The Angst Guy

Biographical Information
Also known as "TAG." Previously published his Daria stories under his real name from April 2002 until October 2004; he ceased doing so for personal reasons. One of the very few members of the Daria fan community who is a published author of fiction.

Declared by Brother Grimace to be pre-eminent among the Angst Lords.

Though known primarily as an angst writer, TAG's work runs the gamut of moods and styles, from broad comedy (The Thong Remains the Same) to sci-fi adventure (Drive) to songfic (The Ballad of Stacy Rowe) to fantasy (Scarlett) to almost everything in between.

Penguins
There is a running joke at the forums that TAG regularly engages in sex acts with penguins. In a surprising display of good nature at such a crude insinuation, he plays along with these jokes. [''They're consenting adults! --TAG'']

Ann Coulter
TAG has a horror of the right-wing commentator Ann Coulter. Fellow author Dervish kids him about this on the Daria message boards regularly.
