First, it is possible that their psyches don't matter as much.

Assuming they do, in order to get into the heads of the other writers, we need to see what they wrote for other series and how they handled them. For instance, I will bet Steve Holland and Steve Molaro used the Leonard-Penny dynamic from The Big Bang Theory as their basis for Seddie. Heck, I think they even used the same jokes a few times in both series. I am not familiar with most of the writers, so I don't want to say anything. But their other stories should provide some grist for analysis.

Conversely, I know how DS thinks because of the comments he made on iCarly.com when I defended his portrayal of fandoms in iStart a Fan War - he remembered my stories from fanzines and what he thought of a couple of them. He is a lot like Russell Davies, who similarly put himself into Doctor Who with the Rose Tyler character. I know him because I used to compete with him to get stories into the same fanzines.

Here's how my username and general personal philosophy shape my iCarly fanfic. I realised that, even if I excluded the  issues I wanted to deal with from iGoodbye, the Carly-Sam-Freddie dynamic is extraordinarily interesting. When I add those issues, the situation becomes immensely fascinating. Does Freddie choose between them? If so, who? What happens to the one who misses out? Does Marissa try to load the dice against one of the girls? How long would a new relationship last? It should surprise no one that I ultimately don't have Freddie ending up with either Carly or Sam in their youth; I never deal with what might happen years down the road. I also don't believe in "the happy ending", which annoys shippers who read my fics. (I can tell by the reading stats of my fics.)

I hope that helps.
