Veronica Morgendorffer: Difference between revisions

* “[[Illusions]],” by [[CharlieGirl]], [[The Angst Guy]], and [[Angelinhel]] (a complex multiple-AU tale including a world expanding upon Nowall’s original story concept, in which Daria does not remember Veronica because of a brain tumor--—and a second, dimension-crossing Daria doesn't recall Veronica, either, as she had no third sister).

* [[Ranger Thorne]], “[[Rifts]]” (Daria/Star Wars [[crossover]]) (Veronica was born to Helen and Jake after Daria and Quinn vanished from [[Lawndale]]).

* “[[Nothing Happens for a Reason]],” by The Angst Guy (a Nowall-style Veronica included in an AU parody of [[Mahna Mahna]]’s [[shipper]]-fic, “[[Everything Happens for a Reason]]”).

Characters named Veronica appear in the Morgendorffer household with some frequency to this day. In an unnamed serial by [[NightGoblyn]], in the 2007 PPMB thread, “More Apocalyptic Daria,” Veronica is again the youngest Morgendorffer sister. The tale is set in a post-atomic, <i>Road Warrior</i>-style American wasteland. In Richard Lobinske’s “[[Accidental Future]],” Veronica is Daria’s oldest daughter, born of her marriage with [[Tom Sloane]]—which&mdash;which Daria does not recall because of a car wreck. (The near accident in “[[Boxing Daria]]” was more serious in this AU.) Decelaraptor created a [[crossover]] ficlet for an October 2005 “[[Iron Chef]]” competition in which Helen Morgendorffer remarries after Jake’s death, giving Daria and Quinn an older stepsister, Veronica Lodge (from the Archie comics). Fictitious Veronicas, invented on the spot by either Daria or Quinn, appear in [[Roentgen]]’s “[[A Lie]]” and The Angst Guy’s “[[One More River to Cross]]” (“Aunt Veronica”). Additional Veronicas appear with regularity in ficlets and fragments from the various “scenes no Daria fanfic should ever have” threads on PPMB.

It has been speculated that any of the times Helen and Jake are shown fooling around on the original <i>Daria</i> show (e.g., in “Depth“[[Depth Takes a Holiday”Holiday]]” and “Fire“[[Fire!]]”) could result in Veronica’s birth, despite Helen’s assumed mid-to-late 40s age.

Do not confuse this in-joke character with occasional mention of unrelated Veronicas in Daria fanfics, such as the Veronica in [[Invisigoth Gypsy]]’s “We“[[We Are Not Amused”Amused]]” or [[crossover]]s with <i>Heathers,</i> <i>Veronica Mars,</i> etc.
