That's One Way to Get Jodie to Pay Attention to Him!


Happy birthday to Evel Knievel, the late daredevil, who was born on this day in 1938. Mack's letting out his inner adrenaline junkie over there on the left, and let's all hope he has better luck on that motorcycle than Kevin did on his.

This is also Mike Judge's birthday. This is an important one for fandom, because without Mike Judge there would be no Beavis and Butt-head, and with no Beavis and Butt-head, there would be no Daria! And with no Daria, there would be no fandom and we would all be let loose upon the world. Scary thought, that.

Fanfic Update!
  • The Author as a Lesbian, by DeacBlue (part 11): "Daria put her hands on her knees. 'Hold it, you didn't hear my excuse. I'm someone who doesn't want to get injured doing exercises that I'm not used to while you spend your time coaching cheerleaders. Now you can have us make up this class after school, but remember, that'll take up your time as well, and if you do that, I'm going to my mom, the lawyer, and we will go through meeting after hearing after discussion, all of which will take your time away from you, and at the end of, you will still lose. Now, how much time do you want to invest, Ms. Morris?'"

  • The Beginning of Our History , by ST91 (part 5): "'Exactly, we can take the exam tomorrow and take away the thought of spending another minute in there' 'Perfect, where do you keep the answers?' 'At my house' 'Good then let's go , what are we waiting for?'"

  • Daria is Raven's Apprentice, by project pegasus: "Beast Boy: (to himself) The coast is clear except for these Romans zebras. Seems legit. (Beast Boy opens the exit and peers outside cautiously. From behind, one of the zebras suddenly rears up on its hind legs and plunges a hunting knife into one of Beast Boy’s kidneys.) Zebra #1: (as she is shanking Beast Boy) Talk’s cheap, motherf***er!"

  • A Few Years Difference, by Vlora (part 10): "As the Holy Harpies announced they were taking a break, the crowd slowly split off into teens trying to score alcohol, and other teens sneaking out to smoke. Monique practically bounced towards them, her hair not moving an inch. 'Daria! It's so awesome to see you!' 'Yeah, because we're totally not here.' Nick laughed, ducking a little. Monique had lunged across to hug Daria, who was entirely surprised by how eager the other girl was. 'Hi Monique.'"

  • A Fistful of Scarletts, by Aloysius (part 3): "Just then, two smaller flashes lit up the room and the three people (plus the mouse) turned to see two redheaded fairies suddenly flying above the buffet table. One was dressed in clothing similar to the first two Scarletts, and even wore an ankh necklace, but the other was dressed in white and revealing clothing and wore an anarchy symbol on a necklace. Both held smaller versions of the invitation card. 'Oh, crap,' the pregnant Scarlett said."

  • God Save The Esteem ep36: Occupational Hazard, by Charles RB (part 1): "There was a pointed cough; Michelle Landon, noted executive and humourless being composed of pure annoyed, had overheard the conversation. 'I could not help overhearing. And I wanted to join in. One of the local flower shops has gone punk these days, for god’s sake! Is it too much to ask that we have somewhere to get away from the riff-raff?!' A waitress chose that moment to walk past, and all three rich people glared at her suspiciously."

  • Her Farewell (IC : Jane's Wrath ...... and also Trent), by OverlordMikey (COMPLETE!): "Amanda was still attached to the machines; her family knew there wasn’t much time. The aging Vincent; hair almost completely grey, sat by his wife’s bedside talking to her about all the places they had visited; apart and separate, and all the places they wanted to visit that they wouldn’t get to. Hoping that his words might sooth her before they pulled the plug and officially allowed her to drift away. He did his best to hold back his tears, but they where still flowing."

  • The Lane That Would Never Return (IC : Jane's Wrath ...... and also Trent), by LadieT (COMPLETE!): "The next morning while Jane was in the shower, she heard the sound of the front door opening and closing several times. Much to her shock, her parents were home and looking for her. She quickly got dressed and headed downstairs. 'We finally finished etching several Mayan temple carvings how is school going, Jane?' Amanda asked. Vincent followed, 'Yeah, any idea of where you want to go to college? You know we have a fund set up for you so you can take your pick.'"

  • Rude Awakening Ep.9: Join The Club by DIsaac (part 6): "QUINN: I think you are trying to start something, Sandi. SANDI: Not of the sort. I can read you well. I spent a lot time with you in High school to know your tendencies especially with pink and trying to keep things simple. I know you well enough to know there is something wrong. What is wrong? QUINN: What I'm about to say is going to shock you. I'm not proud about it - in fact I'm rightfully embarrassed by this. SANDI: It be can't something bad? I mean it's OK to wear UGG boots even though they been out of style for two years."

  • ST: A V-mail of Significance (Non Daria), by cfardell_Brenorenz29: "'Any other time, you would be welcome. However I received a message from an old school friend, just before I went on shift. I would like to view it alone. That is, if you don’t mind?' Samuel said. He was fidgeting. He would normally be happy to have Yolanda in his quarters for a chat, as the friends they were. But he really wanted to watch the v-mail he had received by himself."

  • Unnamed story (Iron Chef: A Roll of the Die), by Roentgen (parts 3 and 4): "Bret Strand smiled. 'Hey...aren't you...Jane Lane?' 'Hmm. Let me think about it. I have answered to that name to the authorities.' 'Cool. You were in track!' 'Wow. You remember that'" Jane smiled, wishing that she had her lipstick on." (Part 4)

  • Unnamed story (Iron Chef: Occupy Lawndale), by Dervish: "There was a knock at the door. Both froze and fear flashed across both their faces. Sighing, Helen smoothed her clothes down as she went to the door while Quinn suddenly regained an intense interest in her homework. She opened it with a false smile, though couldn't keep the look of fear from her eyes as she saw a half dozen well-armed grim faced deputies in helmets and body armor. 'Hi! How may I help you?' The lead deputy handed her a paper. 'I'm sorry, Mrs. Morgendorffer, but we're here for Daria.'"
