: Yeah! This would have been easy as pie for me! :) Anyway, I have the challenge for next week, if that is OK, Nalyd!

Nalyd: Tell me on my talk page.

Tdifan: I don't think I can go on. You see, I'm graduating my school this week and I don't have time to write an 1000 word story. I'll be waaaaaaaaayyyyy too busy. Sorry.

Usitgz: Hmmm... this week will be interesting.

Sunshine: 1,000 words? Is that all? Pshaw. XD

Owenguy101: 1000 words! *faints*

Anonymos: I'm writing my story now, I'm already over 1,000.

Anonymos: Okay, my story is up!

Turnertang: I put up my story!

TDI19: OK. Happy Graduation Tdifan!!! I agree with you Sunshine.... pshaw! Owenguy, it is not that hard..... well, for me! Anonymos and Turnertang, thanks for putting the word count up!! Can everyone do that please!!??

TBTDIF: I can handle this. Word accuracy is my skill.

Zeke: A thousand words? I can't. Sorry, I'm dropping out.

Turnertang: Why isn't anyone doing this challenge?

TDI19: Wait? Are you just not posting a story this week or are you officially leaving? It is only Saturday Turnertang, they have until Wednesday!

Turnertang: I know but everyone is saying "1 thousand words! I can't do it."

Anonymos: Why are so many people dropping out?

Turnertang: I can't believe people would drop out of this awesome camp.

Sunshine: I got my story up! Whoo! *does the Duncan* So, uh, is it any good?

Owenguy101: I didn't want Zekie to go. Please come back.

Sunshine: Did anyone like my story? No one's answering... :(

Gigi: It was fantastic, Sunshine! And the way it's coming out, it looks like your story's gonna leave mine in the dust.

Sunshine: *laughs hystarically* No, seriously. XD

Gigi: I am serious. That was totally great! So much better than mine. *kicks writing skills*

Sunshine: *kicks Gigi kicking writing skills* You could be, I dunno, Stephenie Meyer or something! *awaits everyone laughing at her being a Twilight fan*

Gigi: Ah...the good old days of being a Twilight fan. *nods fondly* I'll take that as a compliment. *huggle* But seriously, your story reminds me of my Heather one in that Playa Des Losers challenge. You do a really good job at bringing the drama. Great minds thing alike, I suppose!

Sunshine: I'm just waiting for a challenge where I can let my insane humor run free! XD

Gigi: Yay, humor! I'm waiting for a challenge that's open ended enough for me to be able to write some nice tragedy. Can you believe it? I actually cried while writing my submission for the last challenge. Aren't I sad? xD

Sunshine: I cried during Trent's song in the first TDA Aftermath... and at the end of the 6teen episode where Nebula and Jude broke up... *sigh*

Gigi: I shed a tear sometimes when I watch the fireworks at Disneyland (I'm goin' there tomorrow! Yay!). Especially Christmas. That song is so pretty. ♥

TDI19: You live near Disneyland?? Have fun 2MORO!

Gigi: About thirty minutes away, which is great for me since I'm a huge Disney nerd even though I'm 13. xD Today we went to go see that "A Christmas Carol" train thing at LA Union Station. The exhibit itself was okay and the train is pretty, but the three hour wait left both me and my mom extremely dissatisfied. Thanks, TDI19!

TDI19: That is so cool!

Gigi: Thank you! I'll think of you all when I'm dropping on Tower of Terror tomorrow. xD

TDI19: LOLZ! Please do!!! XD

TBTDIF: I cry whenever I see part of some SpongeBob episode (Chocolate with Nuts) where this guy is extremely injured. And then he turns out to be a fake...hmm...sounds like Heather.

TDI19: I get the Gophers this week Nalyd! You get the two stories on the Bass. Easy job for you!!

TBTDIF: Now I KNOW that the teams are unfair. Anyway, my story's done. My favorite part is the end, where I altered Noah and Duncan's quote from Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island.

Gigi: Sigh. I may not be able to get a story up this week. My family's going through some hard times and I'm most likely going to be gone all day today and tomorrow to support my sister and her children. You guys can vote me off if we lose. I'll try the best I can, but if the Gophers lose, you can go ahead and kick me to the curb. Sorry, guys. It's been fun. ;_;

TBTDIF: Does this sound familiar?

Gigi: Like Redflare, yeah. Hopefully, I can think up an ending to this fast.

TBTDIF: Redflare won't get into this. No one can hold a grudge to you for more than a good six minutes. (Bridgette moment)

Owenguy101: Anonymos. I fixed your link to the story storage. It's not an external link. It's an interal link.

TBTDIF: You guys like my story?

Sunshine: Yeah!!! Murder mystery!!! (Why are my stories always so long?!)

Usitgz: Does the title count in the word count?

Sprinklemist: I'm not sure how to do a word count, but I'm pretty sure I have enough.

TDI19: Title does NOT count. Sprinkle, on Word at the bottom of your document there should be the word count.

TBTDIF: Lots of crying going around in our stories...Courtney, Duncan, Noah...Sprinkle, your story is amazing! So it looks like there will be 3 tragedies and 3 comedies...hmm.

Sprinklemist: Thanks, TBTDIF. I had that story in my head for a while, now. I'd call it a black comedy. I don't have Word, but I Googled 'word count' and a bunch of programs appeared that did it. I had enough words. I can't believe we both have Joey in our story. LOL!

TBTDIF: Only I called him Joe. :)

TBTDIF: Today was my school's talent show. I was in it, and me and my friend sang a song that we wrote.

TDI19: Well.... what looked to be a very reliable, strong Top 12, turned out 6 stories, one withdrawal, four "can't do its", and one important circumstance.

Challenge Five
Nalyd: Okay, this week is all about length. The stories each have to be at least.... ONE THOUSAND WORDS!!! That's right! Any stories under 1,000 words will be immediately disqualified from the challenge. TDI/TDA must be written out. But what good is quantity if there is no quality? You can write any type of story, but it must be TDI characters. This will be judged on if you reach 1,000 words, spelling, grammar, and creativity.

