Line 7: ==Fandom History== Suni's first foray into fanfiction was "[[End, Weekend, End]]," written in September 1999, a comedic script that he kept as close to canon as possible. In the forward, he stated "My ambition when I started to write this was that, if this script would have been turned into an episode, nobody would know that it hadn't been written by someone of MTV's people." He quickly won praise for his efforts, and followed up in November 1999 with a similar scripted fanfic, "[[Hotter ~~Than~~than Hades]]." [[C.E. Forman]] was credited as being a strong influence on his tone and structure. Suni's next fanfic, "[[How Deep It Goes]]," would be dramatically different from his first two. Written in prose, in six parts, it involved Daria pondering the meaning of life after the suicide of a classmate. This would be the first of two prosefics that Suni wrote. Line 21: In order to illustrate how a <i>Daria</i> fanfic and episode should progress, Suni wrote "[[Satura Tota Nostra Est]]" in April 2000. Suni kept the characters close to canon, as usual, allowing only slight character development for Mr. O'Neill. He would follow up this effort with another lengthy essay in May 2000, "[[On Comedy, Drama and Emotional Involvement]] or, Vivisection of a Dying Show." By this point, many fans had grown tired of Suni's negative opinions, and C.E. Forman finally responded with a satire of Suni's first essay. Forman's essay, "[[This Show Sucks]]," poked fun at the notion that Season One <i>Daria</i> was "true" <i>Daria</i>, since the first season was very different from the black and white pilot, "[[Sealed with a Kick]]." His essay was met with enthusiasm by most of the fans, but some felt that it was unfair to single out Suni just for having an unpopular opinion. Forman and Suni began debating at length during the summer of 2000 on the [[Outpost Daria Message Board]], until the entire [[Outpost Daria]] site went dark due to a misguided [http://web.archive.org/web/20110919000112/http://www.outpost-daria.com/non-foxing.html "foxing"]. Once Outpost Daria was resurrected, without the message board, Suni saw no reason to stay further, and soon left for good. ==External Links== [http://web.archive.org/web/20121018000120/http://www.outpost-daria.com/essays.html#dsuni Essays by Daniel Suni] [http://~~www~~web.archive.org/web/20111015013414/http://outpost-daria.com/fanfic_d_author.html#daniel_suni Fanfiction by Daniel Suni] [[Category: Essayists\|Suni, Daniel]] [[Category: Authors\|Suni, Daniel]] [[Category: Controversial figures\|Suni, Daniel]] [[Category:Fans from Finland\|Suni, Daniel]]
