History Fanfic / TotalDramaComebackSeries

* BigBadEnsemble: Chris Maclean is [[TookALevelInJerkass muuuuuuuuuuuch more antagonistic during Battlegrounds]]; Colin, Zachary, Valerie and Sandra are the new villanous contestants, [[spoiler:since all the veteran villains had pulled a HeelFaceTurn by the end of Comeback]], Alejandro (even if he isn't a contestant), a mysterious villain whose identity is unknown to the reader, and the producer being the BiggerBad.

* {{Kuudere}}: Noah (as in most Total Drama fanfiction).

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: In canon, although Noah and Justin didn't like each other, there weren't hostile and kept their distance. Here, they're arch-rivals.

* JustForFun/TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary: InUniverse. Well, it ruined Harold's.
-->'''Harold''': Oh, I know all about these kinds of things. See, Leshawna is my {{Tsundere}}, how could she resist in the end how my awesome skills are taken UpToEleven? (''Superimposed on the screen as he talks is "WTH IS HE SAYING?"'')

** Even [[TheScrappy Sadie]], [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Clive]] and Rodney.

The plot is [[FandomSpecificPlot fairly common]]. The first story, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4519916/1/Total_Drama_Comeback Total Drama Comeback]]'' (TDC), is set about six months after the end of ''Total Drama Island,'' with the contestants back for a new season where two of them will win $10,000. The rules are different, with teams being formed and dissolved for individual challenges, making alliances and rivalries more complex. While the fic keeps all of the characters at least partially in focus, Ezekiel is clearly the protagonist, bitter about the events of the previous season and determined to do better [[MyGreatestSecondChance this time around]]. The numerous subplots include Courtney seeking revenge on Harold for what he did to her in the first season, Katie having a crush, Tyler dealing with a past trauma and Izzy searching for the mysterious "Jellybean Smuggler", among others.

* GenreSavvy: Xander seems to realize that, once his "mysterious injuries" subplot gets resolved, he'll be voted off.
** In the alien challenge, Heather immediately flees when Rodney dies, realizing that if InfantImmortality has broken down, she and Alfred don't stand a chance.
** Also, Noah during the Superhero challenge, when he became the EvilOverlord:
-->''(after Noah's informed that one of his minions succeeded in his mission)''
-->'''Noah''': Give Minion #27 a bonus, Alicia.
-->'''Alicia''': But as an evil overlord, shouldn't you be cruel and --
-->'''Noah''':It's one of my rules, don't lose necessary minions. [[BenevolentBoss Treat them well,]] they won't help the hero, they won't ditch you, and there's no harm in paying them extra if you're going to rule the world.

* TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary: Well, it ruined Harold's.

-->'''Chris:''' "Ahhhh, that's how to sell your audience, folks. Show them a preview of what is in store next season, and they'll eat it up. Works well for {{Pokemon}}, I hear."

** Most of the original characters are expies. [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic Alfred]], [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Sakaki]], [[SuperMario Daisy]], [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Sandra]]...

* {{Arson Murder and Jaywalking}}: "The landslide was a muddy crash of charging fervor, a slimy plow of terrible proportion, a tremendous stampede of slushy earth, and it was rather yucky too."

** This line , also from Mandy:

** Valerie (one of the villains) likes [[spoiler: Literature/{{Twilight}}]]
*** Also, Colin and Zachary (also villains) were the only ones who enjoyed ''DisasterMovie''.

* NeverAcceptedInHisHometown: The reason Cody isn't aware of his popularity after TDI is he avoided any mentions of the show online. Why? Because everyone at ''his'' school harassed and teased him about ''being mauled by a bear''. [[TeensAreMonsters Eeesh]].

* SeriousBusiness: Izzy applies this trope to [=MMORPGs=] (and, by extension, everything)

* {{Tsundere}}: Heather and Eva

* UnexpectedCharacter: let's face it, [[spoiler: Feral Zeke]] was the ''last'' character you would expect to appear on a fanfic written by The Kobold Necromancer. Well, he's the focus of the fifteenth challenge.

** And now there is one for us too! Go TVTropes!

* {{Badass}}: Mandy and Yoshi. Full stop.

* FollowTheLeader: Although wasn't the first fic of the type, it helped to spawn many other fics.

* AuthorAppeal: The Bridgette/Gwen undertones.

