Also called a continuation, a '''sequel''' is a fanfic written to show events that occur after the end of another given fanfic, either the writer's own tale or someone else's. The sequel could also show events happening after an episode in the [[canon]] [[Dariaverse]], over a time period that is otherwise not described. The fanfic or episode on which the sequel is based is self-contained and does not require the sequel, which could still tie up loose ends from the original story or expand upon minor plotlines. The implication is that a sequel is like an afterthought, and was not conceived until after the original episode or story was presented. A [[post-canon]] story is often a direct sequel to ''[[Is It College Yet?]]'', following ''Daria'' characters as they go to college.

An example of a [[canon]] sequel would be "[[A Tree Grows in Lawndale]]," which is a sequel to [[Tommy Sherman]]'s death in "[[The Misery Chick]]." In covering [[the Triangle]], "[[Fire!]]" is a sequel of sorts to "[[I Loathe a Parade]]," "[[Dye! Dye! My Darling]]" a sequel to "[[Fire!]]]], and ''[[Is It Fall Yet?]]'' a sequel to "[[Dye! Dye! My Darling]]."
An example of a fanfic sequel to a show episode would be [[TAG]]'s "[[Sudden Death Overtime]]," which immediately follows events in the fourth-season episode, "[[A Tree Grows in Lawndale]]." A fanfic sequel to another fanfic by the same author would be [[E. A. Smith]]'s "[[The Tempest]]," which follows his [[Love's Labours Trilogy]]. A sequel written by one author for a fanfic by another author would be [[Chris Smith]]'s "[[More Than Anyone Can Take]]", a follow-on to "[[Maine Escape]]," by [[Michael Pfeffer]].
