Line 23:
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 one of Daria's early Halloween costumes to [[Anthony DeMartino|Mr. DeMartino]]'s confirmed bachelor status. The map of Lawndale has been frequently used as well, both providing settings for fics to use and sometimes (like "[[GoneForgotten but Notnot ForgottenGone]]" by [[The Angst Guy]]) inspiring whole stories.
 
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.
