Throughout the years, ''Daria'' fans have been interacting online (see Fan Communication). This is where most of the interaction takes place. However, as time went by, several fans have gotten together in real life (see Dariacons). Fans have found very interesting ways to express their devotion for the show, from art to essays (see Fan Art, Fan Essays). While some of the art and writing are plain and simple, others are outstanding and shine for their originality. |

Most of the times, fanart comes along with the fanfic. Different styles and genres can also be found in Daria fanart, such as scenes of a specific fanfic, new characters introduced in fanfics, alteregos, erotic art, or simply random situations. Some drawings stay as close to the form and expressions of the characters of the show, whereas others portray the characters rather differently, using styles such as [[anime]] or computer style; sometimes, they don't even look like themselves. |

Fanart artists usually have to fight for recognition, and it has been said that Daria websites do not put emphasis on art as much as they do on fanfiction. Nowadays, Glitter Berries is considered the largest host of fanart among Daria websites. (See Fan Websites) |

==Fan essays== |

Essays are generally a form of expression in Daria fandom. They cover different aspects of the show, fandom, media, etc. Essays are written to explain or elaborate a point that the author feels was not developed on the show, but cannot be adequately fleshed out in a fanfic. |

Essays about the show question aspects such as past, present and future of the characters, personalities, relationships, citizens of Lawndale, episodes, movies and the direction the show has taken throughout the seasons, among others. Fandom essays are mostly about issues such as writing fan fiction, fan art, message boards, accusations against the Daria fan community and controversy inside the fandom. |

The majority of essays that exist in the Daria community were written during the original run of the series, particularly the first two seasons. Since the show went off the air on MTV, essay writing has been severely curtailed, with output reduced to a mere trickle. Increasingly, this wiki has superseded essays as a method of disseminating information regarding the show and its fandom. |