Writing Gophers

 * Zak- No story.... could be in trouble.
 * Anonymos- Happy Birthday! Love it!! The idea of recreating the challenge was fantabulous! XD. I thought the end was unexpected! I actually thought you were gonna send both home, kind of like I had both teams lose in one of my stories last season! Great job! Your best work so far!!
 * Sunshine- Love it pixie!! Full of feeling, emotion, visuals! Descriptives were great!! "Abuse of Random Rocks!" LOL! One thing. Capitalize the word God. That is it! Fabulous job once again!!
 * TBTDIF- Wow!! This is an excellent story! I loved the Rachel Wilson thing (Heather's voice actress). I loved the references. It was clever, funny, and well-written!! Great!
 * Owenguy101- No story, no review.
 * Sprinklemist- I completely applaud you for this work of master-class. This was incredible! You mixed everything in: conflict, morals, humor, twists, tragedy, emotions, thoughts, actions. It was the whole package. And so are you!!!
 * Gigi- Thanks for telling us about what came up. I am glad your family is doing better!!

Typing Bass

 * Sorreltail18 - Fail.
 * Turnertang - Great. Very well written.
 * Tdifan1234 - FAIL.
 * Usitgz - Cutting it a little close with word count, huh? Definitely creative.

Nalyd Renrut: TDI19, if Bass lose I say Usitgz and Turnertang are invincible.

TDI19: I think that the Bass are losing again.

Typing Bass Vote for the umpteenth time
Who from the Bass are going home? Sorreltail18 Tdifan1234

Results
Nalyd: Okay, Tdifan1234 got all the votes (nine) BUT Fadingsilverstar16 is eliminated! Gigi is quitting due to time issues.

TBTDIF: I guess it's not right to complain, but there are too many quitters. Oh well, at least we still have Sprinkle and Sunshine, who do as much work combined as Fading did.

Nalyd: I try to stop them from quitting.

TDI19: Gigi, we wish you the best with your situation! Good luck!

TBTDIF: At least it's getting closer to fair now. I guess we'll have a few Typing Bass in the merge. It's weird--last time the Typing Bass were for a while, the superior...and now they're DEFINITELY the inferior.

Zak:So.... who's the new captain of the Gophers?

Nalyd: As this isn't really a roleplay camp, I don't think that captains are needed. And guess what everyone! Starting tomorrow, you will be competing individually!... Sort of!

Sunshine: Already? Wow, this season is going so much more quickly... o.O

Nalyd: Well, three people dropped out, and week one three people left, so yeah.

Sunshine: And to think when this started we were all freaking out about having the highest number of individual signups... XD

TDI19: Lol!! XD

Owenguy101: We haven't lost any challenges but we've lost Redflare and Gigi. BTW. Is this the merge?

Nalyd: You are all competing individually sort of.

Sunshine: All right... CHALLENGESOONPLZKTHX. (LOL, can anyone read that?! XD)

Week 6 Chat
Nalyd: This week's challenge will be nearly impossible! Posting a new story EVERY DAY!

Owenguy101: New story every day? This will be tough.

Sunshine: Do they have to be LONG stories, or just little short ones? I can do a bunch of little short stories, but if it's a full-length one everyday, there goes me. XD

Nalyd: They gotta be good.

Anonymos: New story EVERY DAY?!?!! Are you serious?!

Sunshine: Good I can do (well, there's better writers here, but I guess I'm holding my own) but is length an issue? And do we start today?

Anonymos: Maybe I could do a sentence every day... Or a word...

TDI19: I don't even think I could've done this!! Anyway, we are gonna see who truly deserves to win this week!!

Sunshine: Sorry, Turnertang, but I'm gonna have to beat you!!! *pause* Um, no offense or anything, and good luck! (I don't have a mean bone in my body... XD)

Turnertang: Meanie! (Runs away)

Sunshine: *cries* I'm sowwy!!!! *cries more*

Turnertang: It okay. See I even brought you a gift (Holds out Goofy)

Sunshine: Yaaaaay!!!!! XD

Goofy: Garsh Sunshine, its great to meet you!

Anonymos: NOT HIM AGAIN!! (Runs away.)

Sunshine: What's with Nonnie?

Anonymos: Goofy frightens me! (Shivers.) He's creepy...

Sunshine: That was the shortest story I've ever written. Ever. And I had to cut out a bunch of words to make it fit. XD

TBTDIF: 700 words comes naturally to me...I had to even cut it close with the 400-word challenge in TDAuthor. So THIS was a real challenge to me, but it's 200 words exactly. I feel like I'll win unfairly, because I don't think tdifan1234 will post a story. I have a feeling 4 Writing Gophers will win, too, because the best are all paired up against Typing Bass. We should switch it around and have 2 Typing Bass face each other.

TBTDIF (again): It's impossible to tell a writer's persoality with 200 words or less...

Nalyd: Then this is gonna get a lot harder.

TBTDIF: What's the next challenge gonna be? A story in second-person?

TBTDIF: And why are the stories due June 1st and not TODAY? I still have school on Jube 1st.

Nalyd: So that people have enough time. One day wouldn't be enough. Round two entries due Wednesday, and finals are due Friday.

Usitgz: Thank you Nalyd! It would be tough to do it one per day for me!

TBTDIF: I think I'll get to the semifinals, but if I can beat Sunshine, it'll be a real challenge. Well, I could face Usitgz or Sorrel.

Sprinklemist: I apologize if my story is too dark...

TBTDIF: *worries* Are the four people eliminated from the tournament now eliminated from the competition all together?

Zak:I can't believe I'm saying this, but.... I drop out. I'll be on vacay for two weeks, and it wouldn't be fair if I tayed on during that time. So, sorry, but I quit.

Sprinklemist: I'm personally sorry to see another good competitor drop out. Have fun on vacation, though.

TDI19: Sorry you have to leave Zak.... we will miss you!

Sunshine: First DJ now Zak... the competitors are dropping like flies!!! Well, not me! I'm staying in for the whole thing!!!

Challenge 6
Nalyd: Here's your challenge, and its a doozey. A tournament! We will pair you up with another person, and best story movies on. The winner wins invincibility for their team.

Round One
Nalyd: Okay, this week is another length one. The stories can only be UP TO 200 words. Here are the match ups: Sorreltail18 vs. Zakkoroen; Sunshine vs. Turnertang; Thebiggesttdifan vs. Tdifan1234; Anonymos vs. Usitgz; and Owenguy101 vs. Sprinklemist. TDA and TDI must be spelled out as three words. The stories will be judged on grammar and spelling. Round One stories are due June 1st. (In the morning)

Winners

TDI19: The winner is, for me, Sorrel!!!

TDI19: My vote goes to.... Sunshine!!!

Nalyd: Yes. Sunshine.

TDI19: I vote for Thebiggesttdifan!! Crackalakin!

TDI19: I thought both of you did pretty well, but one was way better. My vote is for Anonymos!!