* AuthorAvatar: Ezekiel, possibly Harold, Joel and Alfred.
** Wouldn't it be AuthorFilibuster? Normally authors get the philosopher to be his/her AuthorAvatar, and in this fic we have Sebastian.
* AuthorTract: Izzy's battle cry in chapter 30, aka "DEVIANT ART SUCKS" after Kobold was unfairly banned from the site. Although really, it was inevitable.

* BigBad
** BigBadDuumvirate: Courtney and Heather during the first half of TDC.
** BigBadEnsemble: Chris Maclean is [[TookALevelInJerkass muuuuuuuuuuuch more antagonistic during Battlegrounds]]; Colin, Zachary, Valerie and Sandra are the new villanous contestants, [[spoiler:since all the veteran villains had pulled a HeelFaceTurn by the end of Comeback]], Alejandro (even if he isn't a contestant), a mysterious villain whose identity is unknown to the reader, and the producer being the BiggerBad.

** Also, both stories are loaded with lots of nerdy stuff. At one point, Chris even breaks the fourth wall to tell the readers that non-nerds will have a hard time reading the chapter.

** Heather is a notable aversion: despite TKN has mentioned that the screentime she has in the show is excesive, on TDC she gots lots of CharacterFocus, CharacterDevelopment, ranked quite high despite this time everybody knew about her true nature from the very beginning (granted, eliminating her this time around was harder due to having multiple teams instead of just two, plus the follow-up mini challenges where she gained immunity many times), and even became [[spoiler: Ezekiel's love interest]].

* {{Emo}}[=/=]EmoTeen: Clive in TDB.

* [[CanonImmigrant Fanon Immigrant]]: Jasmine was originally shown in Leshawna's video from home. Alejandro and Sierra also host the Aftermaths.

* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Averted when [[spoiler:Heather]] thinks she can try this kind of tactic on [[spoiler:Ezekiel]]. It doesn’t work.

* InfantImmortality: It seems that no matter how bloodily the other contestants die during the virtual reality challenges, Rodney will somehow survive.
** Averted and Lampshaded in the last part of the alien invasion challenge.

* JerkJock: Averted and discussed/defied with Tyler.

* LastMinuteHookup: [[spoiler: Noah and Katie, Justin and Beth, and Joel and Hannah]] all hook up right before the girl gets voted off. The first one got almost ''no'' setup within a chapter. Averted, however, with [[spoiler: Ezekiel and Heather]] who had a proper setup, and [[spoiler: Sakaki and Sebastian]] who just sort of fell together.

** Averted with [[spoiler: Valerie/Zachary]]

** Averted with Duncan and Owen, who were eliminated early in TDC, and both vowed to do better in TDBG. Owen only lasted a few more challenges, but Duncan was eliminated ''even earlier'' than in TDC.

* [[NonIndicativeName Non Indicative Title]]: The producer, according to Chris is kind, wonderful, fair-minded, and non-discriminatory, amongst other things. Based on the decisions she makes, though, [[BiggerBad this is anything but true.]]

--> '''Carol''': "Heck, I wrote one on Duncan and Courtney, and I got about a hundred reviews! And I didn't even have a plot!"

* [[spoiler:{{Tsundere}}: Heather and Eva]]

** How to kill a centipede, according to Xander:

* AscendedExtra: Ezekiel. Kobold had an almost blank slate to work with. Other characters who are neglected by canon but have decent screentime, focus and development on this story are (but not limited to) Tyler, Bridgette, Eva, Katie, Sadie and Noah, among others.

* TheAtoner: A major part of Ezekiel's motivation is making up for what he said last time [[spoiler: and how it damaged his parents' reputations to the point that they almost lost their teaching jobs]].

* AuthorAppeal: The Bridgette/Gwen undertones.

* AuthorAvatar: Ezekiel, possibly Harold, Joel and Alfred.
** Wouldn't it be AuthorFilibuster? Normally authors get the philosopher to be his/her AuthorAvatar, and in this fic we have Sebastian.
* AuthorTract: Izzy's battle cry in chapter 30, aka "DEVIANT ART SUCKS" after Kobold was unfairly banned from the site. Although really, it was inevitable.
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Is a [[IncrediblyLamePun monstrous]] challenge!

