Out of the Frying Pan: Episode 1

So, finally, a main chapter! I know there's a lot of film/camera/etc. chatter and terms in here, which will also peter off as the story goes on because it can just be assumed, but it's really just establishing at this point. I can bullshit both camera stuff and food stuff pretty well, but I've probably /done/ most of the camera stuff  versus not actually cooking most of the food mentioned. So this is NOT going to be  endless food description thing, although obviously since there's reader voting there will be focus on some of it, winning and potential losing dishes mostly (although the voting is probably really going to come down to which characters seem more interesting to people). All of them have personal stories that might or might not ever get explored based on if they're voted off or not. At this point, like an actual competitions show, a lot of the characters aren't known well enough (or their dishes weren't even mentioned too much) so voting will probably be kind of random.

The voting is at the end of the chapter, a link in the actual google document. Please do vote! I really think the reader participation will be cool because it actually will affect the story in some ways. Some of the plot is fixed but a lot is not, and will depend on responses. Obviously the results will be at the start of the next chapter (if/when this story is ever posted publicly anywhere it'd be attached to the end of this one).
