A Total Drama fanfic
written by Stereotypical Vampire
After Pahkitew Island, Chris has decided to reuse Camp Pahkitew for a sort of 'New All-Star' season. That's right, he's bringing back 36 contestants that still have beef with the show or have had a lack of screen time, and pitting them against each other for the grand prize of 1 MILLION!
The competitors:
- Island: Heather, Bridgette, Geoff, Gwen, DJ, Duncan, Courtney, Harold, LeShawna, Tyler, Noah, Izzy, Eva, Trent, Cody, Ezekiel, Katie, Sadie, Owen
- World Tour: Alejandro
- Revenge of the Island: Jo, Brick, Scott, Dakota, B, Dawn, Anne Maria
- Pahkitew Island: Rodney, Ella, Amy, Samey, Jasmine, Sky, Dave, Topher, Max, Scarlett
This fanfiction contains examples of:
- Alpha Bitch: Heather and Amy, as per canon.
- Amusing Injuries: This being a fanfic of the Total Drama series, there are too many instances of this to count.
- Arch-Enemy: Dave and Sky to each other: Dave entered the competition for the sole purpose of defeating her for making a fool of him back in Pahkitew, and Sky's sick of Dave's anger over it and wants him eliminated.
- Ascended Extra: Many contestants who received little focus in the canon seasons are given so here, such as Ezekiel, Katie and Sadie, Noah, Eva, and Dawn.
- Big Bad: Scarlett and Amy share this role.
- Big Bad Ensemble: Alejandro, Heather, Scott, Amy, Max and Scarlett are all present as competitors.
- Bloodier and Gorier: The VR (Virtual Reality) challenges often have the contestants killed in brutal ways that the challenges in the show's world would never be able to.

- Control Freak: Courtney, as per her canon self.
- Demoted to Extra:
- Despite being the main main trio of both ROTI and All-Stars, Mike, Zoey and Cameron do not compete, presumably due to all three being both finalists and rather divisive among the fandom. They make a return for the Cruise of Lose, where they are shown interviewing several of the eliminated and non-participating contestants.
- Subverted with Owen: he initially appears as an intern since he didn't make the cut as a contestant, but Chris promotes him to a competitor a few chapters later.

- Instant-Win Condition: The ice fishing challenge has players diving into icy waters and bringing up various species of fish to get points: a minnow gives 1, bass give 5, muskellunges give 10, and both sharks and seals grant 20 points. The first team to 100 points wins. However, in the event that someone manages to catch a killer whale, their team will win the game automatically. Naturally, Izzy manages to accomplish said feat with flying colours.

However, the guilt of lying to her and earlier Jo eventually gets to Brick, to the point where he chooses to eliminate himself a couple of chapters later.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Dave and Sky when they are forced into and stuck in the outhouse confessional for the entirety of the League of Legend MMO challenge.Dave: You know Sky, you really hurt me. What you did. You said you liked me, I know you meant it. I was so happy, finally a girl that I liked liked me back. But then you lashed out at me during the drinking challenge. That really hurt. I didn't want to be there anymore. You ruined it for me. But you weren't done. At the finale you kissed me. That changed everything. I felt that whatever had happened was over now... but then it turned out... YOU HAD A BOYFRIEND! I gave you my heart and you stabbed it a million times. Then you patched it back together, only to tear it apart again. I don't care how you feel. Just try to justify what you did.

- Superhero Episode: The first VR challenge has the contestants assume superhero or supervillain identities (with matching superpowers) and battle each other.
