The '''Daria fandom''' is an international and informal community drawn together by MTV's animated series ''[[Daria (TV series)|Daria]]''. The fandom is supported by a wide variety of media, including web sites, fan fiction, fan art and videos. However, the fandom not only interacts online in internet forums, but also gathers at informal meetings.
Despite the show’s ending in 2002, ''Daria'' fandom remains active and well connected, thanks almost entirely to the Internet. Many old fans have stuck around since the end, and both old and new fans still join the community occasionally. Regardless of length of time around, plenty of fanfic and fan art is being produced, albeit not at the same rate as before. However, there is enough going on to give reason that ''Daria'' fandom still has a lot of life left in it.
Line 16:
Since being taken off of the-N, Daria was not broadcast on any broadcast, cable or satellite network in the US (aside from the aforementioned 2009 broadcast) until 2010, when ''[[Daria: The Complete Animated Series]]'' was released on DVD. Several episodes of the series were broadcast on [[Logo]], [[MTV2]] and TeenNick (The N's successor) in promotion of the release.
The era of streaming did see Daria return to screens (TV, computer, or phone) in the US. The show was hosted by Hulu for a while, until migrating to Paramount Plus, where it resides at the time of this writing.
The year 2018 also saw the announcement of a reboot show, titled [[Daria & Jodie]]. This would be a retelling of the show, though with Jodie as Daria's best friend instead of Jane. A few years later, it was announced that the show would instead be a spin-off simply titled [[Jodie]], and would deal with the titular character's life and experiences after Lawndale. A further update in 2022 stated that rather than being a show, [[Jodie]] would be a standalone film.

The primary form of communication comes from message boards, specifically the [[Paperpusher's Message Board]] (PPMB) and the [[Sh33p's Fluff Message Board]] (SFMB). These two
Daria has a long history on IRC. Three chat channels specific to Daria fandom have been used throughout the years, two of which no longer exist. The first of those is #Daria on efnet; the second is #Daria+ on dalnet. The current channel is #Daria+ on sorcery.net. Instructions on how to get to the channel can be found on [[The Irony Maiden]] and [[Lawndale Online]].

Finally, there is a Daria newsgroup, alt.tv.daria. However, it is not very active anymore.
The [[Lawndale-High Message Board]] was launched in 2019 as another forum for [[Daria]] fans.