Nalyd: Yeah. Good job.

TBTDIF: I don't agree! Just because Anony has topped Usitgz every time doesn't mean he can't win now.

TDI19: I thought Anonymos' story was better. Just wait for it.

Anonymos: Thanks, TDI19!

TBTDIF: I still say Usitgz was better.

Usitgz: Thanks TBTDIF.

TDI19: My vote is for...... Sprinklemist!!

Round Two
Nalyd: Sorrel, Sunshine, Anonymos, Sprinklemist and Thebiggesttdifan wins! The new match-ups are...Sorrel vs. TBTDIF and Sunshine vs. Anonymos vs. Sprinklemist. Challenge will be posted soon.

TDI19: Before we get all set, there is a twist!! Usitgz is coming back as a wildcard!!!!!!

TDI19: The new matchups will be Sorrel vs. TBTDIF, Sunshine vs. Anonymos, and Sprinklemist vs. Usitgz!!!

Nalyd: The challenge is the same as the first, only it's just 100 words! If the Gophers are in the finals, Gophers win by default. It's due Wednesday morning.

Owenguy101: Good luck everyone. Hey. Where do I go?

Dprinklemist: You missed the first part of the tournament which was yesterday and the day before. Sorry.

Owenguy101: I didn't miss it. I just couldn't finish my story in time.

Sprinklemist: Oh.

Anonymos: I'd like to see Sunshine top that! Although, I know she will...

Sprinklemist: I'm glad I wasn't up against it. I loved it, Anonymos.

Anonymos: Thanks, Sprinkle! Loved yours too!

TBTDIF: It's one thing for Nalyd to be the only judge. But it's another for him and TDI19 to be cohosting. TDI19's a WAY better player than a judge. These length challenges are seriosuly scarring my habits! 700 words in a story comes naturally!

TDI19: OK Then! You know what? If I am such a horrible judge, how about I enter the competition then TBTDIF???? Thanks for the insult! Also, Nalyd has come up with EVERY CHALLENGE until next week's one! So thanks again.

Nalyd: ... Dude, we'd still be on week one if it weren't for TDI19. I'm too lazy to read 19 stories a week. I came up with this challenge, so if you've got something to say, say it to me. TDI19 has mostly been helping judge and fix my errors.

TDI19: Nalyd, it's OK. Maybe I am a really bad judge.

Nalyd: *rolls eyes* You are NOT a bad judge, you're great. IDK what TBTDIF is going on about.

TDI19: It is because I picked Anonymos over Usitgz, probably! But he is back as a wildcard now!

TBTDIF: Sorry, but I'm just fighting the urge to quit. It's just that you've...well...I'm sorry. I may think bad things about you, but you're still a great guy, TDI19. You are an amazing player, that is true.

TDI19: OK, sorry for getting upset. Thanks. I will try harder.

Sprinklemist: I don't think it's a bad challenge or that TDI19's a bad judge. The challenge is hard because it puts a limit on our words, but our creativity should be able to shine through no matter how many words there are. It's only one challenge out of many (and there were a few challenges that I felt my creativity suffer, but I tried to move passed it and make it work).

Sunshine: I can honestly say my story is horrible... the reason my stories are any good is 'cause I use lots of different descriptive words, and with such a small word limit I can't do that... X( For the love of tomato sauce, Nalyd, no more length challenges!!! I beseech thee! (Whatever that means! XD) Or at least make it, like, 400 words!!!

Usitgz: Thanks for putting me back in TDI19, you aren't a bad judge no matter what anyone tells you. The challenge I'm OK, with I actually liked two hundred words since I can't go on the computer much.

TBTDIF: The reason MY stories are any good is because I use voice. A LOT of voice. The writing sounds like me. And with 100 words I had so many quotations that I couldn't use much voice. But Sunshine, your writing DEFINITELY sounds like you. You're the best author of us left. Then Sprinkle, then Anonymous, then maybe me. But you're the best.

TBTDIF: And to the judges, I'm sorry. But I liked Total Drama Author better...mainly because of the format. Random-picked teams, and it's not really a popularity contest...I'm more criticizing American Idol and whatever other shows use that besides Total Drama Island.

Nalyd: Next season, me and the winner will probably go back to the original format. Juding time!

Sunshine: Me the best? Yeah right. Sprinklemist's writing kicks my writing's butt any day. And of course, Gigi... *sniffle* I MISS YOU GIGI!!!!!!

Sprinklemist: Your writing has a butt? O_O I miss Gigi, too, but at least we can still read Life After Lies.

Round Three
Nalyd: Okay, the three people moving on are... Obviously TBTDIF... and...

TDI19: Agreed...

Nalyd: And I'm going with... Anonymos.

TDI19: Yeah... the perfect "don't judge a book by its' cover" theme! Loved it!!

Nalyd: After much debate, we've decided.... SPRINKLEMIST will not be moving on. Usitgz is the third finalist. Usitgz, the bass's first win is all up to you..

Anonymos: YEAH! Final round! Whoo! Let's do the wave! (Starts wave, but then realizes no one is doing it.) Or not...

Sprinklemist: *starts wave with Anonymos* Wait... I didn't move on? *stops the wave and begins crying*

Sunshine: *break dances for some reason* Oh wait, I don't know how to break da- *spins into wall* I'm okay!!!

Nalyd: The challenge is.... FIFTY WORDS!!!!!!! XD Remember Ustigz, your team is counting on you.

Sprinklemist: *stops crying* I'm glad I was eliminated in a way. 100 words was hard enough. When is this one due?

Sunshine: I really can't believe I'm saying this, but... WOOHOO!!!! I GOT ELIMINATED!!! XD (If I had to do this, I think my head probably would've exploded...)

Nalyd: Friday. It's due Friday.

Sunshine: Once this is over, Renrut, you owe us for all the torture this challenge put everyone through. XD

Anonymos: FIFTY?!! RENRUT IS KILLING MY CREATIVITY!!! WAAAH!! (Sobs.)

TBTDIF: I was talking to my friend and he said "Fifty words is hard?" He doesn't know how hard 50 words can be.

Turnertang: 50 words is really hard Nalyd!

Sprinklemist: It could have been 2 words, I guess.

Nalyd: Limited words is the ultimate test for an author. TBTDIF, we had the challenges planned so complainging will change nothing. No, only the finals for this challenge. Still got 8 weeks!

TBTDIF: Yer goin' down, Anonymos...yer goin' down. *suddenly changes personality* If I win this competition, will you get me a pass to be on a reality TV show, Nalyd?

