It's Deva Vu All Over Again!

To celebrate the appearance of a DariaWiki page on Real Person Fiction (as it applies to Daria fanfic) and another page on Reality Crossovers, we bring you Monica and Bill from the previous decade. As always, you are free to add more material for the betterment of all. Dr. Mike, Richard Lobinske, Brother Grimace, and more have done yeoman work adding even more encyclopedic pages.

The Daria Fan Club is up to 695 fans. Weird that I never heard of this spot. Does anyone have any personal experiences to share about this website?

Speaking of that, a website has appeared during my searches called The Daria Fans Press Room, dating from 2006. Anyone know anything about this one? Phone and fax numbers are included. LATE ADD: Ah, found it. This was started by Fr. Martin and is described on PPMB here. I had forgotten all about it. Now also added to the Daria-on-DVD links at left.

Just discovered a plethora of MySpace groups devoted to Daria. One has thousands of members. I will post these in the left column under their own group heading. Wow.

LATE ADD: MySpace Groups now added. Not sure how much use they will be, but hey, it sure can't hurt. Sure are a lot of them. More shortly.

Where, exactly, is the real world?

Among other odd pages in DariaWiki is one on "reality crossovers," fanfics in which Daria or a comrade appears in the real world that we inhabit. If you happen to remember a story like this, by all means add it to the list on that webpage.

I was also mulling over the crossover page, trying to remember other fandom media in which Daria & company appeared. There was a scene in which a cartoon character received an electric shock, causing him to briefly change appearance. A friend laughed at him and said, "You looked just like Daria!" Anyone recall what that was from?

Christ Oliver has used some tiny Daria & Jane cameos in his comics, "Luann" had a strip in which someone was shown with a Daria T-shirt, and a web cartoon about "mall rats" showed the Fashion Club walking by (actually images by the immortal Liliane Grenier, lifted from Outpost Daria). Anyone have knowledge of any other such crossovers using Daria characters?

A lot of short subjects are on my mind tonight. We'll start with these and go on from there. Any help is appreciated. Cheers.
