Line 1:
''The Daria Multiverse'' is an artificial designation created by [[CINCGREEN]] that encompasses not only canon ''Daria'' episodes but all other ''Daria'' fanfiction universes as well, when those alternate realities explored in Daria fanfiction diverge signficantly 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 stands for the number. Since there is no way to automatically designate numbers, the method of assigning numbers is inspired by the late Marvel Comics editor MattMark Gruenwald. In Marvel cosmology, the "number" of a universe is determined by the number of a comic book where that universe made its first appearance, or is heavily influenced by that book. The number might also relate to an important date or fact about that alternate reality.

Line 25:
'''Daria-918''': the universe of the [[The Look-Alike Series]]. The numerical designation comes from the conceit that Daria has a look-alike -- "The Patty Duke Show" first aired on 9/18/1963, and the premise of that program is that Patty Lane has a look-alike cousin, Cathy Lane.
 
'''Daria-1026''': the universe of [[Bed and Breakfast Man]]. The universe is titled after a song by the British band Madness, and the song belongs to the album, "One Step BelongBeyond" which was released on 10/26/1979.
 
'''Daria-1451''': the universe of [[Richard Lobinske]]'s [[John Lane]]. The first episode of that series, "John", starts on Columbus Day, and Christopher Columbus was born in 1451.
