==Fanfiction History==
 
Before Daria began as a series, Forman wrote some [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beavis_and_Butt-head Beavis and Butt-head]] fanfiction during college that won praise from other fans for its likeness to the show. After Daria's second season aired, Forman was so eager for more episodes that he decided to write a Daria fanfic. He wound up writing [[Lotto Nonsense]] in three days. The positive feedback he received encouraged him to follow up with [[To Helen Back]]. Before long, he had enough fanfic ideas for an entire season. "Lotto Nonsense" through [[Alienation Legacy]] are considered Lost Season One, or Season 1.5. [[A Morgendorffer Scorned]] through [[Fireworks]] are Lost Season Two, or Season 2.5.
 
Like his Beavis and Butt-head fanfics, Forman's Daria fics were praised for their fidelity to the show. Each fic was written in quasi-script format, with punchy dialogue and situations that rarely deviated from those of the show. The characterization also tended to stick closely to the show's, although one notable exception is his Sandi, who is nastier in than in the series. Forman has said in his defense that he only had the Sandi from Seasons One and Two work with, and didn't know which direction the show would take her in. Another exception to his fidelity to the show was the conscious choice to create a two-parter, [[Rain on Your Parade]]/[[Quinntet]]. (Though one could argue that the series later did the same with "Fire!"/"Dye! Dye! My Darling.")
