Folks, this might be more worthwhile (and more fun to read) if we took the time to describe our favorite stories and explain why we like them.

Personally, my favorite iCarly fanfic is probably a story called "Torn Between Girls," by Citysinger13 :

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6687377/1/Torn_Between_Girls

A new girl named Liz has arrived in Seattle, in Bushwell Plaza, in Ridgeway, and most importantly, into Freddie Benson's life. In very short order, Liz finds herself the object of romantic affection from Freddie, polite indifference from Carly, and open, unremitting hostility from Sam.

Neither of them realize it at first, but Freddie's feelings for Liz have unwittingly triggered jealousy in both Carly and Sam, leading to ... not so much a love triangle as a "love pyramid" (as my brother refers to it). And, as the truth comes out, Freddie finds that he must inevitably make a choice between three girls, each of whom has, in her own way, captured his heart.

It is rare that I find a fanfic that I like enough to review extensively. This author (who is a teenager, and, in my opinion, quite talented for being so young) does a wonderful job of bringing out all four characters' emotions, and creating sympathy for each one.

If you're a Freddie fan (like I am), you'll probably like this story. In this type of plotline, he could have easily come off looking like a jerk, but instead, the author paints him, as well as the three girls, in a very positive, sympathetic light.

An interesting twist here ... The author actually wrote four different endings to the story :

1. Freddie chooses Carly. 2. Freddie chooses Sam. 3. Freddie chooses Liz. 4. Freddie chooses NONE of the girls, and instead decides to be "just friends" with all of them.

The author ran a poll on her profile page, asking her readers to choose the ending they wanted. The ending that won the poll became the "official" ending to the story, and the author then posted the other three (as "alternate" endings) in the order in which they did in the poll.