* BambooTechnology: Joel’s stuff.
* BelligerentSexualTension: [[spoiler: Ezekiel and Heather]] at the start of the fic
* BerserkButton: In TDB, how [[spoiler:Heather]] acts whenever people threaten to vote Ezekiel off.
* BettyAndVeronica: In TDC, Cody is the Betty to Beth while Justin is the Veronica.
** In TDB, Anita and Eva. They don't fit the exact model as well, though.
** And Sierra (or possibly Sadie) might be the ThirdOptionLoveInterest.

* BiggusDickus: Noah (according to Katie)

* BiTheWay: Alfred seems oddly willing to kiss other guys. Izzy also loves to kiss and make out with other girls.
* ButtMonkey: Colin. He talks and acts tough, but everyone else gets their chance to beat some sense or reality into him in some form or another at least once an episode (but he usually deserves it).
** Chris, as in most Total Drama fanfics, gets this treatment too.
* CanadaEh: Duncan is supposedly Canada’s third worst criminal, [[RuleOfFunny based on the logic]] that Canada doesn’t ''have'' that many criminals.

* CasanovaWannabe: Howard. Also Colin, in a far more nasty and perverted way.

* ChasteHero: Yoshi believed that his fellow contestants should stop being SickeninglySweethearts and get their heads into the game, [[spoiler:Daisy put a stop to that]].
* TheChewToy: Surprisingly, ''Ezekiel'' suffers this to some degree. {{Deconstructed}} in that some of his injuries are taken ''very'' seriously.

* ChekhovsGun: [[spoiler:The letter written by the eliminated contestants.]]
* ChivalrousPervert: Howard, who will hit on any girl ''unless'' she’s already taken. And of course Cody fills this trope, as per canon, not wanting to make out with Eva until he's decided which girl he'll officially date.
* ClingyJealousGirl: [[spoiler:Heather sees Izzy and Bridgette as a threat to her relationship with Ezekiel (can't blame her though, the author ships them). In later episodes, she seems to get over it.]]
** Courtney after Gwen and Duncan start to become friends.
** Eva towards Cody.
* ClosetGeek: Arthur and to a lesser extent, Heather.
* CloudCuckooLander: Aside from the usual TDI characters, Jasmine and Alfred also gets this.
* ClusterFBomb: Gwen swears quite heavily in Chapter 21 of ''Comeback.''

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment:

* TheCuckoolanderWasRight: [[spoiler: Izzy was right about the jellybean smuggler.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: Not always, but scenes like [[spoiler:Ezekiel’s concussion]] and [[spoiler:the Jelly Bean smuggler]] certainly qualify.
* DayInTheLimelight: Everyone gets this a bit, but in TDC Ezekiel’s part was ''huge.''
* DefrostingIceQueen: [[spoiler:Heather thanks to Ezekiel]]

* DeusAngstMachina: Parodied with Clive.
* DoorStopper: Do not try to read the entire thing in one day. This is, of course, a testament to the quality of the writing; the author doesn't skimp when it comes to the challenges.
* DramaBomb: Episode 9 of Comeback (Chapters 27-29) serves as a major one: [[spoiler: thanks to sabotage, Harold suffers an allergy attack that leaves him temporarily paralyzed (after nearly killing him), and Courtney and Duncan's alliance with Heather is exposed during the ensuing investigation]].
* DramaticEllipsis: Done right, imitating the dramatic pauses in real elimination ceremonies.
* DreamSequence: One chapter of TDC shows all the remaining contestants (plus Chef) dreaming, and other characters’ dreams are scattered throughout. Variants include:
** BadDreams: Ezekiel, Cody, Tyler and others.
** DreamingOfThingsToCome / VisionsOfAnotherSelf: Sort of; Heather and Ezekiel share dreams that hint about [[spoiler:their eventual romance and character development.]]
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Izzy is definitely the worst example. Katie's a close second, but it's usually because she doesn't get the concept of looking ahead of her.

* EarlyBirdCameo: Joel appears several times in TDC.

