LEAVE IT ALL TO ME. For too long, the dark story of Nora Dershlit has existed in the shadows, a chilling cautionary tale about the dangers of idolizing celebrities a little too much. Today, I pull back the curtain on this deeply disturbed individual. It started innocently enough - just a young girl who really, really loved the web show iCarly -- but Nora's adoration mutated into something much more sinister.

Nora is a chilling embodiment of what can happen when fandom devolves into dangerous, uncontrolled mania. Her cautionary story of obsession, mental illness and depravity must serve as a stark warning about the potential horrors that could be unleashed when someone loses their grip on reality. I'll also talk about how she may have been inspired by another crazed fan character: Annie Wilkes from Stephen King's Misery, and how iCarly predicted future staples of the internet video industry. For internet creators, Nora is just one of many fears we hope to NEVER see come to fruition...
