History Fanfic / TotalDramaSomeStars

* OfficialCouple: Courtney and Scott either never had their canonical breakup or made up shortly afterwards. Mike and Zoey are still together, too, but considering Mike's [[TookALevelInJerkass changes]] bothering her quite a bit, and [[ForegoneConclusion that the fic is tagged as "''ill-fated'' Mike/Zoey..."

* HeroicBSOD: Anne Maria [[spoiler:when she loses her hair]]. Dawn [[spoiler:seems to have entered one as of learning the truth about Pahkitew Island.]] She gets over it [[spoiler: just in time for her self-organized elimination.]]

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Nothing seems to go right for Heather. [[spoiler:Dave]], on the other hand, subverts this.

* {{Jerkass}}: Holy ''shit'', Courtney.

* TheLancer: Noah is shaping up to be this for Brick, and Zoey is possibly doing the same to Duncan, and the Limelight Lions as a whole.

* TheLeader: Brick is the acknowledged leader of the Otters. Although the Lions don't have an acknowledged leader, Duncan is the de facto leader. Despite his insistence to the contrary, he's the most openly heroic of the bunch, and takes the initiative to get two of the team's most effective villains out.

* TooPowerfulToLive: [[spoiler: Mike, since he still seems to have [[AllYourPowersCombined abilities gained from the]] SplitPersonalityMerge. Eva is a subversion, as her behavior has led her to be regarded as a valued teammate by the Obscure Otters.]]

[[http://archiveofourown.org/works/2282622/chapters/5017161 Total Drama: Some Stars]] is a fairly young WesternAnimation/TotalDrama fanfiction by two unknowns of the fanfiction world, going by Bored_Commentator and Dollarino, set shortly after the events of ''Pahkitew Island'', on said island. [[SpotlightStealingSquad Characters with a tendency to overshadow the rest]] and characters subject to all forms of WeHardlyKnewYe, OutOfFocus, etc ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and Izzy]]), from the pre-''Pahkitew'' seasons are pit against one another on two teams. On the Limelight Lions is [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Duncan]], [[NotSoDifferent Heather, Courtney]], [[BigEater Owen]], [[SplitPersonalityMerge Mi]][[TookALevelInJerkass ke]], [[NiceGirl Zoey]], and [[FarmBoy Sco]][[TookALevelInDumbass tt]]. The obscure otters have [[{{Joisey}} Anne]] [[NobodyTouchesTheHair Maria]], [[LovableJock Ty]][[ButtMonkey ler]], [[NoOneGetsLeftBehind Brick]], [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold E]][[BrawnHilda va]], [[FriendToAllLivingThings Dawn]], [[DeadpanSnarker Noah]], and [[CloudCuckoolander Izzy]]. Competing for the series' usual grand prize of a cool million, these 14 contestants must endure the machinations of Chris [=McLean=], as well as those of his newest intern, Dave. There are five chapters up at the present, out of a planned 13 plus a bonus chapter. All spoilers for the canonical series will be left unmarked.

* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Topher enjoys fishing.]]
* [[spoiler:HostileShowTakeover: Dave does this at the end of Chapter 4.]]

* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Nothing seems to go right for Heather. [[spoiler:Now that the story has been rewritten to eliminate the intended BigBad in her place, though, time will tell if she manages to get out of this, though at the moment it seems like she's becoming Courtney's UnwittingPawn.]] [[spoiler:Dave]], on the other hand, subverts the hell out of this.

* TheLeader: Episode 2 has officially established Brick as such for the Otters, and Owen is this on paper for the Lions. Not that Courtney will accept the latter, insisting it's her position. If anyone's the real leader of the Lions, though, it's shaping up to be Duncan. Despite his insistence otherwise, he's been the most openly heroic of the bunch, and has taken the initiative to get two of the team's most effective villains out.

* MauveShirt: Dave is the one intern shown, but he's trying to break into the game and win the million himself. [[spoiler: His plan has led to a HostileShowTakeover at the end of Episode 4.]] [[spoiler:After he's kicked off the show as punishment, [[ChekhovsGunman Topher]] shows up again and fills the hole.]]

* RunningGag: Several already, such as Scott eating dirt, Duncan ineffectually hiding his heart of gold (carrying over from ''All Stars''), Owen's ineffectual attempts to win Izzy back, Izzy ditching the rest of her team to antagonize someone, Heather and Courtney denying how similar they are while fighting, Mike slipping into the verbal tendencies of his alternate personalities, Dawn's sudden failure to talk to animals and general unsettled feelings with the island, Zoey's ineffectual attempts at seeming like a loner, Courtney being embarrassed yet flattered at Scott's various "romantic gestures." and Dave's mistaking everyone for members of his own season. Tyler being rendered unable to speak but still trying to, incoherently.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: [[spoiler:Mike is definitely this, given how, in being the first voted off, he's already clearly pivotal to the CharacterDevelopment of Zoey and Duncan.]]

* TraumaticHaircut: [[spoiler:Anne Maria's hair being burned off causes such a HeroicBSOD that she willingly leaves the island.]]

* CuttingOffTheBranches: The introduction for the first episode establishes that Shawn was the winner of ''Pahkitew Island'' in this continuity, and Owen is referred to as "the original Total Drama winner." No word on who else won, though.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Chapter 3's notes detail that [[spoiler:the writers had initially planned on eliminating Heather that chapter, and allowing Scott to take over as the BigBad.]]

