I feel like TDR is different than TD:BI, but I hope people like it without comparing it to TD:BI, as I'm going into left field with it. I felt like TD:BI had a slow start and relationships were built up more as it progressed, too. I have a lot planned with the story, so I hope everyone keeps loyal to it. I kind of felt like eliminating Ruth was very misleading to some, as she was designed to appear to be the quintessential merge character, but always was going to be an early out. But I'm glad I was able to think of a personality for her that wasn't an outspoken boy crazy girl, like she was originally going to be, but still got the effect I wanted through.

I wanted to nominate more things in the Story Award nominations, but I didn't want to hog every category. I'm pretty glad I didn't dominate, cause I would have felt bad. Total Drama Mania was my favorite of the stories nominated for best competition (no offense to the others), but I was really wanting Return to Total Drama Island to be nominated, that's why I hesitated to vote. There were a lot of things I would have voted for if they had been nominated.
