An excellent example of ''Daria'' metafic is [[Scissors MacGillicutty]]'s "[[Where's Mary Sue When You Need Her?]]" which skewers Mary Sue stories. More precisely, it skewers the idea that all Mary Sue or self-insert stories are terrible by being excellent, although the author himself has reservations about it. The author did intend to invert the traditional Mary Sue trope of having the self-insert character be omniscient, omnipotent, and physically irresistible, and his Mary Sue persona is weak, clueless, and can't even admit his attraction to Daria to himself.
 
Another outstanding example of ''Daria'' metafic is [[The Angst Guy]]'s "[[Deus Jane]]" which uses continuity errors and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diegesis#Diegesis_in_film non-diegetic] elements of ''Daria'' the cartoon as objective elements of a world created by a Jane Lane with god-like powers of creation. Thus ''"[[Deus Jane]]''" not only calls the reader's attention to that it is a work of fanfiction, but that the original work from which its derived contains numerous technical flaws.
