Line 95:
The first known fanfic to pair Mack up with another girl was "[[Boy Fiend]]" by [[Austin Covello]] in 1999, where he briefly dates Daria after a breakup with Jodie. In this case, it just takes being left alone for a bit with Jodie to get him to realise that he still loves her.
The few true-blue '[[shipper]]s left in ''Daria'' fandom have taken pains to hook Mack up with other characters in [[alternate-universe]] or [[post-canon]] tales. Picking Mack's "best possible" girlfriend is almost a cottage industry. Among those usually chosen as his new mate are [[Jane Lane]] (a popular one), [[Brittany Taylor]] (also popular, though she did irritate him in the series), and [[Daria Morgendorffer]] (a more difficult mix). [[Shiva]]'s "[[Ethan Yeager in Lawndale]]" splits him and Jodie up as she's aware he's gay and in the closet,; she tells him she would become friends with him 'once he has figured himself out'.
In a twist on this, [[Ruthless Bunny]]'s "[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/932090/1/A_Change_in_Plans A Change in Plans]" has Jodie's parents believe ''Jodie'' belongs with someone else, viewing Mack as unsuitable because of his class and background.
