==Amelia in ''Daria'' Fanfiction==
After 2011, Amelia has often been given the fanon surname "Pine" after it was first used in the [[Worldburner]] crossover - a version of Amelia served as a comically bumbling [[Ringbearer]].
Amelia is not often used in ''Daria'' fanfiction, but fanfiction has occasionally addressed the issue of whether Amelia could possibly have been friends with Daria under any circumstances. An adult Amelia, now a county sheriff in Montana and Daria's real best friend, appears in the [[post-canon]] story "[[Darkness]]," by [[The Angst Guy]]. In an [[alternate-universe]] tale by [[TAG]], "[[After the End]]," he also showed Amelia becoming Daria's best friend after [[Jane Lane]] dumps Daria for good when the romantic triangle with [[Tom Sloane]] develops. [[Ms. Hand]] has Amelia become Daria's friend in college in the [[post-canon]] tale, "[[Not Exactly]]." She becomes Daria's friend in AU fic "[[Grove Hell on Earth]]" and its sequel, but Daria only approaches her out of sheer desperation (and had never liked her before). ▼

Other fans have been less optimistic. [[Kristen Bealer]] has often pointed out the selective and unrealistic way Amelia looks at Daria and their relationship, constantly missing cues correcting her false perceptions. "[[Country Wisdom]]" encapsulates this view perfectly with a strong in-[[canon]] flavor. "John Lane 41: [[Friends and Rediscovery]]," by Richard Lobinske, makes a similar point and adds a startling twist as well. In "[[Prisoner of Hope]]," [[TAG]] did depict a depressed Amelia shortly after the end of "[[Camp Fear]]," when she realized Daria could not be her friend after all.▼

A few [[genderswap]] stories have Amelia and a male version of Daria, turning her infatuation into a crush. [[J-D]]'s "[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7714460/57/Not-So-Different Not So Different]" had 'Sonny' Morgendorffer take mild pleasure in crushing her dream by revealing he's gay. [[Smijey]]'s "[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7320688/1/Rio_Grizzly Rio Grizzly]", where Darius is a stereotypical 'cowboy' type, ends with the two paired off.
And then there's the [[JoeMerl]] [https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7942471/39/Paperpushing-It untitled story] working off an [[Iron Chef]] prompt, where instead of Daria, Amelia starts following around a pre-teen [[Anthony DeMartino]]!
Outside of her obsessions with Daria, Amelia also appears as a first- or second-rank character in a number of [[alternate-universe]] fanfics with [[science-fiction]], [[fantasy]], and [[adventure]] themes. These include [[Greystar]]'s "[[Daria AE]]"; [[Galen Hardesty]]'s "Blood Oath of Patriots II", where Amelia is a secret agent; and the [[shared world]] sci-fi Amelia Pine, a recurring figure in the [[Worldburner]]/[[Worldhopper]] part of the [[Judith]] stories. In the [[post-canon]] [[Mystik Spiral]] story "[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12919646/1/Ow-My-Ears-The-Mystik-Spiral-Story Ow, My Ears! The Mystik Spiral Story]" by Charles RB, Amelia becomes the band's drummer after [[Max Tyler]] departs.
