'''Alternate universe''' in fanfiction is a self-contained separate reality coexisting with the canon reality. For our purposes, an alternate-universe (AU) fanfic is one in which a change is made to the sequence of events that occur in the canon ''Daria'' TV series

It is also possible to find both types combined in a single AU, such as in the [[Daria Von Doom Series]].
