Driven Wild Universe: Difference between revisions

 

==Background==

 

An intriguing AU series, the Driven Wild Universe's main focus is on Quinn's evolution from popular person allergic to school to a glasses-wearing math prodigy who sees a new world opening up before her. (The series proper would later provide its own perspective in <i>[[Is It Fall Yet?]]</i> and "[[Lucky Strike]]." At the same time, Wild felt compelled to tweak other dynamics that she felt were stagnant in the series, such as [[Helen Morgendorffer|Helen]]'s relationship with Jake. In time, she would give nearly equal coverage to Helen and her sister, [[Amy Barksdale]]. Some critics would charge that Wild did so at the expense of [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]], who, as the title characer, should have been the star. Wild pointed out that she was already being well explored on the series proper; however, during the final episodes of the series, Wild would beef up Daria's role, having her come face to face with the dark side of Quinn's success in math. Jane makes fewer appearances in the DWU than in the series proper, mainly providing much-needed common sense and support.
