One thing I should mention: the bar for quality of iCarly FF is very high. Aside from Fantasy and Science Fiction fandoms, where everyone has the benefit of conventions with writing conferences and workshops, iCarly fandom on average generates the strongest FF I have ever seen - period. Don't be discouraged if you don't live up to that standard on the first try - average iCarly fan fiction is WAY better than virtually everything else.

I should mention that most FFs are wish-fulfilment stories. Even within that limitation, I have seen hundreds of wish-fulfilment fics that put a lot of thought into the characters and have thought very deeply and intelligently about various issues in the series. Some of those stories are so good that I recommended them to non-fans of the series to read! Some of the long stories are vastly superior to many episodes in the series.

As you know, I am miffed at DS for how he handled Freddie after the Seddie arc. But iGoodbye was an unconscionable slap at a large chunck of the fandom. The result was some of the best stories from fanfiction.net have been yanked by Seddiers.
