The Writers' Lounge: TDI Edition was/is a forum on FanFiction.Net for Total Drama fanfiction writers. It was the first ever widely adopted forum for the series on the site, beginning in 2008 and maintaining a sizable amount of active members until 2011. If anyone wrote Total Drama fic at the time, chances were likely that they participated in this forum at some point.
Threads ranged greatly in scope, but included: roleplays, new season discussion, updates to members' own fics, and off-topic discussion. Crit wasn't common.
The forum became largely abandoned after its early members lost interest in the series and its fandom. Members still looking for a sizable Total Drama forum largely migrated to the Total Drama Writers' Forum in 2013. Many of its early members were also in the Total Drama Island Fanon Club on DeviantArt.
Created out of boredom. Readers, or people who are both, are also welcome. Discuss favorite stories, chat amongst fellow authors, or just take the break you deserve. We also serve nonexistant coffee. YAY!forum's banner