Sprinklemist: I find very little funny... Anonymos story is on the list. *dies laughing... figuratively*

Nalyd: What do you mean "a pass to be on a reality TV show?" Also, you and Anonymos are on the same team... o.O

Anonymos: NO WAY!! I WON!!! :D

Sprinklemist: Thanks for winning! Yay!

Usitgz: Good job, Anonymos.

Anonymos: Thanks! Your story was awesome too!

And the winner is....
Nalyd: ANOYNMOS! You were great even with fifty words. You told a whole atory, I think.

Typing Bass - Last Vote
Usitgz is safe for being int he finals.

Who will be the last Bass to be eliminated before next week's merge? Sorreltail18 Turnertang Tdifan1234

Nalyd: Tdifan1234 is out, receiving more total votes than ANYONE else! Final eight, I dub thee... THE BEST SELLERS!!!!!!!

Week Seven Chat
TDI19: Congrats to the Bestsellers!! I remember when I got this far, I felt so accomplished!! How do you guys feel about the competition?

Turnertang: Well, I didn't think I would make it this far because so many authors are better than me here but since I made it I'm gonna have to try even harder!

TDI19: Good luck!!

Turnertang: Thanks!

Sunshine: I have a good one for Izzy! Spending a day in law school! (Meaning she'd have to not be insane!!! :o)

TDI19: Perfect!!! I was thinking something along those lines, but could not think of one for sure!! Do it!!

Sunshine: *goes to look up random law stuffs*

TBTDIF: I'm working on one about Trent and Geoff.

(Tdifan1234: DX I could have done this challenge so well!)

Owenguy101: I can do a good story with Owen, Geoff, Duncan, Trent, or even Ezekiel. BTW. When's the challenge due?

TDI19: Pick only one please, and it is due Thursday, as always.

Sprinklemist: Nalyd gave me permission to do "Chris hosting a children's program". Yay!

TBTDIF: My story's finally done. I think I made the ending a little too epic, but at least it's technically happy. Also Dylan, Matt, Stephen and Greg are a parody of the Jets from West Side Story.

Usitgz: Barely finished the challenge this week, phew!

Challenge Seven
This week's challenge will involve you writing about the TDI characters doing things that are very hard for them or you would never see them doing. Here are your choices:


 * Owen- Fasting for a week.
 * Gwen- Being a cheerleader.
 * Heather- Donating time to a charity.
 * Duncan- Being a police officer for a day.
 * Leshawna- Giving up her cell phone for a week.
 * Geoff- Not going to the biggest, most fun party of the year
 * Lindsay- Taking a very hard test.
 * Trent- Giving up guitar.
 * Eva- Taking anger management classes.
 * Courtney- Dating Harold.
 * Beth- Become a model.
 * Katie and Sadie- Moving away from one another. (Tell the story of both.)
 * Justin- Being ugly.
 * Noah- Playing sports.
 * Ezekiel- Going to public school.
 * Chef Hatchet- Owning a gourmet restaurant.

If you come up with a great idea for Izzy, DJ, Bridgette, Harold, Cody, or Chris, and want to use it, just let either host/judge know. You will be judge on creativity, spelling, grammar, and the skill of emphasizing the conflict and stress of the situation the character is dealing with. Good luck guys!!

Judging (7)
Nalyd: TDI19, I'll get the first five people, k? (I'll do some more later, TDI19 if you finish your three and have extra time could you score Turnertang or Anonymos?)

Nalyd: Okay, i think SUnshien wins invincibility.
 * Sorrel-No story. Sad.
 * Sunshine-Very well done. This is classic Sunshine.
 * TBTDIF- I was definitely shocked by this touching drama. Excellent. Just excellent.
 * Anonymos- This story was awesome!! It was hilarious!! When I came up with the Eva and Anger Management Classes theme, I knew it would be good, but not this great!!
 * Turnertang- Pretty funny, yet sort of predictable. Real potential here. Definitely good.
 * Owenguy- No story, could be in trouble.
 * Sprinklemist- OK, it was funny! You kept present tense the whole time! You emphasized the conflict! However, for me, this was very, very unbelievable, and don't kill me for this. It was because the kids were way too old for the activities that you had in the story, and it was kind of awkward for me to picture that. You should have done like 6 or 7 year olds.
 * Usitgz- Okay... some grammar/spelling issues. Seemed more like a TDA episode than Justin struggling with uglyness.

TDI19: I agree. I believe Anonymos does as well!

Best Sellers vote
Nalyd: Okay, Sunshine and Anonymos are invincible.

TDI19: OK.... and with 7 votes, we say goodbye to Sorrel!! Congratulations to this season's TOP 7!!! Thebiggesttdifan, Anonymos, Turnertang, Sunshine, Owenguy, Sprinklemist, and Usitgz!! However, there is always a twist with Nalyd, isn't there? We are welcoming back TWO competitors, last season's runner-up to me, Tdifan1234, and one of this season's most controversial contestants, Kenzen11!!! They are being brought back due to writing new stories at Playa des Authors 2, and qualifying to return!!

Anonymos: Welcome back, guys!

Nalyd: *laughs* Welcome back, dudes. hope you enjoyed your time *hold up fingers in an L shape* as losers! *sees everyone staring* Welcome back...

Tdifan1234: :-P Well, It's good to be back! Even tough I've only been gone for a week...

Sprinklemist: Welcome back.

TBTDIF: I can't wait to see another one of Kenzen's humiliating stories...but at least I'm in the Top 9!

Sprinklemist: There's no reason to say something mean like that.

Nalyd: Yeah, stop being pointlessly unkind or it will result in a ban.

TBTDIF: *looks down guiltily* Sorry, guys, I've just been stressed. Maybe I should just shut my mouth or something and only post stories. No, that would be even worse...I'm sorry Kenzen.

Sunshine: *pats TBTDIF on the back* Top Nine! Awesome! Welcome back, guys! Personally, I think it's great that you came back, Kenzen. Your big chance to redeem yourself!!! I know this sounds corny, but I think it's great to be surrounded by so many awesome authors!!! *scoops everyone up into a big group hug*

Nalyd: *heads over to playa des authors to record episode one of TDAuthor Aftermath!* (Check it out!)

TBTDIF: Turnertang and Usitgz have really improved here. I expect to see them in the final five. I bet I'll come in, like, 5th or 6th or something.

