Yeah, iOpen... did make real of the shipping- wars of the ep iStart..., but I don´t think Dan could please both fandoms. Apart from taking a deliberate stand (Seddie OR Creddie) he could go: end the show without ANY pairing in the Sam-Freddie-Carly-Gibby quadruple. That would mean that no shipping would be officiall. That would upset any fandom. But leave it open- ending. Or go "in the future Carly/Sam/Freddie/Gibby ended up with... Unknown character". That would end the debate of whom ended up with whom but no fandom would be really happy.

The last alternative has been done before, if someone remember "The Wonder Years", starring Fred Savage. Then the main character had a long childhood/teenage crush on his best [girl]friend but the series ended with him and his crush parting ways just to meet each other again as adults with separete familes.

So I do think, in the end Dan must make a choice, he can never make both shipping- fandoms happy but he can end it in away that gives a clear- cut answer or a open- ending. Remeber that he ended his earlier shows that way, "What I Like About You" ended with a final answer as did Drake & Josh (they proved that they really did loved each other as brothers despite their differencies).
