Wild is credited with being the first person to popularize the notion that Quinn could be intelligent, over a year before the show followed suit. Because of the nature of this trend within her writing, she was known for a while as 'the Queen of Quinn.' She is also credited with humanizing both Helen and Amy, characters who were often villainized and glorified respectively.

From Wild's fanfiction comes the widespread notion that Amy is an art appraiser. (This is one of the more popular notions for Amy's career background; another very popular notion is that she has some sort of background in the intelligence agencies of the United States.) First noted in DWU #2, "The Tie That Chokes," this choice of career has been adopted by other fanfics, such as Greystar's "The Longest Year" series and The Angst Guy's "Invisible Planet."

Wild's short contribution to "Scenes No Daria Fanfic Should Have" led to [[Guy "Decelaraptor" Payne]]'s fanfic [[Kadhimiya]], about Quinn joining the National Guard and later dying in Iraq. This led to a short trend in "Quinn in Iraq" stories.