* BigBadEnsemble: The majority of the Limelight Lions are very credible potential villains, and Courtney, Heather, Scott, and Mike have (even if by technicality in Mike's case, which still counts due to implications that Mal's personality fused with his own) all actually ''been'' the BigBad of a canon season. You can also throw Dave into the mix, but he's not that good at it [[spoiler:until Episode 4]]. [[spoiler:Seems to be slowly becoming subverted, as Heather has been unwittingly DemotedToDragon, Mike and Scott are the first Lions to go, and Dave's HostileShowTakeover occurs in episode 4 out of ''13''. His defeat actually turns out pretty easy.]]

* HeroicBSOD: Anne Maria [[spoiler:when she loses her hair]]. Dawn [[spoiler:seems to have entered one as of learning the truth about Pahkitew Island.]]

There are three chapters up at the present, out of a planned 13 plus a bonus chapter. For the time being, all spoilers will be unmarked.

* BaitAndSwitchBoss: Scott is built up late into episode 3, revealing his HiddenDepths of being just as conniving as before, and getting Heather into some hot water... but Zoey and Duncan figure him out, and the latter talks Owen into it, leaving Heather to continue her antagonizing role. Basically, it's either a DoubleSubversion for Heather, or just straight-up subverted for Scott.

* BehindTheMask: Scott's lovable idiot tendencies he abruptly gained in ''All Stars''? All portrayed as a front. He's actually no less conniving than back in ''Revenge of the Island''. Duncan, Zoey, and possibly Owen are the only ones to catch on, but it's more than enough.

* DiscOneFinalBoss: Mike has taken ''several'' levels in jerkass, and it's more than implied that this is because Mal, the SuperpoweredEvilSide BigBad of ''All Stars'', had much more of an effect on the SplitPersonalityMerge in the finale of that season than Mike would care to admit. This, combined with the [[AllYourPowersCombined canonical nature of this merge]], makes him into an absolute force to be reckoned with... And then he's eliminated first by his all-too-GenreSavvy teammates, at Duncan's behest.

* HeroicBSOD: Anne Maria when she loses her hair. Dawn seems to have entered one as of learning the truth about Pahkitew Island.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: Nothing seems to go right for Heather. Now that the story has been rewritten to eliminate the intended BigBad in her place, though, time will tell if she manages to get out of this.
* {{Irony}}: At the beginning of episode 2, Anne Maria questions whether she brought enough hair product for the entire season. Later that same chapter she loses both the competition and her hair.
* TheLancer: Noah is shaping up to be this for Brick, and Zoey is possibly doing the same to Duncan.

* MauveShirt: Dave is the one intern shown, but he's trying to break into the game and win the million himself.

* NiceHat: Mike dons a fedora throughout chapter 1, only for it to be dropped when he gets the boot. Dave picks it up.
* OneDialogueTwoConversations: Tyler and Dave become friends and allies in the first chapter after discussing their respective love interests. Tyler and Lindsay are literally the most stable couple in all of Total Drama, whereas Dave and Sky... weren't. Tyler being TheDitz, he doesn't seem to get that Dave's intent of winning the money for a girl's sake is... very different from his own, and they agree to help each other when they can.
* PetTheDog: Heather expresses utmost sympathy when Anne Maria is left bald, even offering to let her borrow things from her vast wig collection sometime.

* RonTheDeathEater: Mike is a fairly straightforward example, his suddenly becoming an asshole justifying his early elimination. Ironically, WordOfGod is that both authors agree that their Mike is ''better'' than [[TheGenericGuy his actual]] [[RomanticPlotTumor self]], and that they partially regret his early elimination for this exact reason.

* ShockingElimination: Scott in the third episode, which had been building up towards Heather being sent packing, courtesy of Duncan's GenreSavvy. It was even a shocking elimination [[UpToEleven ''for the fic's writers'']].

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Mike is definitely this, given how, in being the first voted off, he's already clearly pivotal to the CharacterDevelopment of Zoey and Duncan.
* StarterVillain: Mike. [[LampshadeHanging He's even referred to as "first boss" in the post-chapter notes for episode 1.]]

* TraumaticHaircut: Anne Maria's hair being burned off causes such a HeroicBSOD that she willingly leaves the island.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Chapter 3's notes detail that the writers had initially planned on eliminating Heather that chapter, and allowing Scott to take over as the BigBad.

* BehindTheMask: Scott's lovable idiot tendencies he abruptly? All portrayed as a front. He's actually no less conniving. Duncan, Zoey, and possibly Owen are the only ones to catch on.

* CloudCuckoolandersMinder: Eva and, to a lesser extent, Noah, to Izzy.

* TheLeader: Episode 2 has officially established Brick as such for the Otters, and Owen is this on paper for the Lions. Not that Courtney will accept the latter, insisting it's her position. If anyone's the real leader of the Lions, though, it's shaping up to be Duncan. Despite his insistence otherwise, he's been the most openly heroic of the bunch, and has taken the initiative to get two of the team's most effective [[TokenEvilTeammate Token Evil Teammates]] out.

There are two chapters up at the present, out of a planned 13 plus a bonus chapter. For the time being, all spoilers will be unmarked.

* DeadpanSnarker: What would Noah be without this?

* VisualPun: Eliminated contestants "get the boot," which is to say a literal giant boot flies in and kicks them away from the island.

* TheLeader: Chapter 2 has officially established Brick as such for the Otters, and Owen for the Lions.

* RunningGag: Several already, such as Scott eating dirt, Duncan ineffectually hiding his heart of gold (carrying over from ''All Stars''), Owen's ineffectual attempts to win Izzy back, Heather and Courtney denying how similar they are while fighting, Mike slipping into the verbal tendencies of his alternate personalities, Dawn's sudden failure to talk to animals and general unsettled feelings with the island, Zoey's ineffectual attempts at seeming like a loner, and Dave's mistaking everyone for members of his own season.
