User blog:AverageHero/My First & Only Fanfic: "Total Drama Nipoowin Island"

Greetings, everyone! It's Avi!

Now, just so we're clear, I haven't necessarily "returned" to the Wiki. I'm still far too busy to guarentee that I'll be here every day like I was in my past life on the Wiki. However, I will still be checking in from time and time. And since I'll still be visiting the Wiki, I figured I would try one more time to create atleast one fanfic in order to finally put all the fanfic ideas in my mind to rest!

And although I can't specify when or if it will be finished, I'm going to work on it on my own time and publish when it's completely or mostly completed. So, I'm posting this blog because I wanted to show you guys what my ideas for the story look like at this point and to get your opinions on it! If the critical response is positive, then that will give me extra incentive to finish it.

:D

Total Drama Nipoowin Island
Now, we all now how degrading Total Drama All-Stars was to the franchise as a whole, which is why I want my sole fanfic to be a "second All-Stars" season. I want to try and return the series to its more grounded state, similar to what Total Drama Island was. However, since Wawanakwa is still underwater, this grand season will take place on Nipoowin Island, which is Cree for "Death Island". It will feature a cast of twenty-four canon campers - twelve from Total Drama Island, six from Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, and six from Total Drama Pahkitew Island. I've attempted to create every possible version of the cast I would want for this story, and have repeatedly come up with one distinct cast that I feel is the final cast.

Cast // Twelve from Total Drama Island
Alejandro, labeled as The Latin Liar, was last seen in the All-Stars finale when he and Heather finally finalizaed their relationship. Although, it was short-lived when the grand prize was put into their equation once more. I chose Alejandro because he's a prominent player in the series, and I want to figure out where he and Heather stand in their relationship.

Courtney, labeled as The A Type, had a major derailing of her character in All-Stars. She was mean most of the time, but did show some character growth and have a few distinct friendships, i.e. Scott and Gwen. Both relationships were messed up when her character regressed to the worst version of herself, eliminating any growth to her character that season. I want to clarify who Courtney is and also regress her back to who she was in her debut season. I also want to work on her relationships with others.

Duncan, labeled as The Delinquent, went to jail last time we saw him. He's single, but has some friendships with Zoey and, at one point, Jo. I want to revisit those. I also want to give the entire love triangle proper closure so we can finally put that to bed. Like Courtney, he needs character clean-up.

Ezekiel, labeled as The Home-Schooled Loser, is  not going to return as a monster, I assure you. He will have recieved some rehabilitation, but retained some of his wilderness skills, making him a better player than he was when combined with his hunger for winning. His character is going to be majorly developed in this story. Maybe he'll even meet a girl...? ;D

Gwen, labeled as The Goth Chick, had a little bit of redemption in the first All-Stars season, but I think she could get a little more. Now that she's single, I want to somewhat regress her to who she was in the first few seasons, when she didn't care if everyone thought she was too mean. She also needs to become less dependent on Courtney and develop other friendships. Yada-yada. :P

Heather, labeled as The Queen Bee, is going to attempt to claw her way back to the top of the social pyramid in the game. However, she'll have a lot of competition, what with all the other antagonists that have arised since her reign in the first season. She'll also finally decide who Alejandro is to her - an obstacle that's keeping her from obtaining fame and glory... or her soulmate.

Izzy, labeled as The Wild Child, is going to... well, be wild, I guess. I also want to revisit her friendships with characters such as Sierra, Lindsay, Noah, etc. She's one of my favorite contestants and I'm glad I decided to include her in this story. Let's see how far she can go. :)

Lindsay, labeled as The Blonde, has got a second wind and wants to prove that she can win the whole sha-bam! She's got lots of allies and lots to prove! Plus, she's always been one of my favorite characters! I pretty much had to include her.

Noah, labeled as The High IQ, won't be returning alongside his buddy, Owen, but  will be returning alongside Izzy, Sierra, Tyler, etc. I want to develop his character some more now that he's become a fan favorite after World Tour. Let's see how strong of a player he can be...

Sierra, labeled as The Superfan, needs to stop being so dependent on Cody and start fangirl-ing over  everyone. She'll develop her friendship(?) with Heather and other characters like Izzy, Gwen, Noah, etc. Fingers crossed she doesn't go crazy again. Well, crazier...

