* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants:
** Although this story generally has a good deal of planning by fanfic standards, the author will sometimes run with spur of the moment ideas, especially in ancillary scenes. Bridgette’s dream sequence [[note]][[AscendedFanon based on a reviewer’s comment]][[/note]], the makeover scene before the camping challenge and the dancing at the boot camp party are acknowledged examples of elaborate scenes with little or no planning.
** Scenes added for the purpose of error correction tend to have little planning, due to the time constraints which necessitate such scenes in the first place. The author has acknowledged two notable examples:
*** In the first Boney Island challenge, Chris was meant to warn the contestants during the challenge briefing (as per canon) that a {{curse}} would befall anyone who took anything from the IndianBurialGround located there. For whatever reason, the author forgot to include that bit, and didn't discover the oversight until well after posting the chapter. Rather than go back and [[OrwellianRetcon quietly revise the scene]], the author wrote a scene for the following chapter wherein one contestant who happens to know the legend warns another who has innocently picked up an artifact from the area. This approach gave the reader the same information as the intended scene, and had the benefit of giving the resident MotorMouth another “mind dump” monologue.
*** The dancing at the boot camp party was an elaborate scene added at the 11th hour, so naturally at the 59th minute the author discovered a serious problem with it, namely what the scene [[KissingUnderTheInfluence made Tyler do behind his new girlfriend's back]]. A hasty repair job ensued, resulting in the "damage control" discussion the next day and the scene on the Boat of Losers with [[VotedOffTheIsland the eliminated player]] and the interns engaged to implement the damage control plan.

Moved Development Gag from the main page
Added DiffLines:
* DevelopmentGag: [[MauveShirt Alejandro the intern]] once competed on a show called ''Camp TV'', which got cancelled partly because of its bland name. The joke is that ''Camp TV'' was the original name of the show that became ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Island'', with the name being changed because the networks didn't think the original name was catchy enough.
