The term '''Angst Lords''' refers to those ''Daria'' fan authors whose works are consistently or especially dark, pessimistic, or tragic (i.e., [[Angst|angst]]). Despite an ongoing belief that a writer is ''designated'' as an Angst Lord, the reality is that a specific writer is in fact ''recognized '''as''''' such by others of that ilk for their specific works, which need not necessarily be limited to the area of fan fiction. (An example of this is the former fanfic critic [[CINCGREEN]]; were he still active in the fandom in this capacity, he would probably have been recognized as an Angst Lord).
