User blog:Thebiggesttdifan/An Extensive Review of Sprinklemist's Stories

So...yeah. I've had some opinions on Sprinklemist's stories, new, old, and oneshots, and I've never really told anyone. What better way to out them then in a blog through a bunch of reviews?

Okay, well, here I go with this.

Total Drama: Boney Island
This was Sprink's first fic on here, back in 2009. We all thought he was a woman, and that his images were really, really amazing. Only now do we realize that the images from TD:BI weren't exactly perfect.



However, this doesn't mean that the fic itself was any bad. In fact, it was actually really, really good. The characters in the story were rounded and complex, all of them pretty much being foils with at least one other character. The story's description was nice and long, detailing various things that had happened in challenges and events without being too purple. Though it took place in a Survivor-style reality show where strategy was a given, TD:BI primarily focused on character interaction and development--its underlining theme, as cited in the notes for the story, is about familial problems.

And of course, it had some really funny lines.

TD:BI is probably the least dark out of any of Sprinklemist's canon stories, and it definitely shows. Hilarious lines are everywhere--from an awkward conversation with a goth and a fairy to a crazed fanboy's elimination. From when you saw a strategist confusing a guy for a girl about three paragraphs in, you knew this story wasn't going to handle strategy--then a common focus point for the few Total Drama fics around--in a serious matter.

A revolutionary 'fic here on our wiki, Total Drama: Boney Island spawned many firsts that have become common today. It shifted primary focus and theme of a story from strategy to characters and development. It sparked the fad of hand-drawn character images. It created the modern biography page, with extensive trivia on the character's development and possible other story arcs.

Best character: Kendall. A fan favorite to pretty much everyone, he was a cynical yet unintentionally funny emo-goth hybrid that developed into a less cynical emo-goth hybrid. He had many funny moments and an awkward relationship with a sickly-sweet, completely opposite persona. And who can forget his memorable scene after first arriving?
