A pair of ''[[Total Drama Island (Animation)|Total Drama Island]]'' fanfictions by [http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1722613/Frank15 Frank15] that are considered by some in the Total Drama fandom to be second best or even better than [[Total Drama Comeback Series]].
 
The first story, "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5288602/1/Total_Drama_Chris Total Drama Chris]", has the contestants return for a second season of Total Drama where one of them wins $1,000,000. There are new teams such as The Screaming Pansies and The Killer Chrises and certain friendships, conflicts, and relationships are given some development. There's even a ''Total Drama Aftermath''-like show called ''Total Drama Izzy''. A lot of contestants have some time in the limelight but arguably there are three [[Breakout Character|Break Out Characters]]: Lindsay, Katie, and Heather. Lindsay is intent on proving that she's not just another [[Dumb Blonde]], Katie is shown to actually be quite smart and independent, and Heather also comes back in hopes of seeking redemption and making some friends.
Line 13:
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: [[Lampshaded]] when Leshawna asks whether Courtney counts as a 'sister' or not.
* [[Artist Disillusionment]]: It is taking a long time for the fanfic to ever get updated, due to the author's ongoing vendetta against one of his diehard fans.
* [[As Long Asas It Sounds Foreign]]: In several episodes of Alphabet, Izzy speaks Spanish. Or what passes for it, at least...
* [[The Atoner]]: Heather, and also {{spoiler|Leshawna later on}}.
* [[Bait and Switch]]: The contestants on ''Total Drama Alphabet'' are clearly being set up for a ''Phobia Factor''-like challenge, where the interns are forcing them to reveal their fears, mostly by using drinks laced with truth serum.
Line 24:
** Leanne in TDABC.
* [[Card-Carrying Villain]]: Todd from Alphabet
* [[Carried Byby the Host]]: Chris ''thinks'' this of the ''Total Drama'' series, and does not appreciate being told otherwise.
* [[Character Development]]: Chris' bane. He views the entire cast as [[Flat Character|Flat Characters]], and actively tries to cram them back into their respective stereotypes.
* [[Character Exaggeration]]: Chris was always a [[Jerkass]], but here he's apparently [[Level Grinding|Level Grinded]] [[Took a Level In Jerkass|to]] [[Complete Monster]] levels, to the point where he makes [["Just Joking" Justification|jokes]] about hoping to see campers ''[[Driven to Suicide|kill themselves]]'' after friendships break up.
Line 41:
* [[Elimination Houdini]]: Chris views Katie as this, and isn't afraid of letting everyone know it.
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Chris devolves into such a [[Complete Monster]] that '''Chef''' starts protesting that he's going too far.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Bob]] - More accurately, Everything's Stupider With Bob
* [[Exact Words]]: Used in several instances of [[Loophole Abuse]].
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Both negative and positive examples:
** Negative: Chris ramps his abuse of his position as show host [[Up to Eleven]] and flagrantly tries to bend the rules in his own contract to give himself even more control.
** Positive: Chris' superiors at the network override several of his demands and abuses, resulting in the Aftermath-like ''Total Drama Izzy'' and aiding Izzy as a [[Spanner in Thethe Works]] of Chris' scheming. By the end of ''Total Drama Chris'', {{spoiler|they're so sick of Chris' drama that they drop him like a bad habit}}.
* [[Fallen Princess]]: Heather.
* [[Fan Dumb]]: In-universe, [[Played for Laughs]] and seriously during the ''Total Drama Izzy'' segments. Izzy is not happy with all the bashing that goes on in the fandom, nope nope!
Line 59:
* [[Hide Your Lesbians]]: Averted with Nicole (with hilarious results when Todd tried to hit on her) and Rain.
** And Margo.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard]]: Chris; just as he tries to find loopholes to inflict more pain on the contestants and eliminate who ''he'' wants to see gone, so too do the contestants find and exploit loopholes in his poorly thought-out challenges. {{spoiler|And it's a loophole in his contract that allows his producers to fire him at the end of ''TD Chris''.}}
* [[Humiliation Conga]]: Day 5 outlines one: {{spoiler|Heather was invited to the prom, only to be stood up by her date, who was ''actually'' dating her former best friend. Another former friend of hers whom she'd tormented for being a lesbian invites her to dance, only for both of them to draw further mocking. [[It Got Worse]].}}
* [[Irony]]: [[Lampshaded]] throughout Day 8 of ''TD Chris''; particularly ironic comments are followed by an innocently oblivious Lindsay rambling on to the [[Confession Cam]] about how her maid is good at making everything "[[Malaproper|nice and irony]]".
Line 86:
* [[Purple Prose]]: Trent's fanfic, just Trent's fanfic.
* [[Reformed but Rejected]]: Heather struggles with this; the problem is only amplified by Chris doing his damnest to shove her back into the role of villain.
* [[Relative Error]]: When Heather believes Geoff and [[Total Sibling Rivalry (Fanfic)|Marilee]] are on a date.
* [[Rescued From the Scrappy Heap]]: Katie and Sadie are given [[Divergent Character Evolution]] while retaining their close friendship. Chris also develops a personal grudge against Katie and begins openly gunning for her, [[Lampshading]] her usual Scrappy status by insisting that she's the most annoying creature EVER.
* [[Rule of Three]]: During Day 4's 'secret challenge', Chris is punched out three times in a row, by {{spoiler|Trent, Tyler and <s>Cody</s> Chef.}}
Line 94:
* [[Shout-Out]]: The series takes several cues from ''[[Total Drama Comeback]]'', including a few of its [[Crack Pairing|Crack Pairings]].
** One challenge is based off of [[Sailor Moon]]. References are made to both the original series and the English dub, with Noah expressing shock that Lindsay is only familiar with the subbed version.
** Another is based on [[PacmanPac-Man]].
** And yet another is based on [[Sesame Street]]. I'm not kidding.
* [[Spanner in Thethe Works]]: Izzy.
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: Lindsay and Katrina.
* [[Straw Misogynist]]: Invoked when the campers have to [[Cosplay]] as each other: {{spoiler|Justin}} is assigned Ezekiel, and takes advantage of this to gleefully spout the most sexist rhetoric he can come up with. Chris also gleefully encourages sexist comments, though it's unclear whether he actually believes this or is just trying to stir up yet more trouble; either way, it fits with his higher level of Jerkass.
* [[Squee]]: A trademark of Katie and Sadie.
* [[Take That]]: Against [[Twilight (Literaturenovel)|Twilight]], McDonalds, Total Drama Action...
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Izzy letting Sierra in the island during the second season reminds the readers of this.
* [[Thirteen Is Unlucky]]: Total Drama Alphabet's cast, surprisingly enough, does not include anyone whose name begins with the letter M. And since M is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet... {{spoiler|Although this is remedied later on in the story with Mallory's arrival.}}
