Half Price Candy Sounds Good To Me!


Don't look now, Daria, but you're about to involuntarily celebrate Singles Awareness Day. If it's any comfort, it won't be long before she and Tom make Jane celebrate Singles Awareness Day.

Honestly, I think Daria would be better off taking her own advice from "What I Think About Valentine's Day," which appeared in the Huffington Post on this day in 2012. That is, she should go get herself some of that sweet discounted chocolate.

On this day in 1999, "Daria Day 99" aired on MTV to kick off the third season. I don't think there was anything about dating or chocolate involved, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there about the event, so who knows?

Fanfic Update!
  • Avatar The Drama of Daria, by psychotol (part 12): "'Barch?' The science teacher turned around to see Daria stood behind her in the hallway as students walked past them to their classes holding a clamp folder and a large ziplock bag containing the envelope her homework assignment was in with appropriate hazard warnings on it."

  • The Betrothed, by easmith (parts 11 and 12): "Cynthia lay wide awake in her small, solitary room down in the Depths. She could not have guessed the hour, unaware even if the Sun had yet managed to rise or if the outer world still slumbered in darkness." (Part 12)

  • Complex College Mating Rituals as a Distraction from the Brutality of Boston Winter, by elle_stone (COMPLETE!): "'Complex college mating rituals as a distraction from the brutality of Boston winter,' Daria answers."

  • Southern Fried Carbones, by wilddogjj (COMPLETE!): "Quinn, her husband and their kids are in New Orleans for Mardi Gras."

  • Spider Quinn 06: The Lawndale Files, by cfardellbrenorenz29 (COMPLETE!): "Helen opened the door. 'Hello, Elisabeth. Stacy will be down shortly.'"

  • This is Not America, by ladyevil (part 5): "'Looks like they’ve split up.' Daria noted. 'Darn.' Jane said. 'That means we can’t watch them.'"

  • Titanic - A True Story, by Sheila Wisz Ellayn (parts 24 - 26): "So far, everyone kept following orders and the crazy situation still remained largely under control." (Part 25) (Part 26)

Ain’t no way a Daria fansite is still being updated! It’s a shame Outpost and other sites are down.
I’m relatively new myself, finished it in the mid 2010s the first time, and I’m on a second marathon right now. It’s nice to see other people still into the show.

Though Outpost Daria Reborn isn’t being updated anymore either, unfortunately.
