Line 3:
RPF is rarely seen in ''Daria'' fanfic, except for the occasional use of characters based on real-life fanfic authors, artists, and fans, usually in comic [[dream world]], [[reality crossover]], or [[alternate-universe]] tales (e.g., "[[Fandemonium]]," "[[Aunt Kara]]"). These characters almost always play secondary roles to actual ''Daria'' characters as they interact.
It is possible to consider real-person fiction as the exact opposite of a [[reality crossover]]. In the former, a real-life celebrity appears in a [[Dariaverse]]; in the latter, Daria or one of her cohorts appears in the real world.
The fifth-season episode "[[Camp Fear]]" featured two characters based directly on ''Daria'' fans: [http://glitterberries.freehostia.com/tvdb/KleinHassMichelle.htm Michelle Klein-Hass] and [http://glitterberries.freehostia.com/tvdb/MillsErin.htm Erin Mills]. Erin (a.k.a. Shallow15) won a trivia contest on MTV's ''Daria'' Website, and Michelle (a.k.a. MsGeek) operated [[Lawndale Commons]] and wrote magazine articles on ''Daria''. Further details are available [http://www.outpost-daria.com/ep504.html here.] The [[Daria Character Database]] entry for [http://glitterberries.freehostia.com/tvdb/MysteryCharacter.htm "Mystery Character"] probably referred to Erin Mills.
