Line 12:
A reinvention is not necessarily a [[crossover]], though its development can be influenced by an external source, paralleling and perhaps even completely crossing over into that specific other 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]] would be considered a reinvention, since magic is pervasive in the setting, but not a crossover. If Hogwarts and Harry Potter were there, too, the story would be a crossover and a reinvention at the same time.
[[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, 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, as the background for the ''Heroes'' affects every aspect of the story, essentially reinventing it. In contrast, [[Richard Lobinske]]’s [[Daria Von Doom Series]] and [[TAG]]’s “[[Outcasts from Beyond]]” are [[crossovers]], not reinventions. The Marvel and DC Comics Universes exist
