==Background==

The Driven Wild Universe (or DWU, for short) is meant to play out a series of "What ifs" regarding the <i>Daria</i> series if just one thing were changed. In the case of the DWU, this change involved Quinn getting glasses in the first episode, "[[Rose-Colored Lenses]]." While the early episodes of the Driven Wild Universe could have taken place within the series, once Quinn chooses to wear her glasses permanently (from "Cheered Down" onward) the fanfiction series breaks from the series proper and runs along a parallel path. Kara Wild has stated the the true break occurs after <i>Daria</i> Episode 307, "[[Daria! the Musical]]"; from that point onward, while certain series developments remain (such as the introduction of [[Tom Sloane]] as Jane's boyfriend), others never occur because they have already played out in the Driven Wild Universe, such as "[[Psycho Therapy]]."

It begins soon after the beginning of the third season of the series, diverging from the series continuity starting with "Lane Miserables," although some series developments still remain. [[Tom Sloane]], for instance, does become—and stay—[[Jane Lane]]'s boyfriend. An intriguing AU, DWU is notable for its development of [[Quinn Morgendorffer]] as a glasses-wearing math genius, an interesting outcome in light of a similar development of Quinn as being much smarter than she first appears in the actual TV series (e.g., as in "Lucky Strike"). The series gives Quinn, her mother [[Helen Morgendorffer]], and her aunt [[Amy Barksdale]] almost equal coverage with her sister [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]], exploring the relationships between these strong-willed women. Jane Lane is a secondary character.
