===Dark Stacy===
Another (albeit rarer) theme involving Stacy has her somehow turning to the darker side of her nature. In most of these depictions, Stacy is seen almost as the archetype of a vampire: cruel, cunning, and amoral, with no hesitation or remorse about harming or even killing others, and lascivious almost to the point of being a sexual predator. In some of these stories, Stacy has also developed some form of supernatural or superhuman abilities, and has no qualms about using them. Stories of this type include "[[No More Ms. Nice Vampire]]" from the [[Daria the Hunter]] series, "[[Daria vs. the Lawndale Zombies]]," "[[Where's Mary Sue When You Need Her?]]," and the [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]] series. Examples of non-super Dark Stacys appear in [[Angelinhel]]'s "[[We All Fall Down]]," [[Brother Grimace]]'s [[Word of the Week]], and [[TAG]]'s "[[Stacy in Hell]]."
===Maturing Stacy===
Line 30:
An interesting variation on 'Sweet Stacy', this variation of Stacy shows her either in the process of becoming more mature to insightful onlookers, or shows her at some time in the future, where we see that she is no longer the quintessential victim of 'kick the cat' syndrome. Maturing Stacy fics usually focus on how Stacy realizes that the world of high school is a transitory one, and (usually behind the backs of her fellow [[Fashion Club]] members), endeavors to better herself academically, culturally, and socially - usually with positive results. Another trademark of these stories is that we find Stacy to be quite intelligent (albeit crippled by her home life, parents, and to a lesser extent, by the Fashion Club itself), as well as a quite capable student, and general source of useful information. In many cases, Maturing Stacy is actually a pale shadow of [[Daria]] herself, but without her own [[Jane Lane]] to provide unconditional support and friendship.
The first major work to display this Stacy variation was [[Austin Covello]]'s [http://www.outpost-daria.com/fanfic/a_day_in_the_life_of_stacy.html A Day In The Life Of Stacy], but can also be seen in [[Brother Grimace]]'s [[Lunchtime, Doubly So...]]
