Line 112:
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 "[[My Best Friend]]" where Trent (in a deliberate [[alternate universe|twisting of canon]]) has always been an abusive psychotic.
A large number of fics present a Trent who makes it as a musician: either Mystic Spiral or Trent on his own have become a successful band. Several fics by [[Nemo Blank]] take this path, as did the now-deleted but influential works by Klein-Hass. Trent is treated as someone who can make it as a proper musician.
Trent as a success became less prominent as fandom went on until Susie Lewis wrote "Catching Up with the Daria Gang" and presented Trent as a working rock musician. Post-canon fics will now often show Trent and his new band. [[LinnOfTheWoods]]'s [[LinnOfTheWoods Continuum|Continuum]] fics use this as a springboard, with Trent hooking up with original character [[Rose Norstein]] - this reveals the bar he works at is run by an older [[Upchuck]]!
