==Controversies==
Initially, Wild's premise that Quinn was an intelligent person proved controversial. At the time, <i>Daria</i> had only aired three seasons, and while Quinn showed signs of mellowing, there was little substantial evidence that she could excel at school. Wild defended her interpretation of Quinn on a number of occasions from people who thought that Quinn succeeding at math was as likely as her sprouting pink wings and flying to Holiday Island. Once <i>Is It Fall Yet?</i> aired, Wild's vision was vindicated.
Wild's decision to take the characters in a direction that did not fit neatly within the confines of the series proper was also controversial. She wrote three-fourths of the DWU during a time (1999-2000) when canon versus off-canon battles were fierce, and many like [[Daniel Suni]] held that the best fanfics were scripted and did not deviate in any way from situations on the show. While Wild was spared the scorn heaped on writers like [[Canadibrit]] for [[The Look Alike Series]], her work was also not held up as a gold standard like the [[The Lost Seasons|fanfics]] of [[C.E. Forman]].
