** TKN makes it no secret that his least favourite characters are Chris and Alejandro, with the way the two are treated in his stories. Alejandro in particular gets kneed in the groin by Bridgette as a sort of "revenge" for what he did to her on ''World Tour''. Fans have even dubbed it "the knee of justice".
** Kobold dislikes Bridgette/Geoff[[note]]And just to be clear this was before ''Total Drama Action'' caused many to AbandonShipping. To quote, ''"I just think, realistically, [Geoff]'s a poor match for Bridgette. The best they have is that he's a nice guy, and she's a nice gal. But he's a loud, wild, party animal who likes to prank people, and she's more a controlled, mature, outdoors gal who is friends with everyone."''[[/note]], and makes it very clear in his fics with the fact that Bridgette gets more ShipTease with Harold and Ezekiel than she does with Geoff. He's also not very fond of Owen/Izzy, hence why Izzy gets more ShipTease with Ezekiel and breaks up with Owen.

* RunningTheAsylum: Wiki/TVTropes in a way is doing this: after a trope appears on the page, it is acknowledged in the next chapter, either by playing it straight, [[LampshadeHanging lampshading,]] or subverting it in some way that will stick it to that particular trope. Examples include the FridgeHorror, RomanticPlotTumor, {{Schemer}} (to a lesser extent), ShoutOut, and SpotlightStealingSquad examples on the very page.

* CreatorsFavorite: Ezekiel, Bridgette and Izzy. It won't take a reader much time to figure out how much TKN loves them, given the huge screentime, focus and development each one of them get. Still, he's careful enough not to turn them into Mary Sues.

* FollowTheLeader: Although ''Comeback'' wasn't the first [[FandomSpecificPlot competition story]], it helped popularize the type, and many later competition stories borrow liberally from its concepts.

* AscendedFanon: Very likely; the initials "TDC" showed up in the TDA special. Ironically, TDC is considered to be the FixFic to ''Action''. Another, more interesting example, is that Kobold often inserts details about the OC's clothes based on how people draw them into whatever the next chapter is, ascending them ''into'' fanon.