* EasilyForgiven: Played with during ''Comeback'' after the DramaBomb episode: some of the contestants are able to forgive [[spoiler:Courtney's actions]] more easily than others, which makes those who don't forgive them so quickly even angrier. Katie, for example, holds a grudge even into TDB.
* {{Emo}}[=/=]EmoTeen: Clive in TDB.
* EvenTheGuysWantHim: As per canon, Owen has a crush on Justin, but in the stories, so does Ezekiel, although it's more PlayedForLaughs.
* EveryoneMeetsEveryone: In the first chapters of both fics, although TDC's is more everyone is re-introduced to everyone else.
* EverythingIsRacist: according to Zachary.
* {{Expy}}: Joel might seem [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 kind of familiar]]…
** Most of the original characters are expies. [[Music/WeirdAlYankovic Alfred]], [[Manga/AzumangaDaioh Sakaki]], [[SuperMario Daisy]], [[Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory Sandra]]...
* FandomSpecificPlot: The "new/alternative season" plot is a staple of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fanfiction.
* FanService: [[LampshadeHanging There are challenges that (in-universe) are ''built'' on this.]]
* [[CanonImmigrant Fanon Immigrant]]: Jasmine was originally shown in Leshawna's video from home. Alejandro and Sierra also host the Aftermaths.

* {{Flanderization}}: Arguably Owen. Also, many of the new contestants conform strictly to their stereotypes.
** At least at first; they tend to become more rounded if given their own subplot to develop in. Hannah, for example, pretty much didn't have a line in the early chapters that didn't relate to her religion, but this ended when she started her romantic subplot with [[spoiler:Joel]].
* FlatWhat: [[spoiler: Duncan and Heather]] both deliver one in Comeback when [[spoiler: Katie is voted off]].
* ForTheEvulz: Colin seems to enjoy upsetting people for no particular reason other than he finds it fun.

* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler: Courtney, see AbusiveParents]]. Also, the fact that her school life became miserable after she got the boot (being insulted with names like Crazy In Training) and being beaten for the Student Council President by a guy who's rebuttal was essentially a giant poster of her being dragged down the dock of shame screaming.
* FriendshipMoment
* FollowTheLeader: Although wasn't the first fic of the type, it helped to spawn many other fics.
* FullFrontalAssault: Izzy.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Sierra in the first Aftermath. A rather good example of why this should not be done in print.

* GenkiGirl: Naturally Izzy, but Carol and sometimes Jasmine or Mandy can also fit.
* GenreSavvy: Xander seems to realize that, once his "mysterious injuries" subplot gets resolved, he'll be voted off.

* GoodScarsEvilScars: Xander’s facial scar.
* GratuitousJapanese: Courtesy by Yoshi, and other, occasionally.
* GratuitousSpanish: Alejandro will some use some spanish words.

* HeroicSacrifice: TDC, Episode 4: [[spoiler: when he realizes DJ is hanging onto him despite his fear of heights, Noah unlocks his handcuffs and willingly drops from his grasp so that DJ won't be dragged down with him]].

* HowWeGotHere: Episode 9 of Comeback opens InMediasRes, then retells the morning's events and challenge via {{Flashback}}s. {{Lampshaded}} by one of the interviews:

* {{Hypocrite}}: Courtney criticizes on Gwen, Leshawna, and Tyler continuing to hold a grudge against her from her actions in Comback despite her own pathetic grudge she held against Harold as well as anyone else who considered him as a friend (IE Leshawna for being his girlfriend, Geoff for simply inviting him to a party, and Gwen for telling her off), so she was in no position to lecture them about it since their grudges against her was due to her own grudge against Harold.
* ICallItVera: Joel's VR machine is called Vera.
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey: Averted when [[spoiler:Heather]] thinks she can try this kind of tactic on [[spoiler:Ezekiel]]. It doesn’t work.

* InfantImmortality: It seems that no matter how bloodily the other contestants die during the virtual reality challenges, Rodney will somehow survive.
** Averted and Lampshaded in the last part of the alien invasion challenge.
* InnocentFanserviceGirl: Izzy gets a stint of this in ''TDC''; though her 'innocence' might be questionable, she ''does'' deliver this line:

* {{Jerkass}}: Colin in this series’ standout example, though Chris, Zachary and occasionally Duncan get it as well.

* JustFriends: Ezekiel and Bridgette, though he clearly had a crush on her early on.

* {{Keet}}: Alfred, the American version of Owen, takes this UpToEleven.
* {{Kuudere}}: Noah (as in most Total Drama fanfiction).
* LargeHam: ''Everyone'' in the superhero challenge, bar [[HeroicMime Gwen.]]
* LastMinuteHookup: [[spoiler: Noah and Katie, Justin and Beth, and Joel and Hannah]] all hook up right before the girl gets voted off. The first one got almost ''no'' setup within a chapter. Averted, however, with [[spoiler: Ezekiel and Heather]] who had a proper setup, and [[spoiler: Sakaki and Sebastian]] who just sort of fell together.
* LeetLingo: Chico the Racoon. One of his original prototype names was even "Racroll."

