Lost Summer

The period between the end of Daria Morgendorffer's sophomore year at Lawndale High and the start of her junior year, about which little was shown on the Daria TV series (hence the name). It is believed that "Road Worrier" and possibly "The Teachings of Don Jake" took place then, as episodes were not shown in chronological order for Daria's school year, but this is not certain.

Richard Lobinske wrote a series of stories about this period called First Summer, but it is otherwise rare to see fanfic set in this period, which is another reason why it is called the "lost" summer. The Angst Guy's "Forgotten but not Gone" also takes place at this time. The most recent example is "But What About the Baby (Sitter)?!" by Kristen Bealer.
