User blog comment:Lovin'Seddie/When did you start to like iCarly?/@comment-3092491-20110528031109

From the moment I saw iPilot the night it premiered I was what one may call OBSESSED. Completely. I thought it was *one of* the greatest things I'd ever seen - still do - always will.

I actually wasn't obsessed enough to join the online fandom until around last September, but that actually doesn't mean much since I've never even peaked into the online fandoms for what I consider my two absolute favorite TV shows. I think what makes me join online fandoms is actually if shipping gets involved...which leads into the bonus question :D

I just didn't really consider ships for iCarly seriously until after iKiss and I always thought Sam and Freddie was obviously what was happening. I guess I knew there would be shipping for the show, cause there is ALWAYS shipping, and I actually looked for fanfiction at one point wondering if a lot of people wrote it for iCarly and saw a lot of Seddie fics. None of them were any good and I figured that was a given for this kind of show and I wouldn't find any good fanfic (luckily in the past several months I've been proven very wrong) but anyway...at some point around the summer I found this wiki and got more in tune with what a big shipping conflict was within this fandom. Kinda surprised me. Still does at times.
