''This article is about the series. For the titular character, see [[John Lane (character)]].''
 
'''John Lane''' is an [[alternate-universe]] [[genderswap]] [[series]] by [[Richard Lobinske]] that was initially inspired by [[The Angst Guy|The Angst Guy's]] "[[Darius]]" that was started in January 2005 and completed in March, 2012. The series speculates on the changes that may have happened if Jane Lane were born as [[John Lane (character)|John Lane]]. Because Daria is initially reluctant to stop by John's home, they are not present to stop the bank officers from foreclosing on the Lane home. This leads to an investigation of Amanda and Vincent as parents and John eventually being taken in by the Morgendorffers. Instead of becoming best friends, Daria and John develop a romantic relationship.

Line 18:
The John Lane series plays off nicely on the popular perception that Daria and Jane make a great couple in canon, and they would make an even better couple if either they were both lesbians or one of them was a male. The overall tone of the series, despite the ingrained cynicism of John and Daria, is warm and hopeful. Daria matures more rapidly here than in the TV series, and her personality is markedly more positive. This is in striking contrast with the situation in “[[Darius]],” by [[The Angst Guy]], a tale about the tormented relationship between [[Darius Morgendorffer]] (Daria as a male) and the rest of the world, including his new-found girlfriend, Jane Lane.
