'''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.

== 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.
