A [[shipper]] story written about a love affair between two same-sex characters, lesbian or gay. The genre gets its name from the Star Trek fandom, for the slash mark used between the names of the characters involved in the relationship (e.g., [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirk/Spock Kirk/Spock]). For a discussion on whether [[canon]] supports such relationships in ''Daria,'' see [[Homosexuality in Daria]]. |

Lesbian stories (called '''<i>yuri</i>''' in [[anime]] fandoms) dominate slashfic here. Daria/Jane, Quinn/Sandi, and Jane/Quinn are the best known sorts of slash fiction in ''Daria'' fandom. Tales involving male gay relationships ('''<i>yaoi</i>''') were formerly rare in this fandom but not unknown ("[[Overcompensation]]," "[[Ragged Denim]]," "[[TnT]]"). This changed with the appearance of fan writer [[Shiva]], who has made up for the lack of representation of gay male relationships in ''Daria'' fanfiction. |

In a curious alter-ago picture at the end of the TV movie, ''[[Is It College Yet?]],'' [[Lindy]] and [[Alison]] were depicted in a scene on a farm with a number of children, implying that they were a lesbian couple with a family. [[Crusading Saint]] used this image as the basis for his story, "[[Love, Reign Over Me]]," arguably the only slash shipper given some form of support by the TV show. |
