Bernstein wrote this soon after the first season, and [http://www.the-wildone.com/dvdaria/anneinterviewsfull.html has stated] "I had to make up a ton of stuff that did not yet exist for The Daria Diaries. And then it all became part of "the Daria Universe" so people had to follow what I established!". Examples of this include the full names of [[Mystik Spiral]]'s members, the names [[Rita Barksdale|Rita]] and [[Amy Barksdale|Amy]] for Helen's siblings, the names of [[Adrian]] and [[Courtney]] for [[Summer Lane]]'s children, Jane's parents being globetrotters, and Jodie's severe disgruntlement about having to be 'perfect'. Some, like [[Ultrasuave Universe]] and the vinyl of [[Behind My Eyelids]], got nods on the MTV websites (which Bernstein wrote).

The Daria Diaries, as well as [[The Daria Database]], have provided additional information and different perspectives on characters and canon events that many authors have used and expanded upon for their stories.
These background tidbits range from
The most prominent of the Diary's entries used and expanded upon in fan fiction, is the first time she visited Casa Lane. While there she ended up helping [[Jane Lane|Jane]] barricade the house to prevent delivery of a potential foreclosure notice; in many stories, it's assumed that the house would have foreclosed if not for Daria's aid. Combined with the general shabbiness/disrepair of the Lane home, the implied lack of food/condition of the freezer in the Lane refrigerator, and other factors from the show, this reference has helped to create the generally accepted Daria trope of the Lanes (or at least Jane and Trent) as just barely surviving at/near poverty levels.
Fanfics greatly inspired by the book include:
*"[[Card Games]]" by [[Kristen Bealer]], based on a 'Masochist's Memories' photo of Daria at a sleepover because she has an adult library card
*"[[Forgotten but not Gone]]" by [[The Angst Guy]], based off the map's mentioning of a statue of a forgotten figure
*"[http://thepaperpusher.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=41735 Shake, Shake, Quiver and Quake]" by Kristen Bealer, about Jake's time at Buxton Ridge and his friend [[Randy]]
