==Fanon and Fan Culture Contributions==
 
While other authors, like [[Invisigoth Gypsy]], were writing in script form before Forman began, Forman's Lost Seasons popularized both script as a form of writing and a tone that was faithful to the show. His style became synonymous with "canon," which would spur vigorous debates betweenabout canon and off-canon as forms of acceptable fanfiction. (Forman himself read and enjoyed all types of fanfics.) Many contemporaries, like [[Peter Guerin]], [[Michelle Klein-Hass]], and Invisigoth Gypsy herself would cite him as an influence, as would authors soon to come, including [[John Berry]], [[Kara Wild]], [[Canadibrit]], [[John Takis]], and [[Daniel Suni]].
 
Forman adhered to canon strictly enough that he even created a "Daria Day" fanfic, in the style of the [[Daria Day]]s that preceded each season, to introduce Lost Season Two. After surveying fans to find out which were his best-liked and least-liked fanfics, Forman inserted each of them in that order into his "Daria Day," so that fans could read the banter of Daria and Jane, then the fanfics ("Taking Debate" was the least popular, "Quinntet" the most popular), culminating in the premiere of "A Morgendorffer Scorned."
