1''Survivor: Mint Version'' is a fanfic series created as a {{Spinoff}} of ''Webcomic/SurvivorFanCharacters'', which is itself based off the real life TV series ''Series/{{Survivor}}''. It is done in a prose format rather than a comic format,[[note]]Although the first episode of Season 1 was in a comic format.[[/note]] and distinguishes itself from similar series by using characters that are not bound to any specific franchise.
2
3The format is much like that of the works it is based on: 18 to 20 contestants are divided into teams and compete in challenges, where the losing team must vote a member off at Tribal Council. About halfway through the season, the teams are dissolved and the players compete against each other individually for immunity from the vote. This continues until there are only two players remaining, where a jury of the players they most recently eliminated votes for a winner.

5The Mint Version series is strongly connected with related series ''Fanfic/SurvivorCentralHub'' and ''Fanfic/SurvivorXoverVersion''.

7So far, two seasons have been completed and a third is in progress. The series can be found [[http://minty2mayhem.deviantart.com/ here]].

9!!Tropes associated with this series:
10* DarkHorseVictory: In Season 1, [[spoiler: Tipper makes the final two and wins, after being looked down on by much of the cast all season.]]
11* FriendshipMoment: By nature of the competitive aspect of the game, these are rare. [[spoiler:One noteworthy example happens in Inca Legacy, when Candace and Buddy confide in each other about feeling ostracized and laughed at by others.]]
12* MegaCrossover: Subverted. Unlike related series, no characters in Survivor: Mint Version are tied to existing franchises.
13* {{Spinoff}}: Of Survivor: Fan Characters. The series also draws from fellow spinoff series ''Fanfic/SurvivorCentralHub'' and ''Fanfic/SurvivorXoverVersion''.
14** LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy: The use of nonhuman fan characters in those series is the reason why about a quarter of Survivor: Mint Version characters are nonhumans.
15* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Jackie in Inca Legacy is the twin sister of Emily in Muskoka Hills. Jackie believes that she is the Smart Sister to Emily's Beautiful Sister, and desperately wants to get farther than Emily did. [[spoiler:Upon being eliminated at 12th place, and realizing that she did not get farther than her sister, Jackie is devastated.]]
16* ToneShift: After a decent focus on supernatural characters and events in the first two seasons, Survivor: Inca Legacy took on a more grounded and realistic tone, [[spoiler:however, it does involve the [[DeathOfPersonality exorcism and annihilation of the malevolent spirit inside Percival]] that was behind most supernatural elements in the early series]].
17* TwinSwitch: Subverted. In Season 1, Tipper reveals that she and her brother Topper wore baggy clothes to more convincingly pull this off, but their SiblingRivalry prevents them from cooperating long enough to do so.
