I Think She Might Die of Dysentery

Helen is ready to set off for the wild and untamed unknown for Pioneer Day, but I hope she packed her cell phone. I don't think she'll get far with a chicken and a single wheel, after all. At the very least she'll want a few packages of frozen lasagna to eat along the way.

I hope Quinn and Daria find time to celebrate Cousins Day, either by refusing to acknowledge each other as sisters or reaching out to Erin to give her some much-needed support. Maybe they can invite her to watch Gone With the Wind with them!

Eleven years ago today, CollegeHumor posted their "Daria: High School Reunion" trailer for a hypothetical live-action Daria movie. I'm still sad that it wasn't real, but it was fun to watch!

Fanfic Update!

• The Betrothed, by easmith (part 26): "As it turned out, both the Reverent and Maggie were useless with computers; though they were not unknown at Tíra, the Reverent’s preferences had always leaned towards more ancient methods of recording and retrieving knowledge, and Maggie as a humble kitchen maid had never been granted access."


• The Future Involves Some Internet Drama and Lawsuits (Scenes no Daria fanfic should have), by shiva (COMPLETE!): "'This is your favorite lawyer, Jodie Mackenze otherwise known on the internet as the LegalCynic!'"


• Harry Potter Morgendorffer, by Meester_Lee (part 39): "It took several weeks, but Daria thought she was beginning to adjust to the fact that she was a witch."


• Heavenly wine and roses, by riotsquirrrl (part 2): "'Come on, Daria, I can't keep the Sloanes waiting,' Helen calls from the foyer."


• Mega Mall Mega Problems, by cfardell_Brenorenz29 (COMPLETE!): "'Quinn?' Xavier asked. 'Yes?' Quinn asked. 'You think your sister and Brittany...?' 'Maybe,' Quinn answered with a giggle. 'It’ll be fine.'"


• Prehistoric Giant Dragonflies (Remix), by Blake C Stacey (BlakeStacey) (COMPLETE!): "The skirt, Genevieve decided, was not her. She was not a skirt person, and this one in particular made her realize just how off the wrong length could actually look."


• Summer's Here, Daria!, by janendaria4life (COMPLETE!): "Jane: (through her perspective, a camera hanging around her neck, bobbing against her chest as she walks, looking down at her boots, entering Lawndale)"


• Tomorrow Never Dyes (Remix), by Blake C Stacey (BlakeStacey) (COMPLETE!): "The island was fantastic, just as Trent and Qiana had promised."
