* Recommended by Ranchoth
* ''Synopsis'':The largest, oldest surviving Daria fansite online. With information about the show, characters, episodes (with transcripts), and a good deal of fanfic and fanart.
[https://web.archive.org/web/20131102191916/http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page The Daria Wiki]
* Recommended by Ranchoth
* ''Synopsis'': Only a few years old, the Daria Wiki contains quite a bit of
* ''Comments'': To put it another way, the fandom is a generally very nice, [[Mad Artist|very creative]], very bright, and [[The Law of Fan Jackassery|fairly ''small'' amount of people]], who're all fans of a semi-cult TV show, who've stuck around for more than a decade. The chances there ''weren't'' going to be multi-season [[Continuation]], spinoff, and crossover fics [[Go Mad from the Revelation|detailed like the Sistine Chapel]] is almost nil. But in a good way, I swear!

* Recommended by Ryan Lohner
* ''Synopsis'': A 22 episode virtual season begun while season three was airing, with ongoing story arcs like Quinn's eyesight declining so she needs glasses, Helen trying to have a closer relationship with her daughters, and Jake and Helen's marriage suffering greater strain than ever before. Also featuring fan art, character bios, and possible story ideas from the DWU.
* ''Comments'': Each episode feels just like the show, with everyone in character and a wonderful balance between jokes and moving personal drama. Though be warned, the author is very much an anti-shipper and even brings this up herself in a couple episode summaries.

Line 30:
* ''Synopsis'': One of the most active locations in the fandom, there is new fan fiction posted daily.
* ''Comments'': This site is essentially Home Base for Daria fan fiction, and most of the fandom's authors post here on a regular basis.

''Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.''

* Recommended by Robert
* ''Synopsis'':
* ''Comments'': An effective, and somewhat novel, use of [[A Christmas Carol|the trope]]. Greed is not the only vice.
''[http://addventure.bast-enterprises.de/frecent.php?tag=Misery+Chick%2C+Pig-Tailed+Warrior Misery Chick, Pig-Tailed Warrior]'' by Cypher3au (Crossover)▼
* ''Synopsis'': ''Misery Chick, Pig-Tailed Warrior'' features an amnesiac [[Ranma ½|Ranma Saotome]] sent to Lawndale by an enigmatic being to rest for unknown reasons.▼
* ''Comments'': Short but Funny, and not a pairing in sight (thankfully). Just got updated after about two years.▼

