Line 5:
Fantasy writing may be divided into numerous subgenres, but ''Daria'' fanfics have their own peculiar fantasy subgenres that do not always match up with the broader field. Notable subgenres are given below, with examples. [[Crossovers]] are included under the appropriate subgenre headings. Almost every category has examples that will spill over into other groups.
===
One or more ''Daria'' characters discover the hard way what existence is like after death occurs. This category crosses over into [[ghost stories]] and other types of [[horror]] fiction, but sometimes horror is not the primary emotion evoked by such tales
'''Examples'''
* "[[Always Beside You]], by [[The Angst Guy]]
[[Death Rowe]], by [[bgryphon]]
[[Unseen Phenomenon]], by [[Wildgoose]]
[[What You Reap]], by [[Thea Zara]]

In [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_fantasy comic fantasy], silliness and humor are the rule. These may include bedtime stories told to children that [[Daria]], [[Jane]], or [[Quinn]] are babysitting; twisted [[fairytales]]; and other off-the-wall fics written purely for the reader's amusement. [[Squirrel stories]] in which the squirrels act in fantastic ways go here
'''Examples'''
[[Barely Tales]], by [[Kemical Reaxion]]
[[Cynical Symphonies]], by [[Ranger Thorne]]
[[I Never Metamorphosis I Didn't Like]], by [[The Angst Guy]]
[[The Idiocy]], by [[Kristen Bealer]]
[[The Original Underground Government-Suppressed Version of Brother Grimace's Classic "Daria" Fanfic, "The Sun Will Come Out, Tomorrow"]], by [[The Angst Guy]]
[[Quinnderella]], by [[Mike Xeno]]

===[[Dream World]]s===
Dream worlds are exactly what they sound like: dreamlike environments that do not obey the laws of reality. [[Alice stories]] are nearly always of this type
'''Examples'''
===[[Fairytales]]===▼
[[#10 Dream]], by [[Rey Fox]]
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairytale_fantasy Fairytales] are stories making use of classic folklore, such as giants, elves, wizards, dragons, and other monsters, taking in fantastic settings that usually resemble Dark Ages Europe. Dungeons & Dragons and other fantasy game [[crossovers]] appear here, as do Arthurian pastiches. Examples: [[Daria of the Drow]], by [[Dervish]]; [[Le Morte d’Angela]], by [[Decelaraptor]].▼
[[Air Bed]], by [[Brother Grimace]]
[[If You Only Walk Long Enough]], by [[The Angst Guy]]
