==Fan History==
Line 13 ⟶ 67:
With the conclusion of the series in 2002, Mikkelsen wrote his final work of fanfiction. True to his belief that without the show, there was no point in pursing Daria fandom, Mikkelsen disappeared, and has only rarely reappeared on message boards.
===Controversies===
While Mikkelsen did not push his prescriptivist viewpoint with the zeal of [[Daniel Suni]], he tended to voice his thoughts bluntly, in ways that were unflattering to various ''Daria'' fans. This ruffled some feathers in the fan community, and was one of the reasons Mikkelsen requested that his account on the old [[Paperpusher's Message Board]] (1.0) be deleted.
Mikkelsen held a special contempt for the fan fiction written by [[Brother Grimace]]. After the release of [[It's All About Respect]] in 2001, Mikkelsen made a posting on the [[Scorched Remnants Message Board]] in which he said that Brother Grimace should remove all of his works from the Internet and apologize to Daria fans for writing them.
Another term used on message boards to decribe Mikkelsen was 'canon-obsessive'.
==Trivia==
Line 19 ⟶ 81:
* When [[Martin J. Pollard|Martin Pollard]] opened his Featured Authors list (later changed to Recommended Authors) to fan nominations, Mikkelsen's work was the first such work nominated.
* Mikkelsen came up with the idea of a comic-horror series called "[[Tales from the Burbs]]" and recruited [[Milo Minderbinder]] and [[Kara Wild]] to help him. Each contributed a story, although at present, Wild has been unable to locate Mikkelsen's tale.
