Off-Canon

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 or it might be an alternate universe (AU) tale. 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 an 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 tale that is congruent with the official series.
