''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.
While the work isn't notably explicit, it was noted that a "mature/uncensored" version of the fic would be available exclusively through ''[https://archiveofourown.org/works/38451349 Archive of Our Own]''
==Synopsis==
Four years after a family tragedy, the quiet and stoic [[Burnout Girl|Kristi Burns]] moves from her childhood home to the new town of [[Lawndale]], where she struggles to start a new life and fit-in with the eccentric crowd of characters she finds herself surrounded by. Not long after, Kristi becomes enveloped in the highs and lows of first love, one that finds Kristi forced to overcome her own insecurities and come to her own terms with her trauma, in order to secure her happily ever after.

*'''[[Backgrounder#White Sweater|Celinda Nguyen]]''': Celinda is a rather popular girl who is part of the school’s planning committee with Jodie and Kelly. As such, she is friendly towards Kelly’s friends and frequently attends their events, such as the opening night at [[Cafe Disaffecto|Café Lawndale]].

==Trivia==
* 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.
* With the reveal of the final poster in May 2023, it was revealed by the author that elements from ''[[Beavis and Butt-head (TV series)|Beavis and Butthead]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downtown_(1999_TV_series) Downtown], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Space Office Space], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airheads Airheads]'' and the first four seasons of ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_the_Hill King of the Hill]'' would be incorporated and considered canon to the series, most notably the appearance of ''Downtown's'' [Goat]. Similarly, the fanfic was given the designation of '''D-11891''' in the [[Daria Multiverse]] categorization system.
* Several aspects of ''Burnout's'' overall narrative line up with the lyrics to the 1994 song ''"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQEm-vgxdI8 Burnout Girl]"'' by pop punk outfit ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screeching_Weasel Screeching Weasel]''.
** 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. For example, the first two seasons are titled after songs by ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beck Beck], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blur_(band) Blur], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleater-Kinney Sleater-Kinney], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eels_(band) Eels], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soundgarden Soundgarden], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dishwalla Dishwalla], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oleander_(band) Oleander], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toad_the_Wet_Sprocket Toad the Wet Sprocket], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroke_9 Stroke 9], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers Red Hot Chili Peppers], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primal_Scream Primal Scream], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_(band) Filter], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silverchair Silverchair],'' and ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_(band) Garbage]'' respectively.
