Import My Heart! - A celebrity dating show starring YOU!

[shadowglitter]

Hey, MoM! Gero here. As you might remember, back in November, Odin (as well as eight other competitors) starred in a reality TV show that aired across all of America called Big Brother 3000 - the long and short of it, for those who didn't follow the drama or who might not have been here for it, was that a handful of imports were launched into space, locked together in a shuttle for three weeks, and drank deep from the well of trashy reality television tropes. People got drunk, talked about dongs, and were attacked by an unmanned drone that maybe belonged to Russia but also maybe belonged to aliens or something. We don't know yet? Standard reality TV fare, in any case.

A few days ago, the mods hit me up to say that Odin was the winner of the show! He'll be bragging about that and drinking in all the new-found fame that comes with the title for a while. True fans of the show might have seen what happened at the end of the first week - Odin confessed he was in love with another contestant, only to be pretty brutally turned down - and, well. The prize he's been given for winning BB3K is a pre-approved plot called Import My Heart!, a spin-off reality program based on The Bachelor, following Odin on his journey to find that one special someone amongst any number of imports. I was told I could either handwave it or run it as an event, and, uh, SPOILERS, I'M RUNNING IT AS AN EVENT.

So, what does this mean for you?

HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO FIND TRUE LOVE WITH A WIZARD THAT CAN DO BACKFLIPS? NOW'S YOUR CHANCE.

During most of the month of February, a chosen number of Imports will be whisked away to a private island to live together in their own secluded mansion. Throughout the event, they'll be having parties, going on dates with Odin, getting involved in a number of very stupid challenges (and given that Odin will be setting them, many of them will involve swords, fire, volcanoes or death,) and just generally having a lot of very fun and silly things to do.

It'll be an opportunity to make friends, become a household name amongst imports and natives alike, and yes, fall in love. Hopefully with Odin. Maybe with each other? He would not be surprised.

At the end of the day, it's trashy reality TV. Import My Heart! is going to feature all the typical tropes you might expect. Could a shocking secret about your character be revealed on national television? Could a tragic betrayal mark the end of your character's relationship with another's FOREVER? LOVE TRIANGLES? MURDER? Who knows. Point is, if you just want to spend a month doing messy, messy slice of life garbage, this event is for you.

Oh, and don't forget the prizes - every competition show has to have prizes. You might even get something just for auditioning. And hey... even if you don't win Odin's heart, maybe there'll be a second season, and you'll get to build a harem of your own. Who can say?

But wait! How do I get involved?

Potential contestants only have to do one thing to audition - record a short video that introduces themselves while answering a few questions Odin's posed for them.

I don't have a strict limit on contestants, right now, because I want to gauge how much interest in this event there might be, but I'm not looking for a huge number of people! We'll see how it goes. The only requirement to apply is that your character must be eighteen years of age or older, but that's all that matters.

You don't even have to apply to find love, honestly. Want to have a national platform to yell about how terrible the government is until you're escorted away? Want to use your screentime to propel your career as a budding singer/model/actor??? Want to get on the show just to punch Odin in the gut and laugh????? Now is your time to shine.

Just remember: Odin totally wants to fall in love. Or, well, at the very least, he probably doesn't want to get his heart to get broken on national TV. Again. For a second time. Probably.

Odin is the worst and I don't want to be a contestant but I still want to be on the show!

THIS IS ALSO FINE? There will be at least one event in which ImPorts from home can get involved (assuming I can, uh, think of something fun), so if you're interested in that, let me know. And, uh, if you just want to work as a cameraman or something so you can be close to the drama, Odin's not gonna say no. It's his show? The network can eat it.



I'll post a form in the comments for characters who might be interested in auditioning! Otherwise, if you have any questions or suggestions, hit me up here, send me a PM or find me at southpaws. Thanks!
