==Melody Powers in Fanfiction==
Having Daria write Melody Powers stories has become a staple in fanfiction writing. In [[Richard Lobinske]]'s [[Last Summer]] and [[Falling Into College]] stories, Daria published a total of four Melody Powers stories with an action pulp magazine called ''[[Literature in Action]].'' Daria has a Melody Powers story published in "[[Prayers for a SAINT]]" that causes unexpected problems. A few fanfics have Daria become the famed author of Melody Powers novels ("[[Of Lifestyle Choices and Definitions of Success]]," by [[Wyvern337]]), which might result in Daria attracting the most unusual fans ("[[It's a Wonderful Life, Not]]," by [[Thomas Mikkelsen]]). The Melody Powers meme is so pervasive that Daria writes these stories in various [[alternate universes]] like the ([[John Lane series]] by [[Richard Lobinske]]
A possible (hilarious) reason why Daria writes Melody Powers stories is offered in [[Thomas Mikkelsen]]'s "[[Sibling Rivalry]]." That Daria might be quite touchy about her Melody Powers works is considered in [[E. A. Smith]]'s "[[So Long As Men Can Breathe]]" and [[Renfield]]'s "[[Malice of Absence]]."

Sometimes in fanfiction, Melody is written as a [[self-insertion]] or [[Mary Sue]] of Daria herself ([[Wyvern337]]'s "[[Academic Imprisonment (Wyvern337 tale)|Academic Imprisonment]]"). Melody might even ''be'' Daria in disguise (e.g., "[[Alias: Melody Powers]]," by [[Kendra Steiner]]; "[[Melody Powers a.k.a. Daria Morgendorffer]]," by [[James Scanlan]]). [[Mystik Slacker]]'s [[True Cynicism]] tales have Daria make a shocking discovery that leads her into a life not unlike Melody's. (This also happens in "[[Prayers for a SAINT]].")
In a few stories, Melody is a real person in the [[Dariaverse]] or somehow is brought to life therein. This might prove to be calamitous for all concerned (e.g., "[[Illusions|Illusions: The Unswerving Punctuality of—]]," by [[CharlieGirl]] and [[et alia]]; [http://
