Line #5 Fanfic/TotalDramaRefresh


1	''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7793893/1/Total-Drama-Refresh Total Drama Refresh]]'' is a 2012 ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' Fanfic by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/3487087/agreenparrot agreenparrot]]
2
3	A cross between the typical Total Drama [[FandomSpecificPlot Fandom Specific Plots]] of retelling a canon season and having an entire cast of OCs compete, Total Drama Refresh introduces a cast comprised of 18 OCS and 4 [[OCStandIn OC Stand Ins]] that compete in all the original challenges of the canon first season, with a few challenges getting some added twists this time around. Each chapter focuses on a canon episode and how the new cast deals with it.
4
5	Upon completion of the fic, the author began a sequel, Total Drama Reaction, that would do the same for the canon second season, however, the author has confirmed it is a DeadFic.
6
7	This is the first of seven Original Character seasons the author has created. For pages on the others, see Fanfic/TotalDramaStranded, Fanfic/TotalDramaSwitcheroo, and Fanfic/UberDramaIsland.
8
9	In 2013, the author announced an All-Star season featuring characters from all three stories returning, retconning the events of the discontinued sequel. It was announced that Beatrice, Dirk, Edward, Lionel, Montana, Nicole, and Sooz from this story would be competing.

11	----
12	!! Tropes present in this fanfic include:
13
14	* ActionGirl: Montana is a prime example. Later on, [[spoiler: Annie becomes one as well.]]
15	* AmbiguouslyBrown: Matthew.
16	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Michael is a textbook example, although his older sibling, Gwen from canon, actually doesn't show up in the story.
17	* BigEater: Greta, especially when it comes to Momma DJ's cooking.
18	* BlackAndWhiteMorality: In sharp contrast to the author's later seasons, which use GrayAndGrayMorality, most people here are pretty straightforward heroes or villians. Only Nicole, and perhaps Jasmine and Lionel, can be said have any shades of gray. Momma DJ, Greta, and Michael don't really take a stand either way. Neither do Sooz or Ethan, although this is intentional and PlayedForLaughs, especially in the latter.
19	** Turns into WhiteAndGreyMorality after the merge. Edward loses all of his power, and becomes a sort-of underdog; Annie allows her obsession with eliminating Edward to consume her; Nicole takes over as the BigBad, but is just playing more strategically, than actually being cruel; Lionel is still an AntiHero, but more Anti now with Sophie gone; Bobby is still a jerk; Ethan and Sooz are still neutral; everyone else is a good guy in some way.
20	* CampStraight: ''Dirk''. What's especially interesting is that he seemed genuinely surprised that Victoria thought he was actually gay.
21	* CanonDiscontinuity: With the All-Star Season, the sequel appears to be this. However, it never finished anyway, so it's probably for the best.
22	* CassandraTruth: Annie is the only one who knows about Edward's true nature.
23	* CharacterDevelopment: Nicole [[spoiler: works her way up in the game to become one of the strongest players.]] Also Annie, who [[spoiler: is taught by Montana how to be an ActionGirl.]]
24	* CloudCuckooLander: Ethan seems to be in his own little world the entire time.
25	* CompetenceZone: Momma DJ is a grown woman with a cast that is otherwise made up of teens.
26	* EmoTeen: This is Parry's defining trait.
27	* DeadFic: The sequel after nine "episodes".
28	* FriendlessBackground: Poor Beatrice . . .
29	* FunnyForeigner: Montana is this to a tee. Her Catchphrase is even "Because I'm Australian, right.
30	* GadgeteerGenius: Subverted with Bobby, who while making what could be legitimately useful inventions, always ends up having them backfire on him in some way.
31	* {{Irony}}: Ezmyralda, who abhors sexism against women so much she stretches what constitutes as it, bears a resemblance to canon character Ezekiel, who is well known for making a couple sexist remarks he makes at the beginning of the first season. Her name even sounds like his a little.
32	* {{Jerkass}}: Bobby, Ezmyralda, Lionel, and Sophie. Sophie deserves particular mention in that she doesn't even care.
33	* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Montana is very much this for Parry.
34	* MrFanservice: Lionel relishes being this, so much that he didn't even come to the island with a shirt.
35	* MythologyGag: Edward, Montana, and Sophie were featured in a previous fanfic by the author, "Total Drama Roadtrip". It would have seen them travel with the twenty-four original contestants from canon while participating in challenges, a la Total Drama World Tour. It was cancelled after one chapter and never picked up after. Like the sequel, it falls under CanonDiscontinuity
36	* NiceGuy: Brady, especially towards Sooz.
37	* OCStandIn: Brady, Jasmine, Michael, and Momma DJ.
38	* PinkMeansFeminine: Annie is very feminine and wears a pink dress.
39	* PleasePutSomeClothesOn: [[spoiler: Lionel's ModestyTowel accidentally [[WardrobeMalfunction slips off]] when he's helping Nicole up after she got out of the shower.]]
40	* RecycledScript: In-universe. The challenges from the first canon season are all repeated. Justified as it is the theme of the season.
41	* SassyBlackWoman: A balanced example in this story. Momma DJ and Jasmine fit the trope, while Nicole is a complete inversion, being quite shy and timid.
42	* SitcomArchNemesis: Annie and Edward, as well as Jasmine and Sophie early on.
43	* ShipTease: Lionel does this to Nicole.
44	* ShooOutTheClowns: [[spoiler: Sooz, Ethan, and Eliot, three rather comedic characters, all leave in a row.]]
45	* StrawFeminist: Ezmyralda is an {{exaggerated\|trope}} example. Every single line she speaks illustrates this trope.
