<b>Daniel Suni</b> was a fanfic author and essayist from 1999 to 2000, noted for his strong [[Prescriptivism in Daria Fanfiction|prescriptionistprescriptivist]] beliefs.
 
==Biographical Information==
 
Suni was Finnish by nationality, and frequently consulted English-language dictionaries while writing his fanfics.
 
==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 Hades]]." [[C.E. Forman]] was credited as being a strong influence on his tone and structure (although shades of [[Kara Wild]] could be found in his copious end notes).
 
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.
 
Suni followed up with "[[A Lousy Deal]]" in December 1999, which resembled his earlier works. However, not long after Season Four premiered, Suni wrote his second prosefic, "[[A Sick, Sad Goodbye]]," in which Daria and Jane lamented the downward spiral of their favorite show, which represented Suni's growing dissatisfaction with the direction of <i>Daria</i>.