Trent, labeled as The Mysterious Musican, needs redemption. Period. His character is pretty boring, but I think I can manage to make him an interesting character that everyone will want to root for. It'll also be the first time he's been around Gwen since she became single again. Who knows what's going to happen there? Oh, wait, I do. :P

Tyler, labeled as The Wannabe Jock, was also a fan favorite after World Tour. He's got friends and a steady relationship with Lindsay, but does he have a shot of winning? Will he accidentally kill himself or someone else with his clumsiness? Let's hope not.

Cast // Six from Total Drama: Revenge of the Island
Anne Maria, labeled as The Jersey Shore Reject, is going to be fleshed out this season. No, that doesn't mean she's going to wear less clothes, it means I want to make her a more rounded character. I want to give her some depth, develop some relationships, and touch on the dynamic between her and Zoey now that Mike is definitely with Zoey and Vito is no more. (God, that reset button idea was ridiculous.)

Brick, labeled as The Scaredy-Cat Cadet, could be a big threat this season. I still don't understand how Sam was in All-Stars instead of Brick, but whatever. He's back and he's not going to let anything stop him. Except maybe the dark... and Jo... or Lightning(?). Plus, there's the seasoned players from the other two casts... Here's hoping you can go all the way, Brick!

Jo, labeled as The Jockette, is back and doesn't have many friends. Except maybe Duncan. But, with that many enemies, how could I  not bring her back? It'll definitely be interesting to see how far she can go this season with 90% of the cast against her.

Lightning, labeled as The Airhead Athlete, may be dumb but if Lindsay can get smarter(?), then he has just as much a chance, right? He's got a beef with Jo for what happened in the first All-Stars season, and not many allies, so he'd better change something if he hopes at going all the way a second time.

Scott, labeled as The Devious Redneck, became quite a fan favorite after All-Stars, one of the few good things to happen that season. He also had a short-lived relationship with Courtney, which was adorable, by the way. Though it's broken, it doesn't completely seem like Scott wants it to be. Will he accept Courtney, flaws and all, and give it another shot? Or will he return to bad habits and kick her to the curve in order to rise to the top this time around?

Zoey, labeled as The Awkward Indie Chick, got everything in All-Stars. She got more friends, mad skills, a normal-ish boyfriend, and still everybody hates her. :) I have a soft spot for her adorable-ness, but I agree that her character's substance is ultimately weak and dependent on Mike. I will try my very best to change that and make her a likable character. She'll also develop relationships with people other than Mike, since Mike is not present this season. :D

Cast // Six from Total Drama Pahkitew Island
Jasmine, labeled as The Outback Survivalist, may have her quirks, but she's still a force to be reckoned with! Her and her boyfriend came close to winning last season, but ultimately lost to Sky. However, both are back, and working as a unit 100%! Coud this spell out a season victory for one of them?

Max, labeled as The Super Villain(?), lost last time when his evil-ness was overshadowed but Scarlett's insanity. Will he trust Scarlett enough to form an alliance with her, or is winning the show even his goal? Could he have become a legitimate antagonist and possible threat in-between seasons? Probably not, but we'll see.

Samey, labeled as The Nice Twin, is back due to her historic power play from last season! But, without Amy there to take her fall, will she be able to manage? Or is she the evil twin for what she did (or may have to do)? All these questions and more will be answered this season for Samey.

Scarlett, labeled as The Insanely Intelligent, has gone through some rehabilitation as well. We assume she's all evil'd out and ready to play fairly using her brains. Will she be able to reconcile with her former teammates and actually gain some allies? Will she have to resort to Max as her only friend? I'm sure she'll be able to smart her way out of anything...

Shawn, labeled as The Zombie Nut, almost won it all last time. However, he's got an awesome Aussie girlfriend and has mostly gotten over his fear of zombies! I want to make his character less depenent on that fear and make him a more round character.

Topher, labeled as The Chris Wannabe, is sort of a wild card. He failed at beoming host of the show last season rather than actually trying to make friends and become a prominent player. We don't know his full potential. Could he be the next Alejandro?

So, that's the idea and the cast! Please let me know what you think in the comments! I want atleast one fanfic to my name, and I think this might be it!
