'''The Daria Multiverse''' is an artificial designation created by [[CINCGREEN]] that encompasses not only [[canon]] ''Daria'' episodes but all other [[Dariaverse|''Daria'' fanfiction universes]] as well, when those [[Alternate Universe|alternate realities]] explored in ''Daria'' fanfiction diverge significantly from what is considered [[canon]] ''Daria.''
These universes are designated by a numerical combination (and, only rarely, letters) in the format "Daria-XXX," where XXX is a distinctive number. Since there is no way to automatically designate numbers, the method of assigning numbers is inspired by the late Marvel Comics editor Mark Gruenwald. In [[Marvel Universe]] cosmology, the "number" of a universe is determined by the number of a comic book where that universe made its first appearance
== Definition of Terms ==
Per [http://www.marvel.com/universe/Marvel_Universe#Clarification_of_terms_.22multiverse.2C.22_.22megaverse.2C.22_and_.22Omniverse.22 Marvel Comics], some terms must be clarified in order to make sense of the linkage between universes. Much of the text that follows is taken from Marvel's website.
Line 13:
'''Omniverse''': Every reality imaginable, including those created, published, trademarked, or copyrighted by other companies or individuals, covering every fandom.
== Number of Universes in the Daria Multiverse ==
We assume that the Daria Multiverse is a simple subset of the Omniverse, as there may be universes that don't have Daria. However, we will assume that all worthwhile universes have Daria, since, well, Daria's so cool.
Line 23:
== Designations ==
'''NOTE: In using these designations in conversation, etc., the letter 'D' is used in place of 'Daria'; for example, the world in which the actual events of the program take place is referred to as 'D-101', or our world is designated as 'D-Prime'.'''
[[
'''Daria-Prime''': '''The universe in which we, the viewers of ''Daria'', exist as we view the original, canon broadcasts of the MTV television show and write
'''Daria-0''': The universe of [[Erin Mills|Erin Mills']] fic "[[Last Night In Lawndale]]." The designation 0 is selected as the world ends at the end of this story, with none of the existing ''Daria'' cast surviving, meaning that this particular Earth effectively no longer exists.
'''Daria-1''': The "Otherdale" universe as see in [[Brian Taylor (author)|Brian Taylor's]] fic [[Through A Closet, Darkly]]. This was the earliest known ''Daria'' fanfic involving cross-reality travel, hence the numerical classification. This was also the
'''Daria-2''': The universe of [[Ronin|Ronin's]] fic [[Lawndale Marmalade]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_marmalade Lady Marmalade], the song this [[songfic]] was inspired by, was only the second song in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billboard_%28magazine%29 Billboard] chart history to chart at #1 without being released in a major commercially available single format such as a CD or CD maxi single.
Line 118 ⟶ 117:
'''Daria-101.303''': A universe which is an exact copy of the Daria-Prime universe with one exception: the events in "[[Depth Takes a Holiday]]" are interpreted as a dream. In this universe, there is no "Holiday Island" pocket dimension and the events in DTaH didn't actually happen.
'''Daria-101.327-Z''': The universe of Smart Beavis and Smart Butt-head as introduced in the telefilm ''Beavis and Butt-head Do The Universe'' and expanded upon in the Paramount+ run of ''Beavis and Butt-head''. As seen in the episode "[[Abduction]]", the hyper-intelligent Smart Daria is a member of the council of Supreme Leaders of that universe. The name comes from the universe's designation for itself, '''Earth 327-Z'''.
'''Daria-109''': The [[Pause in the Air]] universe of [[The Angst Guy]]. In the fifth story, "[[Shock and Aww]]," the childbirth class is held in room 109A.
Line 225 ⟶ 224:
'''Daria-557''': The universe in which [[Angelboy|Angelboy's]] "[[Fandemonium]]" takes place. Angelboy made the posting that began the fic at 5:57 p.m. on Friday, October 6, 2006.
'''Daria-621''': [[Shiva|Shiva's]] [[Invertedverse]] in which the personalities and traits of the people in the regular Dariaverse are completely inverted, Daria is the most popular girl in school, Quinn is misanthropic, Kevin's a nerd, etc. The number 621 was selected based on the date when the AU was opened up, June 21.
Line 239 ⟶ 236:
'''Daria-711''': The universe of [[Richard Lobinske|Richard Lobinske's]] [[Mother's Love]] [[series]]. In the second story, "[[Alien Home]]," Daria arrives at [[Nest]] sometime on July 11th, or 7/11.
''Daria-713''': The universe of CollegeHumor's ''Daria Movie Trailer'', in which Daria (played by Aubrey Plaza) has returned for Lawndale's high school reunion. This skit was released in July of 2013.
'''Daria-716''': The Earth from which the zombie invasion of D-77 was launched. [[Archangel]] and [[Richard]] become the first contact between the
Line 408 ⟶ 407:
'''Daria-2036''': The universe of [[Walter Kovacs|Walter Kovacs']] [[The 180 Degree Turn]] alternate universe crossover serial. Events occur in the year 2036, so this number was chosen.
'''Daria-2172''': The universe of [[Jim North|Jim North's]] [[Daria: Hunter]] series, in which Daria and Jane are bounty hunters. The main storyline of the series takes place in the latter half of the year 2172.
Line 434 ⟶ 431:
'''Daria-6598''': The universe of [[Invisigoth Gypsy|Invisigoth Gypsy's]] [[IVG Continuum]]. The first story in the continuum is dated "6-5-98."
'''Daria-8196''': The universe of the ''Saturday Night Live'' skit "Arya": a crossover parody between ''Daria'' and ''Game of Thrones'' where an amalgamation of Arya Stark and Daria Morgendorrfer attends Lawndale and kills [[Kevin Thompson]]. George R.R. Martin's ''A Song of Ice and Fire'' was published on August 1st, 1996.

Line 447 ⟶ 446:
'''Daria-11304''': The universe of [[Guy "Decelaraptor" Payne|Guy "Decelaraptor" Payne's]] alternate version of "Daria-32004", [[Tallil]]. The story takes place the day after the 2004 elections, November 3.
'''Daria-11891''': The universe of "[[Burn the Rain]]" by ThePatchedVest. This earth is near identical to "Daria-101", diverging in that the events are told from the perspective of [[Burnout Girl]] and are reworked to be told along a stricter timeline: setting all events between September 1998 and July 2001. Numerous elements from ''[[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butthead]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_(1999_TV_series) Downtown], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Space Office Space], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airheads Airheads]'' and the first four seasons of ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Hill King of the Hill]'' are also considered to be canon to this earth. This universe's abbreviated designation of "'''D-11891'''" is a cypher that spells "D-ARIA".
'''Daria-12337''': A universe mentioned in [[A Fistful of Scarletts]] by [[Aloysius]]. It is the home of 17-year-old [[Scarlett (character)|Scarlett LeFaye]].
