Real Person Fiction: Difference between revisions

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. Telling the difference can be tough with some stories. As a rule of thumb, given a story that could be either a reality crossover or real-person fiction, the story is real-person fiction if [[Lawndale]] exists much as it appears in the ''Daria'' show.

 

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.
