So it took me far too long to get around to doing this but. So, Sam (
hurtingzeebo) and Freddie (
randomspanish) are internet stars, from the hit teenie-bopper web comedy sketch show iCarly! And they'd love to help your character become one, too!
Okay, so Sam wants to do so via public humiliation. That's just how she rolls.
What is iCarly?
iCarly is the web series put together by Sam, Freddie, and their friend Carly back in Seattle, devoted to putting on all the stuff that kids want to see that adults generally don't approve of. You know, like awesome talents like playing the trombone while bouncing up and down on a pogo stick, or ridiculous dance steps. The show is primarily made up of Sam and Carly on camera doing very random things, and includes opportunities for the viewing audience to submit ideas and vote on what they want to see in the next episode.
iCarly is extremely popular in Sam and Freddie's universe, with appeal that manages to span demographics and gather rampant fanage from folks in multitudinous walks of life. Their fandom is large and vocal enough to include shipwars. Canonically.
Anyway. So. Web variety show, with two of the stars (well, Sam would say one star and one tech nub) in attendance right here in Fandom. Fun for everybody!
iCarly in Fandom
So, as you might have seen, Sam and Freddie are continuing to work on iCarly on a transcontinental (and transdimensional) basis, even though Carly stayed behind in Seattle with her brother and the iCarly studio. While some weeks may get handwaved, Freddie-mun and I have determined that this is something that Sam and Freddie will try their damnedest to get done every Friday, icly, barring unforeseen invasions or such the like.
You can see an example of what these broadcasts might look like
here.
The posts for the broadcasts will not always be in the same place (we at least may want to get out into town to let people other than students wander through), and don't have to be posted around the same time of day, what with varied time zones and schedules of the players round about. We would really like to open iCarly guestage up to loads of Fandom characters. As you can see in the post I linked above, people can wander in and get roped into joining the fun! This can be preplanned or spontaneous, set up in character or out of character. Just be aware that odds are, it will be very, very random. And potentially traumatizing, should Freddie someday fail to talk Sam out of trying to bring back the Bikini Dog Food Fight.
What might a person do on iCarly? It could be anything! Show off a talent! Wear a random costume! Perform in a
pathetic play! Randomly dance! Listen to a ghost story told by a
bra! Play a game like "Hey, what am I sitting on?" Show off a prank you played on a friend! Challenge someone to a meatball fight (please note, the producers of iCarly ware not liable for any loss in a meatball fight due to Sam eating all of the ammunition)!
The possibilities are endless. I only wish I could find better quality clips on YouTube to show you all more examples.
So, how do you get involved then? Simple! You can either sign up here, contact me (
hurtingzeebo) or Freddie-mun (
randomspanish) via your method of choice, or just find a fun spot in a broadcast post to wander into.
