Revision as of 16:05, 13 August 2007
The red-haired UFO buff and pizza delivery boy who first appeared in "Esteemsters" and later in "The Lawndale File" and "A Tree Grows in Lawndale."
Artie in Daria Fanfic
Artie's numerous appearances in fanfic have been extremely consistent to type. He is usually depicted as a pizza-delivery guy or pizza waiter, but he sometimes has other jobs (paperboy, process server, babysitter, etc.), having lost his previous employment for predictable reasons. His appearances are brief, minor, and humorous, with a few notable exceptions. It is not uncommon to see him interviewed on Sick, Sad World about his various alien encounters and abductions, with which he is perpetually obsessed. He seems delusional, but once in a while (in science-fiction tales) his wild claims about aliens turn out to be perfectly correct. He is present in the background of the John Lane series, The Look-Alike Series, the Driven Wild Universe, and many more besides. He also appears in several crossovers, being mentioned in passing even in a Doctor Who tale, "Doctor Who Gives a Damn."
Typical examples of Artie's appearances in fanfic include the following, in no particular order.
- "Suffer the Children" by Peter Guerin
- "Essay of Exile II: Return to Lawndale" by RedPanther
- "Ring Toss" by Nemo Blank
- "Darius" by TAG

- "Weekend at Barch's by Patrick Moore (now a paperboy)
- "Courtroom Trauma" by Ben Breeck (now a process server)

- "Cynic Wars: Episode IV: A New State of Hopelessness" by Matt (amusing crossover with Artie as a Jawa replacement)
- "A Hard Days' Night" by TAG (Artie as a paranormal crimefighter with alien connections)
Artie's most atypical roles in fanfic are given below.
