Despite what Glenn Eichler and the others writers intended, Trent/Daria [[shipper]] fanfiction ''abounds'' in fandom. The production rate of shipper fics used to be quite intensive during the first few years of the show, both fics that showed them getting together and fics that played up the crush ([[C.E. Forman]]'s "Lost Stories" fics). The number have gone down since then, and [[anti-'shipper]] fics have turned up to poke holes in the pairing, like "[[I've Waited Here
The main depiction of Trent in fanfiction is either a similar role to canon - a helpful, decent (but lazy) ally of Daria and Jane. Some present a Trent who has become far more successful: often, Mystic Spiral (or Trent on his own) have become a successful band, such as several fics by [[Nemo Blank]]. Others will play up Trent's worse attributes and his obvious lack of a future for dramatic purposes, like [[E. A. Smith]]'s "[[Nowhere Man]]".
A minority of fanfics take a deliberately negative view of Trent, such as [[The Angst Guy]]'s "[[Darkness]]" where an older Trent is a physically and emotionally abusive man, and [[Smileyfax]]'s
In [[Wouter]]'s Dariarotica story "[[I trust you]]" Trent is seen in his thirties with a receeding hairline (Much like his father's) which he tried to compensate with longer hair in the back and a full allround beard-moustache. In that story Trent is still pretty much the laid back, soft spoken character of the series
