Line 1:
'''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 that 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, or is heavily influenced by that book. The number might also relate to an important date or fact about that alternate reality.
Line 29:
''- In this universe, both an unidentified organization and the covert U.S. agency known as [[DELPHI]] have access to technology that allows them to monitor, track and engage in trans-dimensional travel across other universes. It is possible that other AU-variants of DELPHI may have acquired the technology from them, such as the variants in Daria-387 and -247.'' (NOTE: This supposition was confirmed by events chronicled in the fics [[A Little Vacation]] and [[The Cynic and The Defender]].)
'''Daria-7''': the universe of [[Dennis]]' [[Iron Chef]] based serial fic [[Turnabout Confusion]]. The bet made between [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]] and [[Quinn Morgendorffer|Quinn]] is 'to act and dress like the other for one week' - or seven days.
'''Daria-9''': The universe of [[Greystar]]'s fic [[Daria AE]]. In the fic,
'''Daria-10''': The universe in [[LSauchelli]]'s series, "[[The Morgendorffer Files]]" which is a crossover with The Dresden Files. In this world Daria is a wizard who discovered magic when she met Harry Dresden, she was ten at the time.
'''Daria-12''': First seen in [[The Angst Guy]]'s fic, "[[Guys' Night Out]]." The universe that [[Darius Morgendorffer]], [[John Lane (character)|John Lane]], and [[Tom Sloane]] journey from by use of a dimensional gateway found and pilfered from the [[Good Time Chinese Restaurant]] franchise location in Lawndale. Much as per the story "[[Illusions]]," it is strongly hinted that the gateway in this universe is of alien origin. The number "12" stems from the fact that Darius and John have, at the beginning of the fic, already traveled through the gateway to twelve different realities.
'''Daria-13''': the universe that Darius Morgendorffer, John Lane and Tom Sloane (of the Daria-12 universe) have journeyed to from their own. It is notable in that the three traveled back at least 25-30 years into the past of this reality, and that the three interacted with other-dimensional counterparts of their parents. The number comes from the fact that this is the thirteenth universe to which they have traveled.
Line 45:
