Uber Drama Island is a Total Drama fanfic by Agreenparrot
.
It has a cast made up of 24 original characters who are competing on an island for the grand prize of fame and fortune. The campers are broken up into four teams, each mentored by a returning canon character- Courtney, DJ, Trent and Lindsay. The series employs a mix of strategy, comedy, romance, and of course, drama. The campers have shelter, but not food, provided and must rely on their wits to get ahead.
A sequel, called Uber Drama Action, was later started and completed. 24 new characters compete at the abandoned film lot for the grand prize. This story is noticeably darker than the original Uber and like before, each team is mentored by a canon camper- Beth, Duncan, Eva and Justin. Shelter and food are provided, but that doesn't make this battle of wits and strategy any easier.
A third story, called Uber Drama: Mountain of Madness, is in progress. 24 new characters compete at a remote mountain with some rather varied terrain. This story is set to be rather crazy and goofy in tone, per Word of God. As before, each team is mentored by a canon character- Staci, Jo, Max and Topher. Niether food nor shelter are provided, making this the toughest Uber season yet.

Uber Drama Island provides examples of:
- Big Bad Duumvirate: Roquette and Nathaniel are both quite dangerous together. Bonus points for being in a couple.
- The Chessmaster: Nathaniel tries to pull this off. He falls short at the final 5.
- Determinator: You got to hand it to Destiny, with everything she's been handed, she still continues to fight.
- Eliminate The Hypotenuse: Rexx sees Dante as an obstacle to his love for Destiny and tries to get him eliminated. He's wrong, and he fails at it.
- Epic Fail: Even with
Executive Meddling, Courtney's Champions lose way more challenges than any other team and Are the first ones to be completely eradicated post-merge. - Extreme Doormat: Johnny literally just does ANYTHING anyone tells him.
- For the Evulz: Roquette during the first half plays with little consider for strategy. Even going as far as to eliminate her team's strongest asset with the reasoning "because I can."
- Genre Savvy: Robyn, taken to the extreme.
- Also Trevor somewhat. Knowing that if he acts mysterious, the plot will have to keep him around.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Vince is angered by anything he sees as an offense...although he usually feels bad afterwards.
- Hopeless Suitor: Rexx eventually becomes this for Destiny.
- Knight Templar: Tina. Her fixation on rules and being good eventually makes everyone a little worried for her.
- The Load: Sally and Darla are considerably useless in challenges.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Robyn Especially during her elimination speech.
- Lighter and Softer: The most optimistic story in Parrot's series.
- Love Makes You Crazy: Rexx's crush on Destiny soon delves into obsession and makes him very unstable.
- Love Triangle: Between Darla and Linda for Nile. Linda wins.
- Also Rexx sees this between him and Dante for Destiny, but it's all in his mind.
- Never My Fault: Destiny takes this attitude towards her constant losses.
- Playing Cyrano: Percy helps Rexx romance Destiny with his poetry. He also ends up taking the fall and getting eliminated instead of him.
- Portmanteau Couple Name: In-Universe, Robyn dubs BonBon and Trevor to be called Tronbon.
- Turncoat: Johnny flipflops between his alliance to Robyn and his alliance to Trevor and BonBon. This shows up again when he flips to Roquette's alliance and betrays his old one.
- White-and-Grey Morality: Easily Parrot's most optimistic story. All the villains are harmless, and the two who aren't are Nathaniel, who is more strategic than evil, and Roquette, who gets lots of Character Development, while still being a major antagonist.
- Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Roquette's initial shtick.
Uber Drama Action provides examples of:
- Ascended Fanboy: Xavier, whose goal is to make sure the "goddess" of the season emerges victorious.
- Douglas bases his entire look and strategy around Duncan, much to the chagrin of the latter.
- Berserk Button: Boe has a hatred of 'popular airheads who refuse to do any work' and is violantly hostile to anybody she deems to be one.
- Black-and-Grey Morality: A stark contrast to Uber Drama Island. Most of the Heroes are flawed and have notable vices, but several villains are truly horrible by the standards of the story.
- Cloud Cuckoolander: Mona and Amanda are heroic examples. Leroy and Judie are villainous examples. Stephen/The Professor is this taken up to eleven.
- Labelle tries to invoke this trope for more screentime.
- The Cutie: Several; stand-out examples are Amanda, Giselle and Mona.
- Deadpan Snarker: As to be expected from a Parrotverse story. everyone gets a moment of this, but stand-out examples are Adam, Aubrey, Buster, Jarred, Kendall, La Belle, and Yvonne.
- Epic Fail: The only way to describe Todd's performance in challenges.
- This also describes Leroy's competance at being a villain.
- For the Evulz: Kendall joined the show just so she would have an excuse to be as bad as possible.
- Jerkass: Several characters, even the 'heroes'. Biggest examples are Boe, Judie, Kendell and Maggie.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Perfect description of Jarred.
- My God, What Have I Done?: Rich feels this way for a few episodes after he votes off Giselle.
- Previous Player-Character Cameo: Every episode, a different contestant from Uber Drama Island will cameo as an intern, an assistant in the challenges, or in the episode recap with Chris.
- Sanity Slippage: In recent chapters Boe has devoted all her time to eliminating Aubrey. After she succeeds, she starts focusing on eliminating Douglas, Aubrey's best friend, all because of a silly argument in Episode 2.
- Sitcom Arch-Nemesis: Adam and Buster, Aubrey and Boe, Judie and Leroy, Douglas and Labelle... really, it's easier to list the characters who don't fall under this trope.
- Small Name, Big Ego: Judy, Buster, and Leroy. Todd is a non-villainous example.
- Token Minority: Averted, the cast has a decent amount of racial diversity in it.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: It can be argued that Boe is one of these.
Uber Drama: Mountain of Madness proves examples of:
- Card-Carrying Villain: Osmond boasts about being a villain and how he will avoid 'the usual potholes'.
- Expy: A larger young lady who has a need to be in charge and can be sweet or overbearing depending on her mood. This could apply to Island's Tina as well as Mountain's Serendipity.
- For the Evulz: Banner likes to pick on others, not caring if it puts a target on his back.
- Hyper-Competent Sidekick: Shaylin already seems to be taking on this role for everyone on her team.
- The Klutz: Several in this season. Antonia, Caullie, Mordecai, and Reggie all fall prey to this.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: International pop sensation icon Haylor Dash.
- Out of Focus: Arlo, Deirdre, and Trina get comparatively less screentime than the other characters.
- Previous Player-Character Cameo: Like with UDA, this season features cameo appearances from the previous season's contestants. It also continues the trend of having canon characters as cohosts, in this case: Max, Staci, Topher, and Jo.
- The Quiet One:
- Wesley, as part of his "strong silent type" image.
- Raven tries to avoid emotional attachment to people so she won't have any trouble voting them out.
