Dariaverse Crossover: Difference between revisions

A '''Dariaverse crossover''' is exactly what it sounds like: a fanfic in which ''Daria'' is [[crossover|crossed over]] with ''Daria''. Characters from one Dariaverse (usually very close to canon) somehow make their way into another Dariaverse (almost always an [[alternate universe|alternate]] version of the canon setup), and chaos typically results. The earliest known Dariaverse crossover was [[Through a Closet Darkly]], by [[Brian Taylor]], from 2001.

The earliest known Dariaverse crossover was [[Through a Closet Darkly]], by [[Brian Taylor]], from 2001. The idea began with Daria folk going from the canon Dariaverse (or a close approximation thereof) to a new Dariaverse of the author's invention, but it has also grown to include characters from one author's Dariaverse going into one or more other authors' Dariaverses. The 2005 story [[Illusions]], by [[CharlieGirl]], [[Angelinhel]], and [[The Angst Guy]], presented the idea that an ancient alien race called the [[Architects]] had invented a large number of inter-universal gateways using their godlike technology, and one such gateway found its way into the back of the [[Good Time Chinese restaurant]] in [[Lawndale]]. This idea was seized upon in later stories: [[Three]], by [[Richard Lobinske]]; [[Second Chances]] and [[End of the Line]], by [[Lycissa]]; and [[Guys' Night Out]], by [[TAG]].
