==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]]."
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.
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>.
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]]."
