==Influences==
In addition to influencing her stories' structure, Wild credits C.E. Forman and John Berry with helping the Driven Wild Universe stick to a lighter tone, at least in the beginning, with their emphasis on mining a situation for humor. The events of the Driven Wild Universe were strongly influenced by episodes in <i>Daria</i> Seasons Two through Four.
In turn, the Driven Wild Universe is credited with creating perhaps the first nuanced portrayal of Amy, which influenced how future writers such as [[The Angst Guy]] would portray her in their fanfics. The DWU's complex portrayal of Quinn and Helen also influenced other authors (such as [[Crusading Saint]], in the case of Helen) to portray them in a less one-dimensional manner, although the series proper's softer portrayal of both characters had an obvious effect as well. Before <i>Is It Fall Yet?</i>, several fanfic writers made teasing references to Quinn being a brain or wearing glasses. For instance, [[Milo Minderbinder]] portrayed "smart Quinn" in an alternate universe in "[[Back to the Future! Again! Part 3]]," which was originally supposed to be the Driven Wild Universe Quinn herself before Minderbinder decided to keep the reference more general. In "[[Daria the Movie]]," [[Lynn Quinn Michaelis]] wears prescription "sunglasses" in an effort to hide her vision problem, the Adelmans' nod to the DWU.
