User blog:TDIwriter/TDIwriter's (late) 5000 Edit Blog

Hello, all. I've made it to 5000 edits, and boy, am I surprised. I was sure one of you (probably that misty guy with the sprinkles) would have killed me by now. Either way, my ego and I are pleased. In this blog, I'll be discussing story related stuff, and probably some other stuff. Who knows? Certainly not I.

TDIwriter Presents: Where Are They Now?
Yeah, it's cancelled, yo. I didn't cancel it because of lack of ideas or initiative, or anything like that. Basically, I feel like I'm only known for those original twenty-two characters (rightfully so). I didn't want to hang on to them, anymore. This story was going to be the final nudge that pushed to to writing for other characters, but I decided not to wait. I don't want to act like this thing never existed, because I was proud of the first chapter and I really enjoyed writing for myself, and Rupe-Dawg. Sprinklemist actually drew the ones that were to appear in RtTDWT, but I'm not sure if I'll get those uploaded anytime soon. If you have any questions about what would have happened to someone, leave a comment and I'll let you know. It would take wicked long to write them all at once.

Total Drama: Paradise Island
I am like, super pumped for this season, people. I think the ideas I have for these characters are strong. I hope to balance out the comedy and drama more than I did with my first series of characters, who I felt were mostly comedic. The opening chapter will be mostly comedy, since there isn't a lot to work off of, drama-wise. Speaking of the season opener, it is my favorite one, so far. It's really long, I admit, but I think I succeeded in making the cast seem more ensemble than my first series. Obviously, some characters are going to speak more than others, but for the most part I feel like it is pretty well spread out.

I feel like certain characters will inevitably become fan favorites, regardless of how far they go. At this stage, based on the comments the characters have been getting, it seems like Lori, Hudson, Robin, and maybe Broderick will be fan favorites. I have to admit, those are some of my favorites to write for as far as the opening goes.

And, of course, there will be those that no matter what I do, people will loooooathe them. I'm thinking...Antonio, Cooper, Christy, and maybe Broderick. ( I'm sure Broderick will be polarizing, either way).

Series Three
I have begun to consider a third series, as Paradise Island has gotten me excited about writing stories, again. This is still purely an abstract thought, and I'm not asking for character ideas. However, some I've been considering that didn't make the cut in series one or two are a rugged, mountain man. Mostly likely Austrailian. And, a wannabe rapper. Honestly, I love Micky D. so much, I'm surprised I haven't made a character like that myself. Then again, that's probably why I haven't made one. I would try to make him different from Mick Deester, but I'm sure the similarity would be there, obviously.

Thank You
I'd like to thank everyone who supported me during my time here. Without you guys (and Lalainee), I probably would have quit before reaching 1000 edits. I've met some great friends on here. Sprink Diggity Dawg, TAU, Alice in Laynes, and my man Shane of Gold. I'm sure that if I knew you dudes (and Lalainee) in real life, we'd get along great. At least, I would hope so. As long as you all are here, my ego and I will keep coming back.

Before I close this sucker, I was inspired by Gideon's Silver Age blog to start a timeline of wiki events, lasting from the beginning through the Golden and Silver ages (which we are currently in). What do you all think?
