▲'''"Burnout"''' is an upcoming 2022 fanfiction series by ''ThePatchedVest''. The story follows a meticulously canon-compliant timeline of ''[[Daria]]'', while deviating from the show and telling a wholly original narrative from the perspective of [[Burnout Girl]], who moves to [[Lawndale]] with her father after the death of her mother. The work is among the more serious-in-tone, dealing extensively with themes of grief, trauma, mental health, substance abuse and suicide, whilst still maintaining much of the light-hearted absurdist humor and deadpan snark the television series is known for.
''ThePatchedVest'' began writing ''Burnout'' in 2017 after a marathon of the series, noting that the character of "Burnout Girl" hadn't yet received a notably defining depiction in fanfiction the way other backgrounders (such as [[Andrea]] and [[Scarlett]]) had. A [https://i.redd.it/b2puhh7p5ltz.png conceptual poster] was soon uploaded to the ''"r/Daria"'' subreddit. Vest has cited [[Roentgen|Roentgen's]] ''[[The Hallowed Halls of Fielding]]'' and [[Kara Wild|Kara Wild's]] [[Driven Wild Universe|''Driven Wild'' universe]] as major inspiration for writing the series.

* During the pre-production process, ''ThePatchedVest'' underwent what they entitled ''"Burnspotting"'', which entailed screenshotting ''every'' appearance of the [[Burnout Girl]] throughout the show's run of sixty-five episodes and two films, whilst taking notes on the context of aforementioned scenes, then finding interesting and abstract ways that the events of said scenes could influence or interact with the overall narrative.
* Several aspects of ''Burnout's'' overall narrative line up
* Likewise, each chapter title is a reference to an alternative rock song, typically those that were released and/or received airplay on [[MTV]] during the five-season tenure of ''[[Daria]]'' from 1997 to 2002.
