ICarly/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** The latter was probably the point, considering the title was ''Kelly Cooper: Terrible Movie''. Doesn't make it any less hilarious.

* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The fact that Mrs. Benson had Freddie lowjacked with a GPS locator chip, which she activated in ''iGo To Japan'' (which is also probably the reason behind [[Neural Implanting|Freddie's near-instinctive ability]] to [[Gratuitous Spanish|speak Spanish]].

*** Fortunately, there is also the possibility the police may have caught him (remember, Freddie did get him on camera).

* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: Freddie tells Sam that she has been acting very differently ever since Brad showed up in ''iOMG''.

** There is occasional cracky [[Real Person Fic]] smutfic based around Jerry Trainor, who plays Spencer, being involved as well. Usually with Jennette, who had a crush on him when she was younger. Miranda/Jerry is generally ignored due to Jerry having known Miranda since she was a little kid.

** [[Dan Schneider]] / [[Miranda Cosgrove]]. [[Squick|*shudder*]].

** James Maslow of [[Big Time Rush (TV)|Big Time Rush]] and [[Miranda Cosgrove]] have some supporters. This might be one of the more realistic pairings, since James and Miranda have brought up or had each other brought up in interviews. James once opined that their careers would prevent them from giving each other the attention a relationship deserves.

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: When [http://danwarp.blogspot.com/2010/07/icarly-to-reveal-sams-mom.html Jane Lynch] was announced be playing the role of Sam's mom, unseen before that episode.

* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Sam gets this treatment by a large part of her and the seddie fandom. Quite unusual example because she's not really a villian so much as someone who acts like a [[Jerkass]] most of the time.

* [[Dry Docking]]: Each of the trio get this treatment. Nathan especially, although Miranda and Jenette get their fair share.

* [[Fanon]]: Certain fans gave the main characters their "full names" that are not canon in the show, though part of the fandom have treated those names like [[Ascended Fanon]] in wikis and fanfiction.

** Carly is "Carlotta Taylor Shay", where Taylor is Miranda's actual middle name. Sam called Carly "Carlotta" only in one episode, while Ridgeway teachers and school records always called/listed Carly as 'Carly Shay' and never Carlotta.

** [[I Carly]] vs [[Victorious]]: Stems from [[Victorious]] being the sole reason for [[Schedule Slip]] and the heavy reduction in episode orders. They simply can't use the studio because it's shared with [[Victorious]]. The other major issues are that all the best ideas, comedy and writing is used on [[Victorious]] because [[Dan Schneider]]'s new favourite girl is [[Victoria Justice]].

* ''[[I Carly]]'' having ''[[One Direction]]'' as guest stars caused instant drama, mostly on [[Tumblr]]. One Direction fans derided the ''[[I Carly]]'' fandom as being comprised only of "immature 12 year olds" that would somehow swamp the One Direction fandom, ''[[I Carly]]'' fans shot back with "who are One Direction and why have I never heard of them?", that ''[[I Carly]]'' is far more popular than One Direction ever will be, and reminding the One Direction fans that the majority of it's fandom are much older due to how long the show has gone for as well as having a lot of mature humour.

* [[Fan Wank]]: Copious amounts related to shipping. One large pro-Seddie group [[Shipping Goggles|interpret any form of communication or interaction as supporting their ship.]]

** The "Seddie is going to happen because Dan said so" shippers. See [[Shrug of God]] for why they can never actually back their claim up with any evidence.

* [[The Scrappy]]: Sam reaches this level for many people, with her casual violence, complete inability to learn a lesson. Considering she never gets a comeuppance and may be quite likely to never get one, Sam could be said to be a clear [[Creator's Pet]], following Megan's lead from ''[[Drake and Josh]]''. Every so often, she seems to do something that brings her right back squarely to this trope, such as beating Freddie in ''iMeet Fred'' and the child labour sweatshop in ''iSell Penny Tees''. But never receives any kind of punishment for her actions. The only real difference between Sam and Megan is that Megan doesn't have half the fandom shipping her with one of the other characters.

* [[Ship Mates]]: Despite having a quite small circle of characters to ship, it still has a good amount of [[Ship Mates]].

** Sam/Gibby has increased in popularity as [[Ship Mates]] with Carly/Freddie. It happened as Gibby gained a larger role in the show. In fandom the Sam/Gibby pairing is often used in fic set during high school as an opposite to the Spam ship.

** Cam is rarely paired up with Fencer and vice-versa. [[I Carly]] hasn't picked much of a [[Ho Yay|Maleslash]] fandom but it ''does'' have a large teen and young adult female based [[Les Yay|Femslash]] following. Freddie is often paired with Wendy, Melanie or Shelby.

** Because there is no one "official" fanforum, the war has erupted on [[Live Journal|LJ]], [[Fanfiction.net|FFN]], ((Tumblr)), [[YouTube|YT]], the forums at TV.Com, IMDB and [[Television Without Pity|TWOP]]. A group of Sam/Freddie shippers known as the "Seddie Warriors" are often the cause of these outbreaks. They are lead by an infamous [[Big Name Fan]], are roughly analogous to the Harmonians in the ''[[Harry Potter (Literature)|Harry Potter]]'' fandom, and are vocal and militant about their hatred of <nowiki>**eddie.</nowiki>

*** A [[Word of God]] Creddie [[Ship Tease]] of a Carly/Freddie kiss required efforts to appease Seddie fans by hinting it wasn't what it appeared, destroying the whole point of getting the Creddie shippers excited about it.

