Dear Fanfiction Writers,
I'm flattered that you find our show so compelling, enough to write about. However, I find that I can't just read them without commenting. Some of my castmates have mentioned that they are writing to add in their own opinion, so I'll just focus on my own feelings in this letter.
First of all, a compliment. Thank you for respecting what you've seen and pairing me with Geoff. You mostly write us in-character and that's lovely to see.
What I dislike is the amount of involvement you imply between Alejandro and I. The attraction I may have shown was not ongoing or even willing. And I know perfectly well that everything he did was part of the competition. I am no longer interested or even attracted to him, but nor do I bear a grudge against him. I wouldn't be keen to be friends with him or anything and I certainly wouldn't trust him if we were on another season together, but nothing more. I remember a fic where Geoff and I wouldn't even let anyone mention him around us, and that's not how we feel. Geoff feels slightly more strongly about it than I do, but I'd rather just leave the past in the past. So I would rather like it if those people who wrote about it stopped viewing me as a victim. I prefer to think of the experience as a reminder to never let myself become a victim.
There is also something that Geoff will probably mention to you in his letter, about the kind of person he can become in stories where we break up. Please don't write him as OOC just to break us up – there are perfectly legitimate reasons in times where we almost broke up, and if you really want to do that, please try using those. Meanwhile, I wish you luck in writing.
Honestly and sincerely,
Bridgette
