If you were a fan of the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' series during the late 2000s and early 2010s and also like reading fanfiction, then you've probably heard of this guy.

The Kobold Necromancer (formerly known as [=ComedyMagmar=]) was one of the big names in the ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fandom and one of its most prolific fan writers, having created some of the most well-known fanfictions of the series. His most famous work is easily ''{{Fanfic/Total Drama Comeback|Series}}'', a second season made in 2008 (when the first season was still completing its run in the United States) that quickly became extremely popular with the fandom for being one of the first truly big and ambitious [[FandomSpecificPlot competition fics]] written to be fully completed and for the focus and development it gave to [[HomeschooledKids Ezekiel]], the first contestant eliminated in the series and Kobold's favorite character. He has also written several other fanfictions for the ''Total Drama'' franchise, including ''Comeback'''s (unfinished) sequel ''Total Drama Battlegrounds'', as well as a few fanfics for other series like the ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' franchise.

Kobold is so prolific in the fanbase that his work has actually been [[FandomNod given nods]] by Creator/FreshTV in ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' proper. For instance, the second episode of the third season has Noah, Izzy, and Tyler having to complete a challenge featuring a goat, and the same trio falling asleep under a tree, which is an almost exact replica of a scene from ''Comeback'', minus the blanket. And in the ''Celebrity Manhunt'' special, Blaineley outright states the contestants are making a "Total Drama Comeback". Similarly, the character of Shawn from the show's sixth season is rumored to be heavily based on Kobold himself due to sharing many of his traits (although he has denied this claim, albeit in a somewhat joking manner).

You can find his Fanfiction.net account [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1682634/The_Kobold_Necromancer here]]. He's also on Deviantart [[https://www.deviantart.com/thekoboldnecromancer here]]. And in case you're wondering, he's fully aware of the existence of TV Tropes and has referenced it in some fashion several times in his writings.

!!The Kobold Necromancer invokes the following tropes:
* AuthorAppeal: Where do we begin?
** {{Crack Pairing}}s involving his favorite characters, particularly Brigold (Bridgette/Harold), Bridgekiel (Bridgette/Ezekiel), and Ezzy (Ezekiel/Izzy) - the first and last of which are his preferred pairings over Bridgette and Izzy's canonical ones.
** He's also quite fond of Gwidgette ([[LesYay Gwen/Bridgette]]), so expect homosexual undertones to some of their interactions in his work.
** {{Shout Out}}s to many of his favorite non-''Total Drama'' works, such as ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', Music/WeirdAlYankovic's music, and ZombieApocalypse stories.
* AuthorAvatar / OCStandIn: His depiction of Ezekiel has been accused of being this by some.
* CrackPairing: As mentioned above, he very frequently includes these.
* CreatorThumbprint: Many of his fanfictions have similar tone, humor, and character depictions, with many familiar patterns popping up in his work, especially regarding his favorite characters.
** His characterization of Ezekiel is almost iconic in the fanfiction community, depicting him as an innocent and timid NiceGuy with deep remorse for his sexist remarks that got him eliminated originally, significant HiddenDepths (such as being a SupremeChef), {{Odd Friendship}}s with Izzy and Tyler (characters he never canonically interacted with), and a habit of pulling his toque over his eyes when he's scared or embarrassed.
** Harold is always portrayed as a major NiceGuy, taking his kind moments further and giving him a major OddFriendship with [[NiceGirl Bridgette]][[note]]while the two were shown to be on good terms in canon, they were more of acquaintances than real friends[[/note]] that has frequent ShipTease between them (even in stories where they're paired with different characters).
* CreatorsFavorite: Ezekiel, Bridgette, Izzy, Harold, Noah, Tyler, Cody, Gwen, Zoey, Dawn, Ella, Shawn, Kitty, Crimson, and [=MacArthur=] are his favorite characters. The first four in particular especially stand out given how they tend to feature prominently in his fanfiction.
* CreatorsPest: Duncan (from ''World Tour'' onwards), Alejandro, and especially Chris [=McLean=] are his most despised characters. They frequently receive the short end of the stick in his works.
* DieForOurShip: As you can tell by his fondness for pairing Bridgette with far nerdier characters, Geoff tends to get the short end of the stick in his works (although never to the same extent as his despised characters).
* FanArt: A fan of The Kobold Necromancer commission a whole ''gallery folder'' of pictures of characters from his stories [[https://www.deviantart.com/crsto20/gallery/81243198/the-kobold-necromancer here]].
* FixFic:
** ''Comeback'' was often seen as one for the second season of ''Total Drama'' following the negative reception its official second season ''Total Drama Action'' received.
** Kobold himself is well-known for his immense hatred for the third season ''Total Drama World Tour'', and a few of his works have focused on fixing what he sees as the season's biggest mistakes (especially eliminating Ezekiel first and mutating him into a monster).
* FollowTheLeader:
** His work has inspired countless other ''Total Drama'' fanfiction writers, including other prominent authors like Winter Rae, Rufus T. Serenity, [=LordAkiyama=], and TDI Charlie Brown.
** His depiction of Ezekiel has been used to the death by other fanfiction writers as the basis for their interpretation of the character.
** The last names that he gave the original 22 contestants in his fics have become reused by countless other fanfictions, such as "Summers" for Bridgette or "Kasuga" for Heather.
* GiveGeeksAChance: A recurring theme in his work, with the show's less traditionally masculine boys like Cody, Harold, Noah, and Ezekiel often getting shipped with extremely attractive girls normally way out of their league, such as Lindsay, Bridgette, Gwen, and Heather.
* RevengeFic: His work occasionally contains elements of these, typically directed towards Chris [=McLean=] and Alejandro.
* ShipTease: Common in his works; if two characters he enjoys pairing together are instead paired with someone else or don't get together in the story, expect them to still be teased together a lot.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: His work has been criticized for giving this status to Ezekiel, Bridgette, and Izzy whilst also ridiculing Owen and Duncan's positions as such in canon and making them [[OutOfFocus Out Of Focus]].