Sunshine: You've actually really surprised me. No offense, but when I joined, I didn't see you as a big threat. Then you started writing and your skill just blew me away. I think you're better than me! I can see you as fourth place, if not even further!

TBTDIF: Thanks. But Turnertang especially really has the potential now to be someone in the final 5. He certainly has great ideas. I remember in Total Drama Author when I lost--to Ricky490! Turnertang is like Ricky, only Ricky had a bit less potential than Turnertang.

Sunshine: Whatever happened to Ricky...?

Sprinklemist: I feel like I started strong, but these last two challenges have been way too hard to wrap my mind around... This camp is really helping you guys to improve, though. That's what it's for.

Turnertang: What I want to know is why I have low on the chart for this week when TBTDIF has more votes than me.

TDI19: You had the second most votes when the vote actually closed. Those votes are extra and don't count against anyone.

Turnertang: Thank you for explaining, Chief TDI19.

TDI19: De nada!! BTW... besides TBTDIF, who already voiced his opinion, how I am doing as a judge?

Turnertang: I think you are a great judge! When you review my stories you give me construction criticism which helps me do better in my next story.

TDI19: Thanks dude!

Turnertang: Your welcome! Is the challenge tomorrow?

TDI19: I assume so.... Nalyd actually has not told be anything.

Turnertang: Oooooh, a mystery. Don't worry Detective Turnertang is on the case! (Pulls out a Sherlock Holmes hat)

TBTDIF: Okay...NOW LET'S SING ALL STAR FOR MAKING IT THIS FAR! Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me...

Kenzen:I hope i do alot better

Sprinklemist: I think you've improved times a million from your first judging, TDI19. The only thing I don't love is when you guys declare a winner for the whole thing(of course I hate it when American Idol does it, but Adam lost. Woo!)... What was I talking about?

Turnertang: Yeah, TDI19 you are a great judge!

TDI19: Thanks guys!! I will not declare a winner, Nalyd is, though. I HATE WHEN IDOL DOES THAT!!!!!!!

TBTDIF: Is the second challenge today?

Week Eight Chat
Nalyd: I'll post the challenge soon!

TBTDIF: Sorry, but I'm a bit eager and impatient to get the challenge going. So what do you mean by "soon?" Sorry I'm annoying you, Nalyd.

Sprinklemist: My biggest weakness... Poetry...

TBTDIF: Man, haikus I never do. Limericks are occasional. Maybe I should go with the Shakespeare Sonnet...what is that anyway?

TDI19: A Shakespearean sonnet is a classical poem written in the form ABAB CDCD EFEF GG, with the two G's being a rhyming couplet.

TBTDIF: Sounds interesting. May I do two poems?

Nalyd: Yes, but we'll only judge one.

Sunshine: ...and I realize as I try to write this that I am only good at writing free-verse poetry... and sort of haikus... MUST THINK OF HAIKU!!! *headdesk*

Sunshine: Okay, here's my haiku... wow that's bad... XD

Owenguy101: Need to think of a poem. I'm going to fail.

Sprinklemist: *edits it a bit*

Sprinklemist: Your poem doesn't fit any of the criteria, owenguy. A haiku is made up of three lines. The first line has five syllables, the second has seven syllables, and the third had five syllables.

TBTDIF: *is about to say something bad about Owenguy's poem but decides against it* Your poem is just free verse, Owenguy. Might as well do a Shakespeare sonnet.

TDI19: And we are just waitin' for Tdifan1234.

Nalyd: First of all, TBTDIF, there is no need to imply that you want to say something bad! Its a good poem! However, Owenguy, the poem you did does not match the requirement for the challenge and will result in a bad review.

TBTDIF: And it's OVAHHHHHHHHH! Tdifan, you did pretty good!

Sprinklemist: Guys, just because TDIBF made comments that may have offended you, doesn't mean he should be voted out. This is a writing competition not a popularity contest. P.S. I really wanted to do a sonnet, but like I said, poetry is my weakness. I tried to figure out how to write one by doing extra research, but I just couldn't understand the ab bc... whatever. Sorry.

Anonymos: Nalyd and TDI19, I don't want to be offensive or like, questioning your power or anything, but out of a limerick, a haiku, or a Shakespearean sonnet, which would you have picked to do?

TBTDIF: Thanks, Sprinklemist. But I don't think it'll convince anyone. Guess I have to head home...(gets suitcases)...GOODBYE! *sobs*

Nalyd: Anonymos, I don't see how you're questioning our power. I would've dove a sonnet, because a limmerick and haiku are too short.

TDI19: Yeah... that question is fine. Like I told you before, I probably would not have, but I am just telling you never let yourself get lazy in this competition. Sonnets do sound interesting though....

Sunshine: One, I feel I should point out that I'm randomly not on the voting poll, and two, I was going to write a sonnet, but when I started 1) I just couldn't find any good rhymes, and 2) it just plain started sounding stupid... so I gave up and wrote a haiku... *headkeyboard*

TBTDIF: Well, school's over. Gone. For seventy days. Soon they're probably gonna lock the doors and not let anyone in. *sighs* I need TDA2.

TDI19: Lol, Sunshine, I think it is just because Nalyd is so used to you being invincible.

Nalyd: My bad... heh.... if they voted for Sunshine we would've saved her anyway.

Anonymos: I thought you couldn't save after we got to the merge.

Nalyd: I guess not. I forgot then...

Sprinklemist: I don't think she was in any danger.

Anonymos: Even so.

Sprinklemist: Yeah, I know what you mean.

Challenge Eight
Nalyd: Another classic from last season; Total Drama Poems! You must write a haiku, limmerick, or Shakespearean sonnet. (Any questions ask me) They will be judged on if you worte that kind of poem correctly, how the poem relates to TDI; and spelling and grammar will count based on which poem you choose.

Nalyd Renrut's Reviews
Nalyd: TDI19 and I are both writing reviews for each story. FIRST of all. I'm disappointed in ALL OF YOU. No Shakespearean Sonnets? None of you pushed yourselves! You may have made it to the merge, but if you think its time to get lazy, drop out now.


 * Sunshine - This was a good one. I liked it.
 * TBTDIF - You technically wrote it correctly, but I'm pretty sure limericks are supposed to be funny.
 * Anonoymos - Nice. I liked how it rhymed.
 * Turnetang - You misspelled enemies. pretty good, but I'm pretty sure the lines need a relatively close amount of syllables.
 * Owenguy - You completely failed this week. You didn't do any of the poems required.
 * Sprinklemist - It might be because I'm a sucker for Cody stuff, but it was good.
 * Usitgz - Good, but I feel like you wasted the last line.
 * Tdifan1234 - Funny. Great poem.
 * Kenzen11 - Seriously? in the whole week you couldn't finish a haiku???????????

