Line 8:
A reinvention is not necessarily a [[crossover]], though its development might be influenced by an external source, paralleling without completely crossing over into that specific source. For example, if magic of the sort seen in the Harry Potter stories existed in a Dariaverse, but Hogwarts, Harry Potter, and so forth did not exist there, then the subsequent tale about [[Daria]] and company learning magic at [[Lawndale High]] could be considered a reinvention.
[[Roentgen]]’s [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] series, currently continued by [[Brother Grimace]], has usually been called a [[crossover]] as it describes how things might have gone if the ''Daria'' characters had gained the powers of the DC Comics Legion of Superheroes (teenage heroes in the 31st century). However, as few actual DC characters appear in the story, only the heroes’ superpowers, and the timeline has been advanced into the 21st century, the story could also be called a reinvention. (The Lawndale heroes have a "Legion Tower," like the Legion of Superheroes, but in the former case the setting is tailored specifically for Daria and company.) In the same vein, [[LSauchelli]]’s work-in-progress “[[Eldritch Evolution]],” which recasts ''Daria'' in the style of the TV series ''Heroes,'' is also a reinvention. In contrast, [[Richard Lobinske]]’s [[Daria Von Doom Series]] and [[TAG]]’s “[[Outcasts from Beyond]]” are true [[crossovers]], not reinventions, as the full Marvel and DC Comics Universes are assumed to exist '''in addition''' to the ''Daria'' setting.
