Melody Powers in Fanfiction
Having Daria write Melody Powers stories has become a staple in fanfiction writing. Galen Hardesty probably gave the best rendition with "Blood Oath of Patriots" and "Blood Oath of Patriots II: By Any Other Name." In Richard Lobinske's Last Summer and Falling Into College stories, Daria published a total of four Melody Powers stories with an action pulp magazine called Literature in Action. Daria has a Melody Powers story published in "Prayer for a SAINT" that causes unexpected problems.
Sometimes in fanfiction, Melody is written as a self-insertion or Mary Sue of Daria herself. Other times, Melody is presented as an independent character; she might even be Daria in disguise (e.g., "Alias: Melody Powers," by Kendra Steiner). In a few stories, Melody is a real person in the Dariaverse or is brought to life therein.
