[[http://thepublisheroct.deviantart.com The Publisher OCT]] is an OriginalCharacterTournament hosted by [[http://rainbowicreverie.deviantart.com RainbowicReverie]] with judges [[http://macabreaustererelume.deviantart.com MacabreAustereRelume]], [[http://vanillastarburst.deviantart.com VanillaStarburst]], [[http://angelandchangeling AngelAndChangeling]], and [[http://dragonht.deviantart.com DragonHT]] on deviantArt. The contestants in-universe are actually representations of the competitors themselves. At the start of the tournament, these artists and writers have received a mysterious invitation signed by "The Publisher," inviting them to an interview that promises to be "the opportunity of a lifetime." Hoping to get their work published, the contestants travel to The Facility, where they are locked inside and receive wristbands that allow them to turn into any one of three of their characters at their will. As it turns out, the interview process is a tournament between the contestants with their newly given powers, competing for a chance at the ultimate goal of publication. But who is The Publisher, and what does he want? Is the prize too good to be true, or could it be actually real?

* CookingDuel: Although the tournament was usually interpreted to be fighting-based, a notable number of the contestants chose alternative ways to settle their scores, including an eating contest, multiple races, [[http://hisiheyah.deviantart.com/art/TPOCT-Round-1-3-Shanghai-Lee-and-a-Game-of-Scones-405806866 and, of course, a cook-off.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: The Publisher's staff only go by their respective job names ("The Secretary," "The Illustrator…") rather than their actual names - quite like The Publisher himself.

to:

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The [[BigBad "Publisher,"]] really an entity of pure chaos, is vanquished, but at a price... all the contestants forget their beloved characters. In the end, they have [[ThePowerOfFriendship to work with each other]] to piece their memories together again.]]
* CaptainOblivious: Who would work at such a creepy facility with such suspiciously high security? Most of the staff at the Facility are portrayed as actually too obliviously wrapped up in their respective jobs to question it (See: The Janitor, The Editor, The Illustrator). The rest just seem kind of [[PunchClockVillain creepy enough to handle themselves]] in the situation (See: The Doctor, The Secretary).
* CookingDuel: Although the tournament was usually interpreted to be fighting-based, a notable number of the contestants chose alternative ways to settle their scores, including an eating contest, laser tag, multiple races, [[http://hisiheyah.deviantart.com/art/TPOCT-Round-1-3-Shanghai-Lee-and-a-Game-of-Scones-405806866 and, of course, a cook-off.]]
