Driven Wild for Fifteen Years

Quinn is eagerly reading Kara Wild's fan-fiction series the Driven Wild Universe, which premiered on this day in 1999. Quinn--for those unfamiliar with the series--is a major focus in the stories, so it's no wonder she's suddenly so interested in reading.

Speed Demons in Space!

On this day only 36 years ago, two crewmen from Apollo 16 landed on the moon. The astronauts used a lunar rover during their exploration and achieved a land speed record (on the moon) of 11 mph (18 kph), which is still the fastest that any wheeled vehicle has gone on that body. It was a guy thing.

A pic of glasses-wearing Quinn from Kara Wild's Driven Wild Universe has been added to an earlier post. Kinda fun to modify that one basic picture of her.

Time for bed. Peace out, more after the sun comes up.

The World Through Rose-Colored Lenses

This is a special day in Daria fandom. Nine years ago today, Kara Wild completed the first story in her Driven Wild Universe: "Rose-Colored Lenses." Quinn Morgendorffer is forced to get glasses, and things are never the same again. Congratulations to Kara, and bless us all!

Speaking of DWU, Kara noticed a brief tip of the hat to a DWU fanfic she wrote, "Cheered Down," in this movie clip by famed fan artist S.C. See if you can find it.

I still do not have my computer back. @$%#@$%!!

More later, whenever.

LATE ADD: I made a new Quinn picture!
