It's been a while since we've talked about Bob, one of the background characters, but I can now officially tell you more about him: he smokes and drinks.Yes, in "Jane's Addition," Bob is seen lighting up a cigarette (tobacco, I assume) and drinking (alcohol, I assume) at a bar where Mystik Spiral is playing, even though he is in 11th grade at Lawndale High. I still think he's a punk wrestler/ weightlifter. Your mileage may vary. For more on Bob, click the tiny label "bob" below.
Do you get kind of a film noir vibe from this guy? Something kind of dark and eerie and mysterious, something unexpected. Has anyone used him in fanfic? He's a great blank slate. I have a pic of his car somewhere from "The Invitation," will post it later.
Lawndale Online is still down. Damn.
While over at DariaWiki, I started thinking that there weren't near enough Daria Universes on the Daria Multiverse page. Can you think of more to add? I know some good ones have been left out. Let's make this page the longest one ever!
FF.net
- Meet the Monster, by medea42 (COMPLETE!): Reads like the show. Loved Trent's method of making Quinn go away. Brilliant.
- The Young Switcheroo, by Smileyfax (Part 8): We continue through the first season of this wild, switched-around world, now at "Cafe Disaffecto." And we learn who the thief was! And more!
PPMB
- She Knows Not What She Does, by psychotol (COMPLETE!): Daria's loathsome new career as a telemarketer proves to have an unexpected side benefit.
SFMB
- In the Midnight Hour, by Gum Wars (COMPLETE!): You know, I wasn't sure whether to post this one, but I figured hey, it's there, you may as well look at it.

Actually in Esteem Roller "Bob" was the character Float.
Well, see, you shoulda called him Bob.
(Sorry, I loved "Esteem Roller," should have remembered him there.)
I don't think I ever described him. He was just the character in my head for Float as I wrote it.
Hey I just checked out the Dariawiki and found out that Esteem Roller counts as a novel.
Cool.
You were right to post the link to "In the Midnight Hour". It has a certain 'je ne sais quoi' that qualifies it for that very special award carved from a single block of cubic zirconia: The Ianthe Sena Ronin
Award. I have no doubt the Academy will give it the most serious consideration, especially if Gum Wars posts appropriate art work to give the story that extra dimension...