* LiteralCliffhanger: DJ and Noah in Chapter 13 of TDC. [[spoiler:Noah makes the drop so DJ won't have to.]]

* LoveRedeems: Guess who. [[spoiler:It's Heather]].
** Averted with [[spoiler: Valerie/Zachary]]
** In a sense, Noah (with Katie) and Justin (with Beth) both become nicer after their hook-ups. At least, until [[MoralityChain Katie gets voted off TDB...]]
* LoveTriangle: In TDC, Cody/Beth/Justin. Cody has more luck as the hypotenuse in TDB, where Eva and Anita vie for his attention.
** Also, Izzy/Ezekiel/Heather. Probably.
* LoveDodecahedron: Izzy broke up with Owen and quickly entered a {{Love Triangle}} with Alfred and Mandy, after Alfred lost Daisy to Yoshi (although that might have [[OperationJealousy been faked]]) and accepted that Bridgette was taken, and Mandy lost her friend/ {{Les Yay}} partner Hannah who ended up with Joel. In addition, Izzy might have feelings for Ezekiel, who's with Heather although he's experiencing some {{Ho Yay}} with Tyler (who's still dating Lindsey) and Ezekiel also still has a slight crush on Bridgette who's having trouble with Geoff and possibly crushing on Harold who is having problems with Leshawna. Owen and possibly Alejandro have feelings for Sierra who has her canon crush on Cody who's in a LoveTriangle between Eva and Anita, and let's not forget [[LesYay Gwen/Bridgette]] undertones and Courtney seeing Gwen as a threat to her relationship with Duncan (despite still being with Trent in this fic).

* MalcolmXerox: Zachary.
* MamaBear: Bridgette to Ezekiel.

* MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame: One of the TDB challenges.
* MindlinkMates: A minor variant, with Ezekiel and Heather having very similar dreams.
* MissingMom: Actually, [[spoiler:Tyler]] probably wishes his mom had ''stayed'' missing...
* MistakenForGay: Noah ([[HoYay and Cody,]] to a lesser extent), Mandy ([[LesYay and Hannah]], to a lesser extent).
** Howard apparently fears this trope.
* MoralityPet: Cody for Courtney and to a lesser extent Duncan in Comeback (see Chapter 26)

* MsFanservice: The TDB producers hired Anita specifically for this reason, ordering her to wear revealing outfits. Since her motive for joining the show was to prove she was ''more'' than just an empty-headed pretty girl, you can imagine she’s not pleased with the situation.
** However, Izzy is usually more than happy to provide (see any trope that involves full frontal shots).

* NeverAcceptedInHisHometown: The reason Cody isn't aware of his popularity after TDI is he avoided any mentions of the show online. Why? Because everyone at ''his'' school harassed and teased him about ''being mauled by a bear''. [[TeensAreMonsters Eeesh]].
* [[NonIndicativeName Non Indicative Title]]: The producer, according to Chris is kind, wonderful, fair-minded, and non-discriminatory, amongst other things. Based on the decisions she makes, though, [[BiggerBad this is anything but true.]]
* NoodleImplements: We never did find out what Katie did with those soy beans...
* NotSoDifferent: [[spoiler: Gwen]] gets warned about the potential of becoming too similar to [[spoiler: Courtney and Heather]] in ''Comeback''.
* OddFriendship: Hannah and Mandy.

* OstentatiousSecret: Katie’s crush in TDC.
** In TDB, how Xander got his scars and limp.
** Not to mention whoever the hidden "villain" is in both seasons. More for the fans, although TDC characters speculated about it. Expect lots of shadowed faces and question marks whenever the person makes a confessional.

