My mother taught us to walk backwards. That is how the dead walk, she would say. Where did she get this idea? Perhaps from a bad translation. The dead after all, do not walk backwards. Short Talk On Walking Backwards, Anne Carson

First Love, Late Spring
Apply Fiction, 2024

Who doesn't love a little bit of drama? I know I do. Especially when it comes to celebrities. You never know who's screwing who behind each others back, who's friendship is breaking up over some ugly guy who looks like he's from the dinosaur age. 

Pretty juicy stuff.

Which is why I'm bringing to you: First Love, Late Spring. Soon to be on your television screens, watch as your celebrity crushes participate in a series of activities which will determine their fates on this very island I'm standing on.

And, the best part is, you get to have a say in who goes home and who stays.

So what the actual fuck are you waiting for? Stream First Love, Late Spring, this summer!

Seriously, I don't get paid enough as it is- oh, this is still live...

Shit.

RULES ⚘

001. Respect everyone! Wattpad beef is the furthest thing from my mind right now, and if you have any negative energy whatsoever you will be blacklisted from applying to any of my future works. Treat people the way you want to be treated, simple as that.

002. Keep forms neat and tidy! If you apply in the comments, comment your introduction first THEN the rest of the form. If you're using google docs, please make it where I can actually read the text. Don't put it in some fancy font. I love aesthetic forms as much as the next person, but I am literally blind. In general, neater forms, please.

003. Don't come after me if your character isn't chosen, there's always the side cast. The first password is your favorite Mitski song, and if you don't listen to Mitski, your favorite song in general.

005. Diversity. Not everyone is gonna be a soft girl who has no problems and has every guy under the sun trying to get in her pants. That's unrealistic. Please try to be realistic with the characters you make. Second password, what's your favorite reality show, if you don't watch any, then just your favorite show.

007. All of my characters are open for love interests (as seen if you read the blurb about them...). But keep in mind I have specific ideas for them and their love stories.

008. I understand that your characters are your precious babies. But, if you choose to apply then just know there is a chance they will be eliminated from the show. No one is safe, not even my characters. Last password is to tag 3+ people and post on your message board!
