Crossover

A Daria fanfic or fan art that mixes canon Daria elements (characters, settings, plots, etc.) with those from another fictional work entirely, permitting interaction between those elements. The non-Daria work might be a story, novel, movie, computer game, or other media, such as the Marvel Universe, the Simpsons TV show, or the movie Seven Days.

For variations on this concept, see Dariaverse Crossover and reality crossover. A crossover involving three or more non-Daria works is sometimes called a megacrossover (per the Fanfiction Glossary).



Daria Crossed-over in Other Fandoms
Daria and company have appeared in a number of places as crossover characters in works for other fandoms, including Internet comics. Some examples are noted in the Media section of Outpost Daria. Significant appearances in other non-Daria media are given below.

Evil Josh and Billy
A net cartoon by Daria fanfic writer John Berry included a Daria lookalike in an Evil Josh and Billy episode that in part parodied a Daria episode, "The Invitation." The series was earlier noted to have an "evil Tom Sloane" lookalike as well. The Daria episode in question was "Evil Josh and Billy, Episode 2: Party at JC's," which includes a scene of Daria being caught by police drinking at a party.

Drawn Together
In October 2007, Daria fans were astonished to see what appeared to be a crossover using Daria on the Comedy Central TV show, Drawn Together (episode 30: "Lost in Parking Space, Part Two"). The appearance was all the more shocking as Daria was a mutilated victim in a Hostel parody. "I blame men," was her monotone comment after having a nail driven into her right eye, a remark many fans felt was rather out of character for her. This appearance received much coverage on PPMB and was also mentioned in several Daria fanfics.