* PetTheDog: While he mostly TookALevelInJerkass, Chris ''does'' occasionally show a softer side, like in Comeback after [[spoiler: Harold's allergy attack]], or stepping in and showing everyone confessional footage to prove that [[spoiler: Cody's]] didn't help vote off [[spoiler:Trent]].
* PitbullDatesPuppy: [[spoiler:Heather/Ezekiel]] and Eva/Cody (although the last one is not officially a couple).
* PretendPrejudice: Though he’ll constantly whine about white people, Zachary seems to quickly click with Owen and Colin, and joins forces with Valerie after only slight hesitation.
** Well he only seems to hate racist people, which he views almost everyone as, but Colin hates everyone and Owen's way too nice.
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy: Yoshi.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "I! HAVE! A! SWORD!" - Chapter 28
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: More that the events of the actual show write the plot. Some elements are played straight (Courtney being a ClingyJealousGirl is inspired by ''Action''), but most are a way to subvert or correct the "wrongs" done by the show that Kobold doesn't like (Duncan and Owen, the supposed "fan-favorites" [[spoiler:getting voted off very early in TDB]] and the general treatment of Ezekiel and Bridgette, especially as of the events in ''World Tour'').
* ReformedButRejected: guess who again.
* RetCon: Originally, ''Total Drama Comeback'' was supposed to be a season set between ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama Island'' and ''Total Drama Action,'' referred to as season 1.5. Later, TDC just became the second season in this continuity, and TDA [[FanonDisContinuity never happened]]. Both {{Lampshaded}} and {{Handwaved}} by the contestants and Chris respectively.
* RunningGag: "Good question Beth, you get a cookie!"
* {{Schemer}}: Valerie and Sandra. This is Arthur's label, but he has not shown this yet (pity, he would make a far more interesting villian than Valerie or Sandra)

* SelfDeprecation: Probably an unintentional example: when fans tried to guess who the mystery villain was, many guesses went to Arthur aka "The Schemer", as labelled by Kobold himself, and next chapter basically saw him upset at being labelled as such, complaining the entire time that he was no schemer.

* SeriousBusiness: Izzy applies this trope to [=MMORPGs=] (and, by extension, everything)
* ShipperOnDeck: Pretty much Crystal’s whole point.
** Which makes even more sense if we consider she's an {{Expy}} of [=WinterRae=] (everybody believes that ShoutOut was a coincidence...).
** Also in Comeback, Courtney shipped Cody/Beth while [=LeShawna=] shipped Beth/Justin.

* ShipTease: Oh dear ''C'thullu'', where to begin. It doesn't help that Kobold is known for writing CrackPairing[=s,=] so just about any male/female interaction can plausibly be seen as this. (Not that ''all'' the teases are male/female...)

* ShooOutTheClowns: Variant in TDC: [[spoiler: Owen, Sadie and Geoff]] are the first three out, with the last elimination leading to the [[spoiler: Courtney/Duncan/Heather alliance]] that drives the drama until the DramaBomb episode. {{Lampshaded}} in the fourth episode with Chris [[spoiler:complaining about the last elimination making the island "less of a party"]]. {{Subverted}}, however, in that [[spoiler: Owen becomes an intern after his elimination]]. And even that is played with, as [[spoiler: despite his internship, Owen doesn't appear in the third episode because he went to ensure the second one eliminated wouldn't be lonely]].
* ShoutOut: There are ''many'' references to things The Kobold Necromancer likes, especially ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000,'' zombie movies, anime, Music/WeirdAlYankovic, etc. Averages about five a chapter.
** And now there is one for us too! Go TVTropes!

* SpaghettiKiss
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:Courtney's]] plotting in TDC was foiled because they never anticipated that [[spoiler:someone like Katie would ''deliberately'' leave the game so that Harold wouldn't have to go due to his allergies]].

* StrawmanPolitical: The rampant "picking on Christians" by Chris and the producers starts to sound a lot like a persecution complex after the first few times.

* StupidEvil: Colin repeatedly backstabs his teammates during challenges for no useful reason.
* TakeThat: A few examples:
** The vampire challenge in TDB, which is basically meant to parody/bash ''Literature/{{Twilight}}.''
** At another point in TDB, the losers of a challenge had to watch ''Disaster Movie.'' Carol was ''catatonic'' afterwards. Zachary and Colin seemed to like it, though.)
** Against bad fanfics:

* ThrowTheDogABone: The reason why Kobold made this fic in the first place was to do this for Ezekiel, but also to an extent Harold, Tyler and Cody (The latter more so in Battlegrounds)
* ThrowingOffTheDisability: [[spoiler:Harold]] manages to do this in TDC. A type two variation, i.e., it’s established as something he could recover from.
* ThrowingTheFight: [[spoiler: Chef, as a payback from Chris.]]
* TimeSkip: Six months passed between TDI and TDC, and another six pass between TDC and TDB. This is important, since events that occurred in several of the contestants' normal lives effect their actions in the game. [[spoiler: Ezekiel, Tyler, Harold and Courtney]] are among those most affected in TDC.

