While many AU's are one-off stories, it is also common to see an AU be the basis of a series of fanfictions. In the more fantastic AU's, these stories will rarely be based on specific episodes, as the world is highly different to canon and the cast may not even be at Lawndale High. |

A few of the "canon-based" AUs, like the [[Driven Wild Universe]] |
A few of the "canon-based" AUs, like the [[Driven Wild Universe]] or [[Jacob Morgendorffer, Esq]] also have entirely original stories: either due to the type of AU or to personal decision by the writer, the events of ''Daria'' episodes do not take place at all or take place "off-screen". |

A more common approach by many authors with "canon-based" AUs is to show alternative versions of specific episodes, and how they've been changed (drastically or with minor elements) by the AU's diverging point. Often, these series start directly with Daria's arrival in Lawndale ([[John Lane]], [[Finn Morgendorffer]], [[God Save The Esteem]], [[The Jake Lane Chronicles]]) but can start later in canon ([[The Longest Year]]). The further the series lasts, the more divergent the AU-episodes might get until you end up with a wildly different end point ([[Finn Morgendorffer]]). Some series may mash up multiple episodes into one story (Jake Lane). |
