Line 12:
Each story written would follow a simple set of guidelines:
* Each “tale” would be introduced by the series “cryptkeeper”, played by Ms. Johanson, the gluttonous consumer of charity chocolate bars introduced in Daria during the first season, but who in “Tales from the ‘Burbs” has apparently expanded her diet to include members of her family, an ex-boyfriend and the hapless Gupty kids.
* Each story focused on one character. The forward written by Thomas set the standard for each story. “Over the years there have been lots of ‘Daria’ fanfic. And while there have been no end to funny, romantic, dramatic, pornographic and just plain boring stories. Stories with the characters getting shot, burned, stabbed, eaten, electrocuted and so on have not been as forthcoming”. The stories in "Tales from the 'Burbs" remedied that.
* The end of each “tale” would feature an ironic, grizzly “twist” ending, in keeping with the original “Tales of the Crypt” theme.
“Tales from the ‘Burbs” was released on a web site hosted by a Danish ISP in December, 2001. It remained up for several months after the end of the Daria series, and then was taken down. The site was picked up by [[Lawndale Leftovers]] a short time later, where it and the stories it contain are available today.
