Nothing, really:)

I don't think it's 100% proper that I should talk about this (since I'm not neutral either:) ) but, it's really nice that you want my opinion on such a matter and if you really want it, I'll help you (or at least, I'll try).

Well, the best thing you could do I believe would be to not mention Creddie at all-not because one can't refer to it without passing anti-Creddie sentiment (either he/she wants it or not and either it is subjective for the person who reads it or not, with prejudice and everything). But because it's difficult to make a comparison totally "fail-safe". Even if it is well-intentioned, some might still see it otherwise etc.

If you want to mention it (and I don't aim to discourage you from doing it), I believe that you're mostly ok. I mean, you've already written about Sam and Freddie romance in depth. One thing you could add for the purpose above, would be for example "Romance between Sam and Freddie is different than the romance between Carly and Freddie, even though we have the same boy/male character on both occasions" or something like that. The justification is that, every couple is diverse and unique because each human is special, unique (which is nothing but the truth I believe). And to me it seems this is the most "diplomatic" sentence one can achieve about these 2 relationships.

I hope I helped and by reading it, you didn't become all dizzy:)

PS: One more thing you could add (best at the end) would be "Bottom line, while one can suggest some guidelines and tips about writing stories with specific characters in a specific concept (love/romance), you are still free to use your imagination- which is the best "weapon" in your "arsenal".

Sorry if you already wrote that or something similar, I didn't read every single sentence carefully:)