Nalyd: Well, my vote for invincibility goes to.... Tdifan1234.

TDI19's Reviews
TDI19: Hey guys! From the top 9, it will only get harder from here. Be ready for the unexpected. You still have nearly two months of competition left! I do completely agree with Nalyd that you can not let your cares down this far in to the competition. We saw what happened when that happens in the earlier weeks.


 * Sunshine- Hey Sunshine! Your poem... for me, was just fair. I mean, you rock at stories. Your haiku was very simple, but still good.
 * TBTDIF- It was pretty well written, but, I checked Wikipedia, and it says that limericks are supposed to be "witty and humorous", which, in essence, it was not.
 * Anonymos- Not bad, not bad..... You got lucky with the rhyming! :)
 * Turnertang- Well done! This one definitely had the humorous quality a limerick needs. The only problem was that the lines were not similar amounts of syllables the whole way through. This is what it was: 11, 6, 13, 7, 9. All of them were different from each other, which kind of messed up the poem's flow.
 * Owenguy- No offense, but you need to learn a little more about poetry. The standard verse for a haiku is a three-line poem with the form 5, 7, 5. You did a free-verse poem... which was not really that good, and was not allowed.
 * Sprinklemist- Nice job. Sweet, well-written.
 * Ustigz- I loved the first two lines. They were witty and good. The last line was just sort of there, though. It was kind of like a giant stain on what could have been a wonderful haiku silk blanket.
 * Tdifan- I remember last season.... you came out of the blue in poetry week, and knocked everyone's socks off! It was great! I hate to put down your poem this season.......

and I'M NOT GOING TO!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was clever, witty, rhymed, fun to read! It just had everything!! Why were you eliminated?? I think after you start to write more and more, no one will even remember your blunders earlier, and your way to early elimination!
 * Kenzen11- Hey.... um, I feel kind of awkward here. Last time... this was pretty bad when I reviewed you. I am going to be nice this time. The start of your haiku looked very good. However, you couldn't come up with a last line? Awww... that makes me sad. That makes the poem rather confusing.

TDI19: Tdifan for INVINCIBILITY!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Everyone else, good luck on the vote this week. :)

Best Sellers Vote 2
Nalyd: With Tdifan invincible, who will go?

Nalyd: With eight votes, TBTDIF is out! The first Gopher to go not by choice... Y'all can talk here.

Turnertang: I can't believe I'm in the final 8!

Nalyd: Good job, you deserve it.

Turnertang: Thank you!

Usitgz: same here, after being the third one out last season I was afraid I wouldn't even make it to the final 13!

Sunshine: FINAL EIGHT??? *passes out, then randomly wakes up* So, uh, when's the next challenge? I WANT TO WWWRRRIIITTTEEE!!!! (LOL watch a kajillion people come yell at me saying if I want to write I should work on my fanfics...)

Week Nine Chat
Nalyd: We're nearing the end people! From now on, when all the stories are done we will judge.

Owenguy101: Thank goodness. A challenge that's not poetry.

Tdifan1234: So, We make an adution tape for a TDI character for another reality show?

Nalyd: Yes, exactly!

Tdifan1234: ok. Thanks!

Tdifan1234: LOL, Nonny! LOVE IT!!!! XD

Anonymos: Thank you! I can't wait to read yours!

Nalyd: I hope this week is better than last week...

Anonymos: Isn't it better already?

Tdifan1234: I really liked last week's challenge. We should have poetry challenges more often... XD JK

Sprinklemist: Your poetry rocks. There should be a poetry camp... Just not this camp.

Tdifan1234: Thanks. Hey, that would actually be a good idea!

Sprinklemist: Only you shouldn't start the camp, you should compete, and I can't judge poetry very well.

Owenguy101: When does the judging start?

Sunshine: Fear my somewhat bad story about a show I don't even watch. FEAR IT. XD

Sprinklemist *eyes bug out at current poll results* Anyway, I realize now that my story was pretty self-indulgent, as funny as it was, and could be only fully understood by a big ANTM fan. I'm just glad that I'm safe this week. Thanks judges!

Usitgz: I have a bad feeling about tonight.

Challenge Nine
Nalyd: Sorry for the delay but I thought TDI19 was gonna update... heh... OKAY! This week you are writing an audition tape for a TDI character, if they were to audition for another show, after TDI, but before TDA. It will eb judged on creativity, originality, spelling and grammar. GO AUTHORS! GO!

Sunshine's Story
The camera turns on and reveals Heather seated in front of her vanity mirror, dozens of beauty products lined up in front of it. She is wearing a simple yet attractive red dress, obviously rare and expensive. She looks to the camera with her usual haughty, makeup-covered expression. Her appearance is that of a perfect, professional model- that is, except for her sloppily shaved head.

“Hello,” she opens snobbishly, “I’m Heather. And I KNOW I have what it takes to be America’s Next Top Model.”

“First of all, I’ve had experience in the field.” She explains. “I was the winner of the local child modeling competition for three years when I was young. Secondly, I have impeccable fashion sense.” She gestures to her outfit as proof. “Thirdly, I’ve loyally watched the last twelve cycles of the show. I know what’s coming to me. And finally, I have the beauty of a professional model; from my makeup to my-”

She seems about to say ‘my hair’, but realizes that she no longer has her flowing black locks. She runs a hand over the thin, patchy remains of her hair, looking regretful.

“D-don’t let my hair stop you from picking me!” She declares, embarrassed. “It’s growing back!” She sits in silence for a minute, then whines, “It IS!” With an annoyed sigh, she moves forward and flicks the camera off.

Anonymos's Story
Lindsay's Audition for Iron Chef

Lindsay is pictured in a hot tub, as the camera zooms in to her upper body only. She is sipping a drink, and she accidentally spills it in the hot tub. “Oh, oops! That wasn’t supposed to happen!” She climbs out of the hot tub, and wraps herself in a towel. “I think I should be on America’s Next Top Model because I am friendly, sweet and pretty!”

Lindsay is interrupted by her mother, and she says, “Lindsay, you’re auditioning for Iron Chef, remember?”

“I am?” Lindsay asks, in her usual ditzy way. Her mother nods, “Oh, well, then I should be on Iron Chef because I am such a good chef! Well, chef-ette! That is the correct term for a female chef, isn’t it?”

