Didn't we once come to a consensus of DS spread himself too thin, lost most of his top writers, tried to keep the series static, and just got complacent?

What bugged me as I was writing the fic was how easy it was to come up with stories for the entire life of the show and beyond - and I wouldn't have had to horribly undermine Freddie's character to do it. I could have easily written stuff that, even within the lame set-up of S&C, that I could have used to have the Sam and Cat characters grow. I could have taken more growth to Victorious.

From his point of view, it is risky: people tend to like static characters in the short term, but eventually tire of them. That's aside from requiring more skill from the writing and production staff in making the characters grow believably.
