Line 18:
The next day, in school, as Daria has read all books assigned to English class, [[Timothy O'Neill|O'Neill]] gives her a special assignment: to write a fictional story using real persons as characters.
 
Daria finds difficulty with the work. At the Lane's, as [[Jane Lane|Jane]] is painting and making suggestions, Daria writes and throws away two drafts, one inspired by the film ''[http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Graduate_%28film%29 :The_Graduate|The Graduate]]'', and the other heavily influenced by [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Jane_Austen |Jane Austen]]. At the Morgendorffers', Helen tries to probe her depressed daughter, offering advice and encouragement when Daria tells her about the assignment and her inability to write. However, between Eric's constant calls and an inadvertent comparison to Quinn, Daria snaps and scolds her mother for the poor parenting. Fleeing to her room, she uses her anger to write another story, describing laid-back Jake and Helen relaxing and chastising Quinn for her superficial teenager life, encouraging her to be like Daria, with Quinn tearfully agreeing with them before running outside and being hit by a truck. Daria also throws this story out.
 
The next day, Daria laments to Jane her lack of progress in writing, confusing her friend about what kind of story she wants to write. That evening, as Helen tries again unsuccessfully to approach her, another emergency with Jake in the kitchen gives Daria another idea: in medieval times, knight Jake meets witch Helen, demanding to see his future, but the witch insists in payment before lamenting women's lack of power. Then lighteninglightning strikes and now Knight Helen meets witch Jake, demanding to see her future, even threatening him, but Jake is more interested in tasting his brew…
 
The following day, Daria goes to see O'Neill, explains her lack of progress and frustration and requests not to write the story. The teacher encourages her instead, adding the requirement of using a game of cards in the story. Daria tries using this into the previous medieval story (this time starring [[Mack Mackenzie|Mack]] and [[Jodie Landon|Jodie]]), but ends up also throwing it away.
Line 34:
==Daria's Reading Material==
 
The book Daria is reading for school is [http[wikipedia://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_Moral_Fiction |On Moral Fiction]] by John Gardner. Daria sounds distinctly unimpressed with it (but could be just trying to get Helen to stop talking to her).
 
Books with "moral dimensions" that O'Neill lists on the blackboard are: 1984 by George Orwell, Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, The Dharma Bums by Jack Kerouac, and Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut. Considering the subject matter and style of some of these stories/writers, this list is quite surprising for O'Neill.
Line 59:
"Marcello" keep turning up in post-canon fanfic as a boyfriend, husband, or ex-relationship of Daria's.
 
A [[Novelization|novelization]] of [http://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20110519151817/http://outpost-daria.com/fanfic/ep213_write_where_it_hurts.html this episode] was written by [[Martin J. Pollard]].
 
"[[The Other Story of D]]", a dark counterpoint to Daria's story by [[The Angst Guy]].
 
In the [[Dariarotica]] story "[[I trust you]]" by [[Wouter Jaegers]] Daria's transistion to the way she looked in her future vision is depicted.
