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 have the old text live on in the HTML versions. Wild coded "Into the Fire" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" herself, using C.L. Basso's template.

Other elements that Wild adopted from early scripted fics were scene directions such as "cut to" and "beat," the latter of which Wild used so often, she shortened it to "Bt." As Wild wrote more standard Industry scripts, however, she realized that writers never put scene directions in their scripts and that "Beat" was seldom used so as to keep dialogue flowing at a brisk pace. The result was that the last several Driven Wild Universe fanfics are largely free of "Beat"s and scene directions, and Wild has gone back to several earlier DWUs and weeded them out.
