From the summer of 1999 through May 2000, Wild wrote several short to medium-length essays: "[[On the Subject of Quinn and Rape]]," "[[The Unflappable Jane Lane]]," "[[Amy: Savior or Chimera?]]", "[[The Helen-Jane-Jodie Connection]]," the afore-mentioned "[[The Moderator Is In]]," "[[The Off-Canon Approach]]," and "[[It Happened to Jane]]."
Some were basic chacter explorations, like "The Unflappable Jane Lane" and "The Helen-Jane-Jodie Connection," while others addressed controversial issues. "On the Subject of Quinn and Rape" took some fanfic authors to task for treating rape like a vehicle for redemption. (Though compared to later essays on the topic, Wild's was relatively mild.) "Amy: Savior or Chimera?" challenged the widespread belief that Amy only cared about or was a grown-up Daria. "The Off-Canon Approach" was a response to authors like [[Daniel Suni]], who believed that only strictly on-canon fanfics met the standard of true Daria fanfiction. "It Happened to Jane" came about because Wild was tired of fans claiming that Jane's character or the show was ruined because of a clumsy episode plotline ("The 'F' Word"). Wild's main point was that if the writers wrote it, it couldn't be off canon or out of character.
