Despite much initial acclaim, the author now considers this story marred by repetitive exposition throughout, confusing and unnecessary discussions of self-referentiality in art at crucial points, and half-digested analytic metaphysics in the mouth of an impossibly off-canon Daria at its end. After some sober reflection, ''Daria'' fandom agreed, and the story won a [[The CRAPPIES|CRAPPIE]] in 2006.
Certain readers (i.e., [[cyde]], [[The Angst Guy]]) disagree with this sentiment, and cite this tale as a masterwork of extreme angst-fic. The depiction of [["Mad Dog" Morgendorffer]] and his poisonous legacy is especially good, with its cascade of disastrous consequences for the Morgendorffer family. The shock ending is very satisfying. A tour-de-force of upended character stereotypes and lurid secret agendas.
