Phooooone Hooooooome?

Today is Extraterrestrial Abductions Day, so Artie had better beware! Watch out for any Tiffany aliens today, because they're bound to take you to their fashionable spaceships and make you over by force. Your only hope is to have plenty of shiny surfaces available to distract them with.

Fanfic Update!

• After the Disaster 2 :: Esteemers, by Fhujeth_x (COMPLETE!): "'What does the Fashion Club do...?' Sandi thought for a moment and then immediately looked at Stacy. 'Stacy?' Truth be told, Sandi had no idea what the did, except enforce good fashion rules around the school, to keep up with the hopping 90s trends."


• After the Disaster 2 :: The Invitation, by Fhujeth_x (part 1): "'I cannot believe it.' Sandi glanced towards Tiffany while she walked down the street towards her house, 'Joey, Jeffy, AND Ja-- That other kid are all freaking out about Quinn.' She rolled her eyes, 'I mean, Tiffany. Quinn is new. She has like... new everything, you know?'"


• Apocalyptic Daria: Fence Builders Corps, by Doggieboy (prologue): "Doug smiled, too, and chuckled, 'We have six to seven miles of fence to put up before...'

• Clique Swap, by psychotol (parts 20 and 21): "Scene: Same, only much later, Nallok is holding two of the cases full of credits and is shaking Quinn’s hand.

Quinn: 'Okay, let’s get Tiffany back here and inject ourselves, then we can start refining our very own force powers.'" (Part 21)


• Daria - Double Down, by neonhomer (part 32): "'Hey you two... wait up!' Came Tilly’s voice from behind. 'Hurry up slow poke.' Said Jane, as she paused to wait. Daria kept walking. Tilly picked up the pace, breaking into a run to catch up. 'What’s with her?' 'She’s tired of waiting.' Said Jane. She waited for Tilly to catch up, and then continued to walk. 'On what?' asked Tilly. 'You I guess.' Said Jane."


• Disconnect the Dots, by InvisibleDan (parts 1 and 2): "The first meeting of my undergraduate creative writing class of the semester went as per usual. We were scheduled to meet only once a week, for three hours on Thursday afternoons, and I had to steel myself with coffee and chocolate to make it through. I sat down, unpacked my tote bag full of notebooks, note pads, and papers, and cleared my throat to begin." (Part 2)


• A Distant Lawndale, by Arena del Sur (part 7): "I went upstairs. Once back at my room I remained in the dark, looking through a window. I was ashamed. How could I have forgotten the tragedy that soon my family is going to suffer, the imminent failure of my father...?"


• Dylan, by J-D (part 2c): "He passed near Simon Griffith standing in the middle of the room talking with a couple of other jocks from the swim team, one who looked East Asian and another a tall blond with a buzz-cut. They were scanning the room, too, and also pointing. Rod faded back against the wall of the room just behind their line of sight. 'Okay, I'll give her seven and a half out of ten, but that's the limit', the tall blond was saying. 'But look at her over there! Definitely at least a nine, especially if she keeps it up with that wiggle.'"


• God Save The Esteem ep41: Is It Fun Yet?, by Charles RB (part 3): "'And here we are!' Erin parked the car in a somewhat seedy part of the South Bronx (and being a seedy part of South Bronx is a challenge). 'Aunt Amy said this was the best place to meet her.' Daria looked over at the dirt-brick club, with the sickly neon 'Spanks For The Memories' sign and crude drawing of a woman with a whip."


• Melody Powers, Book 1: "Our Chick in Havana" (Round Robin), by JoeMerl (part 2): "'That Melody Powers has been a thorn in our side for too long,' the Supreme Leader said. 'The Bolsheviks Allied to Destroy Democracy and Institute Evil Socialism will not stand for another blow to our organization. The time has come for Melody Powers to die.' The Supreme Leader pressed a button on the intercom. 'Send them in!'"


• A New World, by breitasparrow (part 2): "After a few more minutes of chatting, they both called it a night after Jane told him she had to get up in the morning for an exam. Just as Trent hung up the pay phone, Nick walked up to him with a bummed expression. 'Uh, Trent? We kinda have a problem.'"


