**THIS HAS BEEN A PSA SPONSORED BY CHRIS MCLEAN, FOR CANADIAN TELEVISION BROADCASTING**

After six, drama-filled seasons you would think that we were done here.

But you have never been more wrong.

We've gone camping.

We've made movies.

We've even gone all over the world only to go back to said campsite and blow it up.

But that isn't enough for Chris McLean.

Oh no, after torturing a total of 52 contestants, his thirst for drama has only been moderately quenched. And knowing him, that definitely won't do. He is a man of pomp and circumstance and he craves more.

And we bet you're sitting at home watching this, wondering why you would possibly sign up for what could very well be a death wish? This man is a sadist, you tell us!

However, he is a sadist that happens to know how to make wicked TV. And that is a sacrifice we are willing to make.

We also bet that you're bored, too. You think you've seen it all, right? Countless stereotypes being prettied up and overdramatized in order for them to be spoon fed to you as a viewer. You're at home thinking "ENOUGH! Has reality TV really hit rock bottom?"

We're ready to prove you wrong, but this has gotta be give and take, you know? We also need your help.

That's right. Your help.

The Total Drama Franchise is back, and we need new contestants. Us, as producers, have tirelessly sifted throw hours of footage and millions of ratings and reviews in order to piece together a new season that will amp up the reality TV game. We can't reveal too much yet, but what we can promise you is that there will be a mix of old and new challenges that will keep things interesting.

Fourteen teenagers will have a shot at not one million… not two million… but 10 million dollars. (Yeah. That's a lot of freaking money.)

All you need to do as a viewer is send in your audition tape. Try not to be boring. And hopefully, we will see you on our brand new island for the best season of Total Drama yet!

**END TRANSMISSION**

Yeah. I'm back…ish. Total Drama reruns have been playing on TV, and since I'm recovering from surgery for 3 weeks, I really have nothing better to do than watch cartoons and bask in nostalgia. And after watching all of Pahkitew Island in one day, I'd have to say I still freaking love this show.

So I thought, why not attempt another fan-made, submission-based story? They're fun to write.

However, this won't be possible without you guys! I will be accepting applications through Review AND Private Message—whichever tickles your fancy. This will also be a pretty interactive story, so please feel free to message me with ideas for your character and plot arcs, etc. throughout the season. I LOVE hearing feedback and working with my audience.

This will also be similar to television in that if I don't get enough continued viewership, (aka—reviews that confirm you are actually reading the fanfic your character is in) the series will be cancelled. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to put effort into things that aren't doing well viewer-wise. I start University in the fall.

Anyway, enough blabbing on my end. To confirm that you have read and agreed to this, please include the keyword purple inyour application; there will be a section for you to do so.

I'm going to keep the applications open for a couple days—maybe more depending on how many apps I get :P

Happy writing!

Full Name: Jeremy Stevens

Nickname: Jer or Jerry

Unwanted Nicknames: Jer-bear

Age (16-18): 17

Stereotype (something basic that can be expanded upon): The Closet-Fanboy

Personality (please be as descriptive as possible): Jeremy is a pretty average guy… that is until you get him talking about television. Or movies. Or books. He is a little extreme with his passions, but a bad experience with being ridiculed for his extensive TV and popculture knowledge has forced him to hide away the true intensity of his passions. He doesn't just watch shows… he marathons them in a day, obsesses about actors and reads biographies about them. He is an avid convention goer. The moment you get something wrong about a character, he will crush you with the right answer. He also has a bad habit of being incredibly stubborn when people dislike characters that he likes, even going as far as shunning them for a day or two. Other than that, he's pretty open and agreeable.

Any specific traits? : Cranky in the morning (due to his habit of staying up all night, binge-watching TV series).

Hair (colour and style): A dark brown mop of brown hair.

Eye colour: Blue

Height: 5'11"

Build: Jeremy is pure lank- skinny arms and legs, he has a slightly crooked nose from the time he broke it in a hockey game and is pretty weak with very slight muscle tone.

Skin colour: Pale, pale and more pale.

Clothing (basic outfit, swimsuit, and then pajamas):

Basic— Black skinny jeans, blue converse and a grey Walking Dead t-shirt.

Swimsuit— Green Minecraft shorts

PJs—Green plaid boxers and a blue T-Shirt that says 'Bazinga'

Likes: Watching TV, surfing the internet, going to conventions, hanging out with friends.

Dislikes: Sports, going outside, having his favourite shows or TV characters criticized, having his neck touched.

Protagonist/Antagonist/Neutral? : Neutral.

Any talents? (ie. Good at sports, juggling, or bird calls? They can also be untalented, if you so desire): Jeremy is pretty untalented physically, but he has a very good memory and is good with trivia.

Who would they be friends with? : People who are relaxed and enjoy a good show or movie—people who could listen to him ramble about characters or plots without fear of judgment.

Who would they be enemies with? : People critical of his favourite shows or characters, or people who hate his favourite show.

Relationship— yes or no? : Yes

If so, whom would they be attracted to? (later on in the story if you have a specific character pairing, feel free to message me): A girl or guy, for that matter, who could keep up to his superior television knowledge and actually hold a good conversation with him about the shows he likes or watches.

Easily manipulated— yes or no? : Yes and no. He is a very trusting person, but also watches a lot of TV and can easily recognize certain tricks.

Any goals they have for their time on Total Drama? (ie. Make a friend, push someone in the lake, make out with a hot chic) : Figure out how to get WiFi in his cabin— also figure out how to smuggle in a cellphone.

Passive or aggressive? : Depends on the situation. He can be a bit of a follower (out of his fear of being ridiculed), but if you dare bad-talk one of his characters he will show no mercy in telling you off.

Relationship with their family— good or bad, and why? : He has a pretty good relationship with his mom, dad, and sister. His parents just wish he would go the fuck outside. (hence why he is auditioning)

Code: Purple.

Audition Tape:

**CLICK**

A slim teen sits awkwardly at his desk, eying the camera uncomfortably as he twiddles his thumbs. It is obvious that this is not what he would prefer to be doing.

"Uh, hey Total Drama. The name's Jeremy, and I totally wanna be on your show!" He said. It sounded scripted.

"Honey, that doesn't sound very convincing," said a soft voice from off screen.

"That's because it isn't, mom." Jeremy said with an eyeroll. "I am trying to channel my inner Jensen Ackles but it isn't working! Maybe I need to rewatch all of Supernatural again…" That idea brought a smile to his lips and a sigh to his mother's lips. "But am I willing to dedicate 136 and a half hours of my life to that endeavor? …It is a sacrifice I am willing to make."

"The whole point of this is to be on TV, honey. Not watch it."

"…Right." Jeremy sighed before giving it another lame attempt. "Pick me, producers, if you want to add this cool guy to your roster!" He snorted at the corniness of it all, flexing his non-existent muscles.

Your tape doesn't have to be nearly as long, and can be in script style if it's easier for you :) I just need a little taste of how to properly portray your character. :3
