• Cinema Verite (Daria and the Gang Thread), by Roentgen (COMPLETE!): "Upchuck didn't understand, so O'Neill continued. 'A fifteen second loop of Tiffany Blum-Deckler applying mascara, repeated over and over for an hour is not a movie.' 'Mr. O'Neill...that's not a loop repeated over and over.'"


• Daria meets ME, by Roentgen (parts 1 - 3): "To be blunt, I never liked the inhabitants of Lawndale that much. It was a white-bread middle class community.

• Dylan, by J-D (part 17b): "The awkwardness was broken up by Kris’s interruption to draw attention to a rusty old junker pulling up. 'He doesn't care how he looks.' As the driver emerged, Dylan said, 'Uncle Andy?'"


• The Execution (Iron Chef: Throughout The Ages), by Gnome (COMPLETE!): "'And what would be the purpose of this little midnight stroll?' asked Daria as she folded her arms. The knight smiled without mirth and backhanded her with his gauntlet backed hands. He motioned to his followers, and two of them roughly grabbed the stunned woman and half walked, half dragged her, to the cathedral."



• Heroes and Villains Part One: The Incident, by Reven384 (part 5): "Jane walked home thinking about all that had happened. She was worried about Daria. The girl had basically lost her entire family in one night. Daria was holding it together, but she knew her friend was repressing real bad and once the dam bust some needed to be there."


• Jodie and the Hot Tub (Scenes no Daria fic should have:Stupid, Silly and Disturbing), by Shiva (COMPLETE!): "'Hmmm...' Jodie moaned as she slid into the bubbling hot tub, her nude form relishing the frothing liquid, 'This is what I needed.'" (Continued by Silver)

Senior year...' and here she clapped her hands together with a thunderous force, 'YOLO.'"


• Tiffanyzilla (Scenes no Daria fic should have:Stupid, Silly and Disturbing), by Shiva (COMPLETE!): "Daria and Jane watch the news, regular not Sick Sad, and it's very watchable since it was a live feed of a 65 and a half foot tall Tiffany Blum-Deckler rampaging through downtown Tokyo, shooting fireballs out of her mouth, and destroying buildings with flicks of her hands."


• A Universal History of Annoyance: The Twice-Unmarried Empress, Theodora (Iron Chef: Throughout The Ages), by welltemperedclavier (COMPLETE!): "The woman of whom I now write is a different Theodora, born into the purple as the youngest daughter of Constantine VIII. Little is written of this Theodora’s earliest days, the historians seeing only her father’s endless furies, a man forever shadowed by emperors greater than he." (Part 2) (Part 3)


• Unnamed story (Iron Chef: The Sheldon Quotation Theorem), by Staren (COMPLETE!): "Ted walked up while Daria was in the middle of sorting out economics worksheets when he came up, so she could be forgiven for the spectacular mass of papers that found there way on the floor when she processed what he asked."



• Unnamed story (Iron Chef: Throughout The Ages), by Demon-Something (COMPLETE!): "An abrupt ring of a cheap cell-phone jolted Daria Morgendorffer from a nice enough sleep.