▲''[http://www.outpost-daria.com/fanfic_series_tls.html The Lost Seasons]'' by C.E. Forman
* Recommended by Tarvok
* ''Synopsis'': A series of fics that blend so well with the canon, some have been known to misremember events that occur in this series as canonical.
* ''Comments'': Should this have gone under "Authors and Websites" instead?
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2288975/1/The_Last_Summer The Last Summer]/[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2290047/1/Falling_Into_College_Year_1 Falling Into College Year 1], [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2313463/1/Falling_Into_College_Year_2 Year 2], [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3201819/1/Falling_Into_College_Year_3 Year 3], and [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4328432/1/Falling_Into_College_Year_4 Year 4]'' by Richard Lobinske
Line 61 ⟶ 54:
** Now has a new entry, [http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6193718/1/First_Born First Born].
** Not to cause strife, but much of this, particularly when it's not about Daria, tends to ramble and get really boring. Far too much time is spent on flat, boring characters like the cat.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4708907/1/Blood_Sweat_and_Cheers Blood, Sweat, and Cheers]'' by Kristen Bealer
Line 66 ⟶ 60:
* ''Synopsis'': At the end of "The F Word" Jane decides to keep her conventional image and join the cheerleaders, creating a huge rift between her and Daria. And now that she's off the squad for good, Brittany displays some [[Hidden Depths]] and becomes Daria's new best friend.
* ''Comments'': A sometimes painful but always fascinating AU with great alternate takes on the rest of season four following "The F Word."
''Turnabout Confusion'' by Dennis
Line 72 ⟶ 67:
* ''Synopsis'': Daria and Quinn bet that they can survive in each other's worlds for a week. Little do they know that they'll turn Lawndale High upside down in the process, bringing out the [[Magnificent Bastard]] in some of their classmates and ultimately causing an epic [[Gambit Pileup]] to determine the most popular girls in school.
* ''Comments'': If the creators of ''[[Death Note]]'' had made ''Daria'', it would probably be like this. The constantly mutating power struggle and Quinn and Daria's attempts to fix it are an incredible look at the [[Serious Business]] of high school popularity, all fitting surprisingly well into the show as we know it.
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5434450/1/Finn_Morgendorffer Finn Morgendorffer]'' by HolyGrail2007
Line 78 ⟶ 74:
* ''Comments'': It was very fresh and felt a lot like the canon series, with interesting relationship dynamics, especially in the later chapters.
''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150107203750/http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=God_Save_The_Esteem God Save The Esteem]'' by Charles RB
* Recommended by Excellence Of Execution
* ''Synopsis'': You know how Helen and Jake were once hippies? Now imagine that, due to a shift forward in time to 2010, they were punks instead, never grew out of it and Quinn was a punk as well? A unique re-interpretation of the series crossing multiple genres.
Line 84 ⟶ 81:
** This one can get a bit weird as it's clearly written by a Brit, given the abundant use of "Mum" and "Maths class." Though if you're able to get past that, it's definitely worth it. Plus, easily the best version of Stacy I've ever seen.
** [[God Save the Esteem|Now has its own page]].
''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2057/1/Smoke_and_Ashes Smoke and Ashes]'' by Yui Daoren.
Line 90 ⟶ 88:
* ''Comments'': This story takes a realistic approach and has a serious tone. It focuses on the way the characters deal with a traumatic event, keeping them IC.
''[https://web.archive.org/web/20150108114620/http://www.dariawiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Lawndale_Fighting_Championship Lawndale Fighting Championship]'' by The Excellent S
* Recommended by C 2
* ''Synopsis'': The main cast clash in the [[Professional Wrestling]] ring (unlike the event the title is derived from). The adults serve as announcers and referees. Not a Crossover since no one from the world of wrestling appears.
* ''Comments'': This series has a lot of fun with wrestling's tropes, and there is a good attempt to maintain a sense of canon.
''[
* Recommended by Eegah
* ''Synopsis'': A [[Setting Update]] to 2005, in which Quinn has become a computer and anime geek. But she still manages to be just as popular as in canon, which irritates Sandi even more than Daria.
* ''Comments'': The author's aversion to contractions can get annoying, but there's some great use of minor characters, and Quinn and Sandi's adversarial relationship is a lot of fun.
== [[Shipping|Shipping Fics]] ==
Line 109 ⟶ 110:
* ''Comments'': An intelligent and deftly sweet romantic variation on the TV series.
** I hate for people to think of me as contradictory, but when the story got to about the third season, John started to get on my nerves and seem like a total Stu. He somehow manages to avoid all the bad things that happen to Jane AND remove most of the bad things that happened to Daria, completely removing the point of a great deal of chapters.
''[http://www.sh33pie.com/pc/ The Passion Club]'' by Gystex
Line 115 ⟶ 117:
* ''Synopsis'': Sandi reveals her real reason for being so hostile towards Quinn, and after a lot of soul-searching on Quinn's part they begin a relationship. But the drama doesn't end there, and soon the two are embroiled in a web of secrets, lies and angst.
* ''Comments'': An amazing epic that mixes character development with romance, tension and hot sex. It's quite a ride, but well worth the trip in the end. The author also began a sequel, which unfortunately seems to have been abandoned.
== Crossovers ==
Line 121 ⟶ 124:
* ''Synopsis'': Due to an error by Green Lantern John Stewart, his power ring goes out and recruits Daria as Sector 2814's new Green Lantern.
* ''Comments'': This is a fun story with Daria becoming a superhero in a surprisingly creditable fashion with some playful prodding by Jane. The ''Daria'' and ''[[Justice League]]'' characters alternate chapters until they are brought together for an awesome conclusion for anyone who ever dreamed of becoming a superhero.

Line 126 ⟶ 130:
* ''Synopsis'': Daria finds out that her biological father is [[Doctor Doom]], and he is calling her to Latveria to become his heir.
* ''Comments'': Although how the story gets Tom out of the way is annoying, the series quickly more than recovers with a neat story of Daria becoming a princess and then Queen of Latveria, taking on her responsibilities and her interactions with the MU's superhero community her way.
''[http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=32760 Daria 40k: Is It The Grim Darkness Of The Far Future, Yet?]'' by RX-87 (crossover with ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'').
* Recommended by fhtagn
* ''Synopsis'': The cast of Daria ([[Beavis and
* ''Comments'': Utterly hilarious, though it does require a working knowledge of both the 40k and MTV Animation-verses to really appreciate. The characterizations are spot-on almost to a fault (Jane's libido does veer uncomfortably close to OOC (and Fluff-inaccuracy) once or twice, but it does get an amusing justification towards the end).

* ''Synopsis'':
* ''Comments'': Well written, and implements a crossover by way of a device that I don't think I've ever seen before.