* TookALevelInBadass: Most of the characters during the virtual reality challenges, most obviously Heather.
** Even [[TheScrappy Sadie]], [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Clive]] and Rodney.
** But that's virtual reality challenges, not real. There should be a trope named [=EveryoneCanBeBadass=].
* TookALevelInJerkass: as if he wasn't bad enough, Chris
* [[spoiler:{{Tsundere}}: Heather and Eva]]
* TVTropesWillRuinYourVocabulary: Well, it ruined Harold's.

* UpToEleven: This trope helps to explain the sucess of these fics. The author pick challenges from the actual series, and also creating new types, and then, without the limitations of an animated show of almost half and hour, takes everything UpToEleven.
* ValleyGirl: OMG, Katie is like, totally this trope!
* VillainsOutShopping: PlayedForLaughs, with the vampires and aliens.
* VillainousBreakdown: In Comeback, [[spoiler: Courtney]] suffers one when [[spoiler: Harold isn't eliminated in Episode 9]], leading to a nasty confrontation and MotiveRant.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Owen with Valerie and Colin
* WhamEpisode: In TDB, [[spoiler: Hannah's elimination]].
* XtremeKoolLetterz: Turns into a DudeNotFunny Moment with the Cool Kids Club. [[UnfortunateImplications Yeah]]...
* YaoiFanGirl: Mainly Izzy, though Valerie and a few other girls get their moments as well.
* YuriFan: Several of the guys, especially during the fanservice challenge.
** The author himself has a thing for Gwen/Bridgette.
* WebcomicTime

* ZergRush: At the VR alien challenge, by the [[CaptainObvious aliens]]
* ZombieApocalypse: One of the virtual reality challenges in TDB.

* SleepCute: Ezekiel and Heather in TDC.
** [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in TDB when Joel and Daisy are found doing this, but deny that it necessarily has any romantic connotations. It really doesn't count as anything but ShipTease, as they both wind up with other people soon after.

* [[AllGirlsLikePonies All Scary Black Men Like Ponies]]

*** [[RunningGag That's dirty!]]

* [[ImaginaryLoveTriangle Imaginary Love Dodecahedron]]

** Though to be fair, K.N. says he's not a Christian. Still comes off a bit {{Anvilicious}}, though.

* [[TheManBehindTheMan The Woman Behind The Man]]: The Producer.

* ThatCameOutWrong: Often when Chris tries to explain some challenges.

* StripPoker

* CatharsisFactor: [[spoiler: Feral]] Ezekiel's ''massive'' NoHoldsBarredBeatdown of Chris Maclean in Chapter 49 was an equally massive release for Kobold and other Zeke fans who felt that Chris got off ''far'' too easy in the canon-verse for his treatment of Zeke in ''World Tour'' and ''All-Stars.''

The sequel, ''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5097082/1/TDC2_Total_Drama_Battlegrounds Total Drama Battlegrounds]]'' (TDB), is a similar story set six months after TDC. Here, however, the twenty-two original contestants are joined by twenty-two new ones, who can be found on the author's Website/{{Deviantart}} page [[http://comedymagmar.deviantart.com/gallery/# Total-Drama-Comeback-2 here]]. The story alternates between "normal" challenges and ones performed via a virtual reality machine, the latter involving tasks that would be impossible in the normal ''Total Drama'' [[TheVerse universe]] (such as fighting vampires or zombies). This story is dormant, but not officially [[DeadFic dead]].

* DeadFic: ''Battlegrounds'' appears to have gone this way, not having seen an update in well over two years. Its most recent chapter even cements this with Kobold Necromancer's talking about how long it's been and the unsure status of its continuation. And we were [[LeftHanging just about to resolve]] Cody, Eva, and Anita's RomanticPlotTumor...

* MoralEventHorizon: PlayedForDrama in TDC's ninth episode: [[spoiler: Courtney sabotages the eating contest by spiking the soup with the thing Harold's most allergic to, kicking off a nearly fatal reaction]].
