Line 46:

Each episode also contains a "prologue" in which Wild states what number it is in the series and lists the the DWU installments that came before it, a practice dating back to when her fanfics were not grouped together at [[Outpost Daria]]. Wild would then give the episode an S rating representing the number of sittings it would take to read. Long episodes were given a 3S, or even a 5S. Wild might then make some comments about the episode to come before stating, "Enjoy!"

After each episode would come a lengthy postscript, sometimes the length of a short fanfic. Wild would make her comments and analysis ("Commentary"/"Points of Interest"). She might then follow it with an "Oops!" list of previous mistakes, or a "The Mysteries Of," which responds to a frequently asked question. Early installments included games regarding previous installments, but Wild found that the participation rate was low and stopped when she ran out of new games.

After each episode would come a lengthy postscript, sometimes the length of a short fanfic.

Following the style of many early fanfics, Wild wrote her DWUs in Courier text. After writing "[[None in the Family]]," Wild accepted [[C.L. Basso]]'s generous offer to redo her installments in HTML. Whereas the text versions contain the entire fanfic on one page, the HTML versions list one act per page. In recent years, Wild has had some difficulty with the HTML versions, as she has gone back and reedited some of her text fanfics, only to find making the change much more difficult on an HTML page. Wild coded "Into the Fire" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" herself, using C.L. Basso's template.
