Well, it's about that time of the year again. Yep, I'm talking about the time of year where I foolishly try to write something, and because I don't like to write one-off pieces or stories that only involve my own characters that clearly won't interest anybody else, you all know what that means.

First off, let me say this: don't leave a single comment where you try and nag me about how I didn't finish my past 7 competitions and thus I should just give up trying. Kiss my ass and go away. You try, you fail, you try, you fail...but the only failure is when you stop trying. A cookie to anyone who can name me what movie that quote is from (it's one of my favorites). Anyway, the point is...get off my back. I've had reasons for why I angrily quit everything in the past:

Total Drama Vore Action: Too many players and not enough commitments. Too many big names to juggle and thus I felt overwhelmed and like I was letting people down.

Total Drama Vore Island: Draxton, Shade, and Nate all caused problems and pissed me off, making me lose my desire to go further. Plus, several key players I really liked refused to ever pay attention, which made me lose my desire to use them. Also, one of the characters was an OC that I used against the wishes of someone else, just to spite them and punish them for hurting me, which admittedly made me feel icky.

Total Drama Vore Race: Nate once again caused problems, and once again people kept not paying attention. Plus, there was much whining about the random teams that were chosen, which gave me headaches, and made me not care any longer to write for people who didn't like it.

Big Butt Brother: Just immediately I realized that my heart wasn't in it, and it just felt...weird. I wanted to do something new, but this didn't really feel like what I wanted. Plus, it was admittedly kinda ripping off what Nate had done previously, so I felt kinda bad.

Total Drama Vore: Artemis Island: Brandon was my cohort, which meant he was tasked with writing the challenges, and I wrote the rest. This just never sat well with me. Plus, he kept wanting me to put certain things in the story...which I could've done, but it was just aggravating. But, worst of all, it took him forever to actually do his parts. Plus, Tanner was a jerk and called MLP fans autistic, Tori was annoyed with my writing, and once AGAIN people weren't paying attention (Galen, Miles, Luro, Haruna, Cyndi). It was too much for me in the end.

Total Drama Vore Tour: Reanimated: Azure was obnoxious on Discord, Zephyr complained a lot, Red never paid attention despite being one of my favorites going into it, Qwerty had the biggest list of weirdest and confusing kinks and desires that I'd ever seen, and Cassidy was throwing a fit and lecturing me. As always, people weren't paying attention, too.

Total Drama Vore: Redemption Vs. Relapse: Nate once again caused problems, which then led to Sakato causing issues. Danny clearly wasn't happy with me using Heather instead of one of his other characters, so his mood was always soured. Tobos kept criticizing me, despite trying to say he was just being nice and he meant no harm. Brandon, Aura, and Catherine all nagged me to keep working and acted more like they were my bosses rather than friends. Sasha kept complaining how I wrote HIM, going so far as to demand I remove his name from everything involving him once I had stopped posting after a few months. Oh, and then learning about how Volsar was going through some harsh life or death situations in real life made me feel heavily guilty using him. Again, this was all too much.

So there you have it. As you can see, I know this all sounds like excuses...well, they ARE excuses...but while some people have the mental fortitude to push through such bullshit, I'm sadly not like that. And since so many people think they can just treat every single person the same and expect them to deal with it...that's why all these seasons failed. Oh, and yes, I'm not hiding any names, because just like people don't care to bring ME up and talk about me behind my back, I'll gladly just put names out there and not hide from it. Besides, right now, I would say that I forgive most everyone who I've mentioned in that list above. I'm not going back to any of those projects, but I can forgive. I'm not one to hold grudges...compared to certain OTHER people who have no issues just blocking me for life and not giving a shit.

Anyway, yeah, I figured I'd try again. By this point, I'll be surprised if I get many takers, but...eh, doesn't hurt to try! If people don't want to, they don't have to. But I REALLY want something to do at this point, so...I'm gonna try. Once again, do NOT nag me about the past 7 competitions; doing that will be a quick way to piss me off. I don't care if I do 100 of these and fail each one! It won't stop me from still attempting them, dammit! Again, if YOU'RE 'burnt out' and don't want to participate anymore, that's fine. That's your right and I'm not gonna beg you. I'm just testing the waters.

As for what it's gonna BE this time...well, here's the thing: I don't think I want to parody 'Total Drama' anymore. At least not the title. Not only did the 'Total Drama Vore' titles confuse many people who thought it was literally just the actual Canadian show, just with vore, but I've had MANY complaints over the years about a tiny issue: I typically never actually do vore in the stories, despite the name. This is admittedly true. So...maybe I should parody The Apprentice, or The Challenge, or the Olympics in general...or something along those lines. And I want to focus on 'kinks' in general, not just 'vore', so that way more people would be open to it.

I'll type up some sort of application form a little while after I post this, so...be on the lookout for that! Or don't. It's up to you.
