''Total Drama Survival'' is a fanfic by [[MostFanFicWritersAreGirls The Starlight Socialite]] on fanfiction.net, and is her first ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fanfiction. The author considers it a {{fix fic}} of the first season.

The cast, like in the original ''Total Drama'', has twenty-two [[OriginalCharacter brand new contestants]], all with their own [[BackStory personal stories]] and {{character development}}.

The story has been [[DevelopmentHell in the production stages since the beginning of 2012]] due to the author previously suffering severe {{writers block}} to the point that the fic has been [[DeadFic cancelled several times]].

She decided to revamp the fic after reading a fellow fanfiction, ''Fanfic/TotalDramaStranded'', that left her heavily inspired.

The story has been deleted.

'''Spoilers may be unmarked. You have been warned.'''

%%* AFatherToHisMen: Mason
%%* AbusiveParents: Thomas' dad, and Kat's parents (according to her.)
* AmbiguouslyGay: Chris and others believe that Hayley is homosexual, but they may simply be making assumptions based on his behavior and crossdressing. Hayley himself has said nothing on the matter.
%%* AttentionWhore: Genevieve and Hayley stand out as prime examples.
%%* AuthorTract: This happens on occasion on the "Author Remarks" sections that appear before and after a chapter.

* CloudCuckooLander: This work is heavily populated with cuckoos.
** Zayden's constant daydreaming distracts him from reality.

%%** Hayley
%%** Iris
%%** Tania is the lightest example. Her randomness and quirky nature put her on this spot.
%%* {{Crossdresser}}: Hayley

** [[spoiler: Mason]]'s parents kicked him out of the house and sent him to boot camp due to his former rebellious nature.

%%** Implied for [[spoiler: Hayley, Iris, Kat and Zayden]], although no details have been given.
%%* DeadpanSnarker: Several, with Lois being the most prominent.

%%* DumbBlonde: [[spoiler: Felicity]] [[ObfuscatingStupidity tries to pass herself off as this]].
