User blog comment:Sockstar1/Creddie fans prepare yourselves for iSeddie/@comment-3092491-20110609025735

I would just like to correct a misperception (is this not a word?) people seem to have been having about one of my first comments on what is now the second page...I understand as well as any of you that the fans don't have to like what the writer does with the characters - and I *really* understand that sometimes the writers are just giving out *poor* writing and maybe the fans can give heaps of good criticism as to why the direction the writer took was wrong or poor.

I was just speaking from the perspective of a writer, in this case Dan, and that he believes he knows his characters and is a good writer (and I've seen nothing to the contrary yet) and as such he thinks the fans should enjoy what he's doing. I meant in no way that this perspective he probably holds is how it should be. You don't have to like what Dan is doing with his show.

That said, I've also seen in many fandoms people missing the larger picture and criticizing the work of an author for completely petty reasons, when if they'd just pay attention to the intent they'd see a perfectly good work. As a writer/fan I've come to hold the opinion that you can dislike a work for its intent and perspective but you can't properly criticize it if by having the same perspective as the author you'd be able to see a perfectly well-achieved story. Its of course entirely different if you can point to the author poorly playing out their intent/perspective.

Just some of my thoughts of some matter...which don't actually have too much to do with iCarly in the end ^^;
