==Notes==
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).
==Affects on Fanifiction==
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 [[Claire Defoe]]'s over-populated studio apartment, to one of Daria's early Halloween costumes, to [[Anthony DeMartino|Mr. DeMartino]]'s confirmed bachelor status.
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. 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.
