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.

The John Lane series has recently featured the appearance of [[Tom Sloane]]. Where the John Lane series will go then is a much anticipated and debated development as the divergence from canon will, of necessity, be greater.
The John Lane series also featured the appearance of [[Tom Sloane]], who over time, became romantically involved with Quinn, and [[Alison]], who was presented in somewhat different and more positive light.