*** The next war erupted on LJ, and moved to Twitter and Youtube. The cause? [[Does Not Understand Sarcasm|Seddie]] fans taking seriously an LJ post by Creddie fans where they [[Sarcasm Mode|stole the Seddie ship's ''official colour'', that being purple]].

*** There is an anti-slash faction in the iCarly shipping community, and they target Carly/Sam (Cam) [[Les Yay]] shippers by calling them delusional, implying they are pedophiles, accusing them of destroying the authors work, on some assumption that it isn't 'realistic' if either girl is lesbian or bisexual.

*** [[Word of God]] has decided to sit on the fence due to [[Loony Fan|crazy fans]], and refuses to outright state his real intentions for almost all shippy scenes, and instead gives vague hints designed so people who ship Carly/Freddie or Sam/Freddie can both interpret scenes as supporting their ship. The worst example by far is the end of the ''iSpeed Date'' episode.

*** More [[Word of God]] postings in the days before ''iSaved Your Life'' episode aired appeared to throw doubt on the idea that Carly and Freddie kissed. This seems monumentally stupid, as the actual episode featured much kissing 7 times, including the first one being a 30 minute long make-out session. It also included Creddie development, didn't sink the ship, and implied they would come back to each other in the future. To pacify the Seddie shippers, the [[Word of God]]'s blog for that episode [[Out of Focus|barely mentioned the more significant moments of the episode]] and rather based on interpretations that [[Spotlight-Stealing Squad|Dan's "friends" believe Sam was jealous and might have an ulterior motive in breaking-up the two]].

** Sam's mother Pam in all sorts of Sam involved relationship stories to allow Sam to move in with the Shay's/Benson's. Throwing Sam out for being a lesbian/bisexual. Death due to overdose or alcohol poisoning or drink driving. Throwing Sam out for getting pregnant. Just packing up and leaving Sam behind. Her true neglect being realised, and having Spencer/Carly or Freddie take her in.

*** [[Real Person Fic]] in the fandom has lead to this for the two most public partners for the Nathan/Miranda (Niranda) and Jennette/Nathan (Jathan) ships. The first was Nat Wolff who was the boyfriend of [[Miranda Cosgrove]] when the show started, and a more recent example is Nathan's current girlfriend, Madisen Hill. You don't even have to read a Jathan fanfic to get this idea, just read the comments on any [[YouTube]] video with her and Nathan. It eventually got so bad for Nathan, Madisen and Jennette that eventually the trio blocked a few dozen of the worst pro-Jathan anti-Madisen offenders on [[Twitter]], having Nathan call them out for bullying and harassing them all. Aspects of the Jathan and Seddie fandoms are divided on how 'right' Nathan and Madisen were to do this.

* [[Fanfic Fuel]]: Everyone's parents. Only Mrs. Benson actually appears regularly. Pam Puckett was only referred to until she showed up in a single episode. Spencer and Carly's dad is in the military and only up in one-sided phone conversations. Sam's father, Freddie's father and Carly/Spencer's mother have never even been mentioned.

** Why did Freddie end up in Seattle, or more accurately, why did his mother come to Seattle on her own, with him. Often combined with the father question.

** ''iOMG'': Adding a post-script which solves the cliff-hanger. Freddie gently letting down Sam then going after Carly or having Carly come after him, the same but with Carly going after Sam, or just having Freddie respond to Sam positively.

* [[Good Girls Avoid Abortion]]: Considering the huge amount of Sam gets pregnant stories, finding a story where Sam ''does'' have an abortion is damn near impossible if not actually impossible.

* [[Hypothetical Casting]]: [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6906423/1/iCarlys_Father The iCarly's Father] series of related stories has the hypothetical casting of [[Stargate Atlantis|Joe Flanigan]] as the adult Steven Shay, and [[Ariana Grande]] with her natural brunette hair colour as Taylor Dorfman in flashbacks set during her and Steven Shay's romance during high school. The hypothetical resemblance between Taylor and Cat Valentine (Ariana's redhaired character on [[Victorious]]) is brought up when Steven meets Cat for the first time. This is not by any means the only story to use hypothetical casting either.

* [[Intimate Psychotherapy]]: Issues involving character deaths, being dumped by the other part of the trio, being abandoned by their parents, any of these can be solved in the arms of their love interest.

* [[I Suck At Summaries]]: Far too common.

* [[Kid Fic]]: There are a handful of people who write nothing but this.

* [[Kink Meme]]: Yes, cutie pie Carly, adorable nerd Freddie Benson, porn star Spencer and insatiable Sam feature in their very own [http://community.livejournal.com/caps_nevelocity/7881.html kink meme.] There is also a general "Tweendom" one, [http://community.livejournal.com/tweendom_anon/ which has been open for much longer which covers Disney, Nick, other tweenish fandoms as well as RPF, and has quite a few iCarly fics written for it.] Although the specific one died on arrival, the general one lasted quite some time.
