A reinvention that involves placing Daria & company in an earlier historical period (e.g., the 1950s or the 1880s) is sometimes called a '''retrofic'''. [[Decelaraptor]] is a master of the form, producing numerous retrofics placing Daria and Jane in various settings with humorous effect. His relevant works include "[[Le Morte d'Angela]]," "[[Tales of the Missouri Cheyenne]]," and a host of short fics for an Iron Chef called "Retro Dariana" ("[[Daria: 1830]]," "[[Blimps Over Brittany!]]" and the bittersweet World War II tale, "[[Home Is the Sailor]]"). The Retro Dariana thread also includes Gregor Samsa's excellent story, "[[Ms. Morgendorffer's Profession]]," about a Daria born during Victorian times.
