A '''reinvention''' is a creative recasting of the canon [[Dariaverse]], retaining the same ~~setting~~ ([[Lawndale]]) ~~and characters~~, but with pervasive changes in canon plots, events, and relationships between particular characters. Some changes in the personalities, goals, values, or habits of the characters might also be present, though not enough to make them unrecognizable.

A '''reinvention''' is a creative recasting of the canon [[Dariaverse]], retaining the same characters (and possibly the same setting, [[Lawndale]]), but with pervasive changes in canon plots, events, and relationships between particular characters. Some changes in the personalities, goals, values, or habits of the characters might also be present, though not enough to make them unrecognizable.

In certain fandoms, a reinvention is called an '''uberfic''' or "uber." This term originated in fanfiction for the TV show, ''Xena: Warrior Princess'', wherein certain episodes were shot depicting Xena and company in completely different settings. The characters wore clothing appropriate to those settings, but they still acting much as they normally did. In yet other fandoms a reinvention is usually called an [[alternate universe]], but in ''Daria'' fanworks the latter term specifically refers to an alternation in [[Dariaverse]] history, to avoid confusion. The term “reinvention” has less ambiguity about it.