“Lindsay,” Lindsay’s mother says, “There is no term for a female chef.”

“Oh, okay then,” Lindsay smiles, “I’ll just show you some of my cooking skills!”

She starts walking off to her kitchen. Her mother stops her and says, “Lindsay, the kitchen is the other way.”

“Oh, right!” Lindsay nods.

The camera cuts to Lindsay, smiling, waving and standing on a runway.

“Lindsay,” Her mother sighs, “For the last time, you are NOT auditioning for America’s Next Top Model. You are auditioning for Iron Chef.”

“Right!” Lindsay says.

The camera cuts to Lindsay’s kitchen.

“I am going to show you how I cook!” Lindsay smiles, “Today Chef-ette Lindsay will be making lobster!” She picks up a tank and puts it on the table. She struggles with the weight. “Before I start to cook these guys, I want you to meet them all. First we have Lucy,” She points to lobster, “This one is Ferdinand,” She points to a lobster with a mustache, “And this one is Helen,” She points to another creature in the tank. She looks at it hard for a minute, “Wait a second, that one is dead!” She pokes it and it hisses at her. “Well, I know which one of you is going in the pot first!” The camera zooms out to reveal a pot of boiling water next to her. She drops Ferdinand into the pot of water, and some of it splashes onto her arm. She screams and starts running in aimless circles around her kitchen. She calms down and reaches for another lobster. She takes it out of the pot. “How are you doing, Lucy?” Lucy takes her claw and pinches Lindsay’s nose. She screams and resumes running around the kitchen in aimless circles, this time with a lobster dangling from her nose. Lindsay eventually thrusts the lobster into the pot. She looks at the last lobster in the tank, reaches for it, then decides against it.

She checks a clock, then realizes she can’t read it. She sighs then says, “This is taking to long!” She turns the heat up to the highest it can go. The fire blazes, and kitchen towel catches on fire. Lindsay runs away to get a fire extinguisher. She returns to realize that the fire has encased the entire kitchen. She starts spraying the kitchen madly with the fire extinguisher, but it is too strong. She runs out of the kitchen.

The camera cuts to her parents waiting in the dining room. “So, Lindsay, where is our meal?” Her father asks.

“Hey, I have a great idea!” Lindsay brightens up.

“You do?!” Her parents are shocked.

“Yeah!” Lindsay smiles, “Let’s get out of the house, and go out to dinner!”

“Um, okay!” Her parents say.

The camera cuts to the restaurant, and it is burned down.

Lindsay’s father turns to the camera, “They let her cook a little. She chopped some carrots. HOW DOES THAT RESULT IN A FIRE?!!”

“Calm down, dear…” Lindsay’s mother sighs.

Lindsay turns to the camera and says, “And that’s why I should be on America’s Next Top Model!”

“IRON CHEF!!!” Her mother screams.

“I mean Iron Chef!” Lindsay giggles.

The camera shuts off.

Turnertang's Story
Leshawna's audition for American Idol

“So, you think you have what it takes to be the next American Idol?” asked Simon “I don’t think I know.” Leshawna replied confidently “Lets hear what you got, dawg.” Randy replied “Don’t cha with your girlfriend was hot like me. Don’t cha-“ Leshawna sang, “That’s enough singing.” Simon said as he interrupted Leshawna “Wasn’t it great?” Leshawna asked, “My ears will never be the same.” Simon replied “Yo, that was one of the worst performances of the season.” Randy commented, “Well, no one asked you two to answer me.” Leshawna replied rudely “You tell them, girl!” Paula yelled, “It’s a no from me.” Simon said “Its obviously a no.” Randy said, “Yes! Yes, yes, yes. You go girl!” Paula screamed “Your not going to Hollywood.” Simon commented, “I’ll show you!” Leshawna yelled as she charged at him and started punching him “Security!” Simon yelled as two men came and grabbed Leshawna “I got fifth place on Total Drama Island!” Leshawna yelled as she was dragged away “Isn’t she delightful.” Simon said sarcastically “Where are you taking me?” Leshawna asked as the two men kept dragging here “Right here.” one of the men said as he threw Leshawna into a dungeon “You can’t leave me here!” Leshawna yelled “Yes we can.” said the other man as they walked away “I’ll be back next season!” Leshawna screamed, “A chill just went down my spine.” Simon commented as he drank some soda “Why?” Randy asked, “I think that the weird girl is auditioning again.” Simon replied, “I’ll bust out of here!” Leshawna screamed as she threw herself against the bars “Well, it looks like Leshawna was thrown in the dungeon.” Ryan said outside the auditioning room “The what?” Leshawna’s Mother asked “Nothing.” Ryan replied, “I will bust out! They need me for Total Drama Action!” Leshawna screamed

Owens auditions for the biggest loser

Owen sets up his video camera on him. “Hey there folks!” said Owen “I’m so fat that I think most of you think I’m a biggest loser! The reason I’m this fat is that I eat a whole lot. Anyway, I sure hope I’ll do well in this. See yah!” Owen finishes up by burping and the tape finishes. A few weeks later Owen is talking with Alison Sweeney about his audition. “Well. Do you like it?” asked Owen. “Yes, but you forgot one thing.” Alison Sweeney said. “What?” asked Owen. “It’s just not about being fat. It also means losing weight.” she said. “What?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” screamed Owen. Later, Owen is having lunch with the boys from TDI. “So you didn’t join because you’re going to lose weight.” said Duncan. “Yeah. I thought I was going to get a heart attack.” said Owen. “Loser.” said Duncan.

Justin Auditions for America's Next Top Model

Starring:

Tyra Banks, Retired top model (She isn't the main character but she demanded top billing)

Justin, Arrogant, alleged hot guy

Miss J. Alexander, Flamboyant runway diva coach extraordinaire

Mr. Jay Manuel, Less flamboyant, but still flamboyant, art director

Tyra Banks and her two fellow judges are sitting at a desk in front of a runway. Tyra is wearing a strange dress with a dramatic hood. Mr. Jay is wearing a pink shirt that is unbuttoned to reveal his pectoral implants. Miss J. is wearing a baggy black dress, and an unexplained Mickey Mouse ear hat. Tyra looks at a photo of the previous contestant. She says, "This girl is great. Her face is stunning, and she photographs well. Her left pinky toe looks fat, though."

Miss J. says, "She'll never make it in the modeling world. Mmm hmm."

"Let's meet the next auditionee," Mr. Jay says, "Her name is Justin."

