We're almost there!<br /><br />Author's Note (Dang, first one of these and the series hasn't even properly started): Well, it's time to come clean. Originally, I had a ton of auditions planned out (Over 10!) but as I began trying to write proper audition introductions to them (like the last two days worth of auditions), I started to realize that there were a lot of characters that I liked because they had one good moment I could plan in for them. But then, after I wrote Annette's audition, I started to realize that I could use those moments from these weak characters I wasn't that big a fan of, and attach them as a story beat to characters I genuinely did like and felt had more going for them.<br />For instance, these two characters were originally around four to five separate characters (one of those characters was really nebulous, hence my apprehension to consider them a real character). Yes, that's how bad it was. So, I'm cutting the fat. I've whittled down my list to a proper six contestants once more, and I don't feel comfortable in wasting time creating a poll when I know which six I really want to have in. You'll still be getting two more of these audition-tape style introductions, but you won't have to use them as a basis for choosing a character.<br /><br />For those of you still interested in commenting, please note that the perspective of the characters on these audition tapes is still as though they do not know that they have been selected to be a contestant. I know this may makes things a little confusing, but I thought it better to bite the bullet and be honest now than confuse people when no poll appears on Friday to vote for contestants. I will be updating One Year Later (Part 2) after publishing to reflect these changes to the story.<br /><br />Barring that&nbsp;If you have any comments/questions for this "potential" contestant, feel free to ask them on the message board (comments section) down below, where they will respond.
