Line 1: [[Image:flip143.gif\|right\|frame\|Janet Barch dressed as Britney Spears, which is about as off-canon as you can get]] Any fanfic that does not follow the general plot, events, settings, and characterizations used in the ''Daria'' show. An off-canon story might have elements that are [[Out of Character\|out of character]], or it might be an [[Alternate Universe\|alternate universe]] (AU) tale or a [[reinvention]]. In any event, the off-canon story marks a divergence from the sequence of events shown in canon. Such a divergence might be minor, with few consequences, or major, greatly affecting the set-up of the canon series. Any [[shipper]] tale showing aan active romance between [[Daria Morgendorffer]] and [[Trent Lane]] during Daria's time at [[Lawndale High]], for example, is off-canon. The opposite of ~~being~~ off-canon is ~~being~~ "on-canon.," a ''Daria'' tale that is congruent with the established elements of the official series. Note that certain episodes of ''Daria'' are regarded by many fans as "[[Off-Canon Canon\|off-canon canon]]," meaning they present events that are so out of keeping with the rest of the series, particularly with regard to its apparent reality, that they are assumed to be dreams, hallucinations, fiction stories written by Daria, or the like. ==External Links== * [http://web.archive.org/web/20120719075241/http://www.outpost-daria.com/essay/kw_the_off-canon_approach.html "The Off-Canon Approach"] by [[Kara Wild]], which Wild has said that she [[The Off-Canon Approach\|regrets writing]]. ~~{{stub}}~~ [[Category: Fanwork Conventions]]