Tyra looks confused, which is hard to distinguish on a model, and says, "Justin... That's a weird name for a girl."

Mr. Jay sarcastically says, "Right, Tyra." He then proceeds to make a fake cough.

"Boy, you betta see a doctah for that cough!" Miss J. says flamboyantly.

Justin walks in and the judges gasp. "What?" He asks. "Oh yeah, my stunning beauty has left you all speechless. I get that all the time. So can I be on your show?"

Tyra says in an over dramatic way, "You are gorgeous. You have marvelous bone structure, but this is a modeling competition for female contestants."

Justin frowns and Mr. Jay says, "Don't frown! You'll wrinkle your beautiful face!"

Miss J. slaps Mr. Jay and says, "Don't even put that in the realm of possibilities."

"You only audition girls?" Justin says. "That's extremely sexist."

Tyra randomly snaps and yells, "Until you are paraded down a runway in nothing but a bikini, and treated like a piece of meat, don't you ever, ever, call me sexist!" The Jays applaud the dramatic speech.

Justin says, "Believe me, I know your pain. These looks are a blessing and a curse." Justin removes his shirt and flexes in front of the judges.

Tyra says, "Forget this competition. I'm giving you the $100,000 Gluteus Maximus modeling contract without even competing. Competition over, y'all!" The Jays nod in agreement. Tyra continues, "Let's do the photo shoot for '6teen Magazine', together." Tyra quickly rips off her hooded black dress, revealing a sequined gold dress.

"My eyes!" Miss J. exclaims at seeing the glimmering dress.

Justin says, "Oh please, like I would pose with a has-been like you." Justin makes his hands resemble a frame around his face. "This face is fresh. I don't want your old, creepiness to rub off on me."

Tyra says, "I can understand that. Hi, Janice!"

Mr. Jay says, "He has a point."

"Besides," Justin says, "I'm contractually obligated to appear on the next season of Total Drama Whatever. So I'll have to pursue modeling, afterward. I'll take that contract, though."

"Sure," Tyra says, "Take the keys to my Corvette, too." Tyra hands Justin the contract. He signs it and leaves the runway.

Tyra says, "That was the best five minutes of my life." The Jays nod in agreement.

Heather's Audition for Survivor

"Hi. I'm Heather. Well, you probably already know that," Heather said arrogantly. She had a weird looking wig on, which didn't look real at all. "I belong on Survivor because I will bring the drama and I can play those losers like a piano!" Then, Heather's brother snuck up behind her and pulled off her wig, revealing her bald head, and ran away. "DAMIEN! YOU COME BACK HERE!" Heather yelled. She ran off screen. After about 30 seconds of hearing threatening phrases like, " This is important! Gimme back my hair!" and "You are SO gonna pay for this later!" Heather comes back with a bad wig and an innocent smile. She says, "I hope you pick me for Survivor!" She then loses her fake facade and says, "If you don't you'll pay..." She regains it and ends with, "Thank you!"

'''The End! (I know it's short...I'll possibly add more later)'''

Kenzen11's Story
Harold's Audition for How to Survive a Japanese Game Show 

. *Camera turns on and Harold is seen in his room*

"I have awesome skills"Harold says looking at the camera. "I mean, I have been signing autographs ever since I got home " he says holding a first edition star wars pen with a Yoda bobble head on top. "I have perfected my awesome signature" he says showing the camera a very dorky signature with a little picture of a wookiee in the bottom right on the paper in his notebook. "You should pick me for How to Survive a Japanese Game Show because I can handle anything" wheezes Harold. "I put up with Duncan!" he said, out rolls onto screen a montage of every prank Duncan ever pulled on him. "Harold honey, dinner"Harold's mother yells. "Okay mom" Harold yells back. "Okay and I need another signature, honey" she yells back. "Gosh"he replies to his mom and turns away from the camera. He then turns back to the camera and says "Okay well got to go" Harold says in Japanese but he actually said I have watermelons in my pants.

. *Camera goes to static*

Two days later as he rides the bus heading to total drama action. He reads a letter from How to Survive a Japanese Game Show and, as he reads Duncan sneaks up behind him. Duncan then gives him a mega wedgie. After which, Harold stops groaning and he finishes the letter. They have denied him because Star Wars creeps Japanese people out and the bobble head reminds them of the much feared Godzilla. And he said his famous "Gosh".

Nalyd Renrut's Reviews

 * Sunshine - Hilarious! Well done in all categories.
 * Anonymos - Just like Sunshine's, perfect!
 * Turnertang - Not very good. LeShawna seemed more Eva like. Lots of grammar and spelling issues.
 * Owenguy - That was hilarious! Very original with Owen not realizing you had to lose weight. I've been quoting this all week. "It's not just about being fat."
 * Sprinklemist - Hilarious! I got a little confused at the end, though. Overall, well done.
 * Usitgz - Okay, it was great until Sadie's mom. I had to re-read her first line a few times to understand because, well, you forgot pronouns!
 * Tdifan1234 - It could have been better. It was just okay.
 * Kenzen11 - First of all, you are lucky if we don't kick you out now, and luckier if you survive the week. The story was okay, I liked the line about the watermelons. That made me LOL. BUT, the grammar was atrocious! You definitely should have re-read this at least twice. A whole lot of problems.

TDI19's Reviews
Done!!
 * Sunshine- You don't watch the show, and you do a fic about it! That's Ok... I don't watch either, and I have a camp about it! LOL! Anyway this was great. It was funny, and just worked all around. Don't doubt your amazing writing skills!
 * Anonymos- LOVED IT!!! HIlarious! Classic Lindsay, and classic you!! Great job!
 * Turnertang- This was a jumbled mess. Leshawna was WAY too agressive... not your best, sorry.
 * Owenguy- YAY! Hilarious! You were definitely at risk this week... but I think otherwise now! Great!!
 * Sprinklemist- LOL! This was hilarious! Tyra was really funny! Great! I loved how you sampled the fight with that girl in Cycle 7! LOL! For some reason, though, I hate Justin more now... "Don't you ever, ever, EVER mess with my character, Justin!"
 * Usitgz- It was pretty funny! Loved Katie's annoyance! LOL! Anyway, you still have to work on pronoun use and capitalization.
 * Tdifan- Not your best, but I still think you are here to compete and are in it to win it! Good luck!
 * Kenzen- Your grammar has improved since week 1... but it is still poor at best. Umm.... the story line was clever-ish, and the watermelons thing was so funny!! Good luck... you are going to need it.
