Know what, how about I start the year with some concepts from the Scary Girl story that were either changed or didn't end up happening
-Axel was originally going to be the character removed in the story before I eventually decided on adding the horror episode.
-Julia wasn't going to be the one to make it to the end, and was originally not even intended to have a rivalry with Scary Girl, rather it being Bowie, but the Julia and Scary Girl rivalry became something I liked so I stuck with it.
-There was another concept for the Horror episode, if it came after the merge, then Chef would have been the one to hunt the campers, much like how he did in the TDI episode.
-Original concepts for the "Fart" episode were, Furby's, Airhorns strapped to the campers feet, and a tri-armed race.
-Priya was originally meant to get sick and have that be the reason she left instead of giving up her immunity.
-Scary Girl's full name in this story is Lauren Maeve Holloway and her parents are, William Everett Holloway and Margot Elise Holloway
-I debated on making Dawn either Lauren's cousin or sister, but in the end decided to make her her sister because of those fan theories back in the day.
And for the craziest part:
-Basically right until the very end, the twist of having the readers mother and father have being in a Total Drama season was actually going to be the reader from the Gwen story and Gwen! A reveal being that they actually had their names changed. I didn't know how to make this work in a way that made sense, so I decided to go with a version that left it more ambiguous instead.
Any who, I hope you all have a Happy New Year!
