Dear Fanfiction Writers

by SideshowJazz1

The characters of Total Drama have been cruising through the archive of stories about them recently, and they're rather...interested in those who write about them. So they're going to do a bit of their own writing - to us, to say what they want written and not written about them! Pretty much a side project written for laughs. R&R!

37. Zoey's Letter

Dear Fanfiction Writers,

Wow. I really don't know what to say. The fact that you're interested enough to write about me and everyone else is something I have mixed feelings about. On the one hand, I feel really flattered and excited and pleased. But then again...some of the stuff you write makes me feel kind of uncomfortable.

If I really had to pick out what I would really like stopped, please, please stop pairing me with Mal. I don't know where anyone got the idea that a relationship would even start, much less how it would work. The fact that I love Mike has nothing to do with Mal or any of his other personalities, okay?

On a lighter note, I do like the way you write me when I am with Mike, or even when I'm just doing my own thing on the show. You don't always capture the reality perfectly, but there's an essence in it that I feel in reality. So that's brilliant.

I guess there's one more thing you really want to hear about from me. The internet has dubbed my competitive streak that came to the fore just before I left Revenge Of The Island "Commando Zoey". While she's not always obvious, she is a part of me, not another personality – just something you can't always tell is under the surface. I can be as much or as little of her as I want. She was always inside me, waiting to come out. It was just that...well, I don't usually let her loose the way I did that season. If you saw me on All-Stars, you'll notice that I had more confidence, and that's because I'd learned moderation. She was definitely in the part of me that wanted to win, but I made sure I didn't let her completely control my actions. And that got me to the finale!

And...fine, I will explain how I seemed to gain skills out of the blue that year. After losing the semifinals and realizing the adredaline I got when I let my competitive side free, I joined the gymnastics squad outside of school, and so when I returned to Total Drama, all my physical skills were much better. That's why I won three challenges in a row.

And, apart from anything else, your stories are pretty fun. Great work, you guys. Really creative.

Wishing you luck,

Zoey