• Quinn meets Quinn (Iron Chef: I Met Myself on the Way to the Town Square ...), by cfardell_Brenorenz29 (COMPLETE!): "Quinn knew, however, that it wasn't an echo. 'Who are you?' she asked. 'Who are you?' the other person asked back, with a tinge of fear. This time, Quinn walked in the direction of the voice, perpendicularly to the direction she had been going in. 'I asked first,' Quinn said as the other person came into sight. 'I'm Quinn,' the long haired red head said. 'Golly, her hair is longer than Daria's and Erin's,' Quinn thought. 'Strange, I'm Quinn too,' Quinn said, with a nervous laugh."


• Rude Awakening Mini: The St. Patty Day, by DIsaac (part 4): "@tweetbynumbers (Jane Lane) Listen, amgia how about a couple of shots of Irish whiskey to forget anything basketball...My treat! @MelPowers (Daria Morgendorffer) I see we're using the offical sports drink for writers and artists?

• Sandi :: Well... This Sucks Chapter 12, by Fhujeth_x (parts 1 and 2): "'Tommy Sherman?' Sandi tried really hard to remember that name, something slightly familiar about it. That week Fluffy ate the... 'You're dead...' She looked at him, 'Like, you're that goalpost guy from Lawndale... the one the cheerleaders think haunt the locker rooms or something.' 'Tommy Sherman does a lot more than haunt the girls locker rooms.'" (Part 2)


• Stupid End of Times (Iron Chef: Getting Ready for the End of the World), by Vukodlak (COMPLETE!): "Tom, Daria and Jane watched the news report in horror.

They thought about all the things in life they'd never done what they'd never do with their lives."


• To Annoy a Mockingbird. Chapter 5, by BF110C4 (parts 1 and 2): "In the table that the Fashion Club had reserved for themselves at the beginning of the year Sandi was already waiting for her to start their meeting. 'Secretary Stacy, please annotate the late arrival of the vice-president and the opening of this session of the Fashion Club' It seemed that Sandi wasn't in a good mood. 'Yes, Sandi.' 'Now the first topic of the day is the official inquiry of the Vice-President Quinn in unfashionable activities.'" (Part 2)


• Unnamed story (IC : Daria and the School of Magic), by Ranger Thorne (COMPLETE!): "'Jane,' Daria said as the rock golems reached a hundred yards, 'we're about to get killed.' Jane turned from the solid rock wall long enough to grunt, then turned back to the wall as she pulled out a pencil."


• Unnamed story (Iron Chef: Crazy Pairing Story!), by JoeMerl (COMPLETE!): "'Aw,' St. Patrick's Day said, a ridiculous little simper spreading across his face. 'Ain't she a bonnie lass?'

• Unnamed story (Iron Chef: Getting Ready for the End of the World), by peetz5050 (COMPLETE!): "In the distance toward the town center she saw what she at first took to be a flock of large birds ascending toward the burgeoning clouds now covering half the sky. She then stood stock still for several minutes blinking rapidly and swallowing hard trying to maintain control of herself. Her knees started to tremble and her breakfast threatened to make a reappearance as she realised exactly what she was looking at."


• Unnamed story (Scenes no Daria fanfic should have: Last Friday Night!), by Angelboy (COMPLETE!): "As the aged speakers finally died out, the teacher began to take role, which most of the students ignored for the most part, as they’d been together since Elementary school. It wasn’t until the history teacher reached one name and his eye nearly exploded out of his skull did they pay attention. 'Daria Morgendorffer?'"


• We Only Hurt the Ones We Love (IC Runaway Daria), by deneich (part 9): "'Hello, Davidson residence....hello, is anyone there?' I could hear the stress and apprehension in her voice, I swallowed tried to speak and swallowed again, so much had to be said but all I could manage was to croak out a raspy 'Mom' 'Cassie! Dear Lord, thank you for answering our prayers. Cassie, where are you?'"
