First off, I wanna discuss Total Drama Tropics. I know that it covers some sensitive ground at times, that's why it's rated PG-13, mostly. I just really wanted to tell the story no matter what, even if all my readers gave up on me. The story's message felt necessary for me to put out there. I'm just really glad that many of you are so supportive. I want to give a huge thanks to those of you who have stuck with the story, even though it has been dark at times. I feel that it has been going well, and I owe that to the feedback and continued support. I also feel it important to thank TDIwriter on an individual level. He helped give me private feedback on particular things to leave out, and change them around a little bit. It was a gigantic help, and I feel it made the story even better, and helped prevent offending people, as it isn't my intent to offend people with this story. Thanks so much, TDIwriter, for giving me such helpful feedback, and being an awesome friend in general. :)

Second off, the story is down to the final six, so that means characters or story four (in my main canon) are going to start popping up before you know it. This is always an exciting time, so I can't wait for it, along with the readers' speculation and comments. This story will be lighter than Total Drama Tropics, and is going back to PG. It will still have some of the usual Sprink deep subject matter and twists, however, so fans of that need not worry.

A very important fact about the story is that the competitors will not be sixteen. In fact, they are all older than eighteen. The reason for this is because of the upcoming All-Star story. Each story in this canon takes place one year after the previous one. So that means, if this story was among 16 year olds, they would be seventeen competing against 18, 19, and 20 year olds. I feel it would be weird, and kind of limit romantic story lines if the characters weren't all over eighteen for All-Stars. The characters are late teens (18 and 19) and twenties (so no senior citizens).

Despite the above paragraph's info, this does not mean that the story will handle more adult subject matter. I will take the chance to cover a few things because the characters are older, but it isn't anything adult, though, just more applicable to older people. I'm not going to list each character's ages, though, as I haven't thought to deeply about it. Most of the characters are going to be listed as having no family. This basically means they live by themselves, not that they're orphans, or have no family (even if the bio doesn't explain that). I'm letting you all know so I don't get a ton of "how old is this character" comments, or whatever.

Even with this slight change, I hope everyone still supports this next story. I have some pretty good/original ideas for it. I look forward to writing it and those interested in it's comments. :)
