Ordinary Knives

Support

 * 2) -- Spotted at the hottest shows, interview on Charlie Rose,  they all want a piece of you!  14:17, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm sure my critics will say it's a grotesque display!   Well, they can bite me, baby, I perform this way!  14:20, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Total Drama Craziness
Let's see if this'll win like it's successor! ...I highly doubt it.

Support

 * 1) this story will win!  Being spotted by the paparazzi  It's Lindsay, not from TD!  20:05, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) IT MUST. Trent and Gwen forever!   Don't call me Needy!   Pokémon Sun and Moon!  14:04, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) -- Spotted at the hottest shows, interview on Charlie Rose,  they all want a piece of you!  14:18, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) The fact that it hasn't been featured yet is kinda... weird. Jkl9817  has a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long signature. 00:24, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) ~ Jason   Derulo  Yeah... 01:22, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Shane, you're an awesome writer. :P --HINT:A AWESOME USER, that loves Chatango and Chatting but wonders, what's with Cyan? 01:36, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) A great story by a great writer. :) Sprinklemist hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 02:49, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Good story! Gwen is SO overrated!! 06:05, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Support

 * YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES, YES. Owenandheatherfan 20:55, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) And Yes!  Being spotted by the paparazzi  It's Lindsay, not from TD!  21:08, August 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Yep! -Lalainee 16:22, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) This was one of my favorites, as it had Francesca, Hedda, Brad, my namesake who I am proud of, Nolan, my second favorite winner Celia, and Wade. ...Okay, I liked everyone. XD Goldenshane 18:27, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Totally support. Also, it has Francesca and Wade. Bruno is my name!   Talk!   My editcount!    00:17, August 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) -- Spotted at the hottest shows, interview on Charlie Rose,  they all want a piece of you!  14:18, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Honestly, I think this is one of Sprink's better stories. Sure, some epic characters were early outs, but it was a nice break from the drama-filled TDT & TDR, and yeah. :B -Toad, having sig problems xD
 * 7) Well, I loved it. I think Celia had loads of character development (in response to MrD's vote), even if she wasn't totally in the spotlight 24/7. A great story overall. --TDIFan13 (My Talk andMy Contributions! ) 00:55, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) Um... you guys are opposing just because you don't want another Sprink story to win but you gotta know most stories on here don't have as much development as Sprink's stories. Sprink works his best to make these stories great and I respect him for it. Sure, Celia didn't have a ton of development but I liked the way it played out in the end. --HINT:A AWESOME USER, that loves Chatango and Chatting but wonders, what's with Cyan? 01:38, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) You have MUCH better stories on here. Trent and Gwen forever!   Don't call me Needy!   Pokémon Sun and Moon!  14:07, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Honestly? I don't really like TDW, I'm not gonna lie. :s It has a girl with little to no characer development win, I found it boring honestly, and the only characters I liked were early outs. :s So... Yeah. ~ Jason   Derulo  Yeah... 00:10, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not a vote - They're already featured. :P Where'd all the opposes go? o_O Wait, I'm thinking of Beau. XD - Sprinklemist Not Logged In
 * Oh, right. Trent and Gwen forever!   Don't call me Needy!   Pokémon Sun and Moon!  20:54, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

(NAV) Wow, lots o' hate... :B -Toad

(NAV) I'm used to it. I get a lotta hate in these Featured things. XD I try not to take it too personal, though... I get lots of love, too. I do want all my main stories to get featured at some point (consider it a goal, one Shane might deservedly get before me :P). Sprinklemist hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 02:53, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

(NAV) Thanks, Sprink, but the thing is, people need to vote on whether they like it or not, not simply because they want another story to win or not. I'm very honored that so many want Craziness to win, but I'm not honored in how it is winning. If I win just because of the fact that people opposed it for that reason, it won't be worth it. Sprink, you don't deserve so much hate. And no, I don't deserve that goal before you. Goldenshane 04:18, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

(NAV) I'm sorry, I'm confused... what does the fact that Sprink's other stories have won have to do with the quality of Total Drama Wilderness? Anyone using that as an excuse to oppose instead of an actual valid reason is petty and jealous. Get over it. -Lalainee 05:11, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

(NAV) Uh, I'm just saying: The only person who opposed using that excuse was Jkl. xD I guess you can consider Zinc did too cause he said that "You have MUCH better stories on here," but I really did oppose cause I honest to God hated it. =P (No offense Sprink. xD) ~ Jason   Derulo  Yeah... 11:15, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

(NAV) Well, thanks, MrDaimon? But... It is pretty rude, to be honest. Telling me you hate something I put a lot of effort in is kind of hurtful (but I'm not really offended). So anyway, I'll admit that jkl's reason is pretty poor. Considering that Shane did get a featured story two months ago, and All-Stars was, like, five months ago? I don't mind that, but the reason should make sense. >_< <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 14:21, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

(NAV) Well, I didn't really hate it, I just use that word by force of habit ("don't like" sounds weird to me). I just don't like it very much, although the theme was probably the best of your stories. I'd probably like it a lot more if the four characters I mentioned as early outs (Hedda, Tony, Tamira, and Anders) lasted further, though. xD ~ Jason   Derulo  Yeah... 14:26, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

(NAV) Yeah, you're right... That was a poor excuse. I just noticed it, so I'm removing it. It wouldn't make much difference anyway... Jkl9817  has a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long signature. 15:13, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

(NAV) Thanks, jkl. I appreciate that. :) <font color="Green">Sprinklemist <font color="Orange">hasn't changed his signature in a long time. 15:20, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

(NAV) My understanding was that this sort of discussion isn't permitted on the ballot page, or at least is discouraged. As for the relative merits of Craziness and Wilderness, I haven't read either and so can't really comment. I do understand that Sprink could be a target for resentment because he has so many stories and wins so many accolades that some people might resent his "hogging the glory" or, more to the point, resent the advantage that the size of his fan base gives him. (I don't endorse that mindset, mind you, I just understand it.) It's a pity, though, that this squabble seems likely to cheapen a Craziness win or tarnish a Wilderness win.

 * 1) Well, this is awkward. I honestly wasn't that big a fan of this story. I didn't really think it was Sprink's best work, and I stopped reading after that chapter when Kristy was voted out... Don't be a rainbow,  be a flag.  -Lady Gaga.  20:52, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Total Pojab Island
It's about time for my debut fic to get a turn in the limelight. Trent and Gwen forever!  Don't call me Needy!   Pokémon Sun and Moon!  14:07, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Support

 * 1) THIS NEEDS TO BE FEATURED. I'm sure my critics will say it's a grotesque display!   Well, they can bite me, baby, I perform this way!  02:49, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) This is story is RIDICULOUSLY underrated. Jkl9817  has a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long signature. 00:29, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Agreed wit the above. =)  Being spotted by the paparazzi  It's Lindsay, not from TD!  16:08, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Total Drama Culture
The first collab by Toad and I. I'm sure he would nominate this too. Home to characters like Diana, Iggy and Minttu. Trent and Gwen forever!  Don't call me Needy!   Pokémon Sun and Moon!  14:07, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Oppose

 * 1) It's a very good story indeed, but I think you should finish it before it becomes FS. Jkl9817  has a very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very long signature. 15:15, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
