Daria 2007: The Girl From Hope

Daria 2007: The Girl From Hope is a story written by The Angst Guy. The premise of the story is two-fold: that the story makes use of the changes in culture, technology and history that have occurred since Daria went off the air in 2002 (setting the story in the present-day of 2007), and that Daria and Jane are considered virtual delinquents, with Daria transferring to Lawndale High from Hope High School instead of Highland High School.

Hope High School was a school supposedly more dangerous than Highland High School. In the show Beavis and Butt-head an angry Coach Buzzcut once threatened to send the two to Hope High School, where they would supposedly "get their asses kicked" on a regular basis. In this story, Daria's sarcastic nature inadvertantly leads to a tragedy that gets her sent to Hope High School.
