Is it just me, or is "Pierce Me" just another fan fictoin? Although it had its moments, It just didn't seem real. I mean, it made me think. I can't quite see Daria getting her naval pierced, even if someone she loves thought it would look hot. What made me think was that if Trent been at Dr. Shars in "Too Cute" and said Daria would look hot with breast implants or something like that, would Daria get the plastic surgery just becouse Trent said so? I hope not. I know this whole rant sounds silly because shes a cartoon charecter who is not even REAL, but I always think of fictional carachters as having lives of their own (And no, I am not some psyco thinking they are literaly real, I just mean- Well you know what I mean) Plus, compared to the far supierior "Road Warrior" this episode seems like just another piece of fanfic. "Road Worrier" showed Daria more personaly, more in depth. The funniest part was when Daria had to pee, and everyone has a loud conversation about it. I liked it cuz you could sympathise with her. I mean we've all been in situatins like that where nothing seems to go right. Plus, although at first everything seems to go wrong, it had a good ending where Daria gets to ride up front with Trent. Anyway, maby if Ann D. Bernstien(who wrote Road Worriers) had written "Pierce Me" it might have saved it by not becoming another fanfic.

It's a story by fans of a show about the characters.

Every single Daria fanfic ends up with Daria and Trent finally together. (Well, not EVERY one, but most of them)

Of the fanfics on LC, which ones are yours? I forget. I think yours were the incredibly long ones that I'm not quite ready to read yet.

Mine is "Sins of the Past". It's not short, by any means, but it won't take forever to read. Michelle's, on the other hand, are the incredibly long multi-part ones. :-)

Okay, now, make up your mind. You're either stupid or you're lost. Can't have both, that would be selfish. :-)

Seriously, many Daria web sites carry fan fiction. One of the most complete is Planet Daria at http://www.the-wall.net/~daria/. Another is Lawndale Commons (http://www.2cowherd.net/catseye/thecommons/). There's also my web site, the URL for which is at the bottom of this message (though my collection mirrors Lawndale Commons; me and Michelle, the webkeeper of LC, have very similar tastes).

Gee, thanks so much. :)

That's me. I'm the queen of the selfish B****'s

Thanks for the info. :)

I only wrote *two* multi-part 'fics: "Trent's Adventures In LA-La Land" and "Party Like It's 1999". All the rest are just one part.

Have you gotten me confused with Peter Guerin? ;-)

Well, I figure if you take the total number of parts to all your 'fics, and divide that by the number of titles... factoring in the Pentium math bug, of course... <grin>

We both know that's not a good analogy. Deep down Daria wanted a ring. It wasn't TOTALLY because he wanted her to.

And that's something that people tend to forget... that, for all her seriousness and maturity, Daria is still just a teenager, with all the confusion and raging hormones such a thing implies.

Plus, I'm not sure if she would have wanted the piercing at all if not for Trent. Her comment about not wanting to experience pain for the sake of beauty, her reaction to the *potential* pain, the fact that she took it out because it itched, and that she didn't want Trent to find out that she had lost the piercing lead me to believe that she didn't give a damn about the piercing other than the fact that Trent liked it. If she really wanted to get pierced, she probably would have done it earlier.

I'm not saying that Trent wasn't the major factor. But I'm sure at the time it sounded like it would A) Alternative-ize her to Jane B) Piss off her parents (although she got scared and hid it from them later C) Annoy Quinn, because her sister did something "cool"

Yeah, I mean, she wouldn't have done somethingreally stupid just 'cos he'd said so. She's not that weak!

Peer pressure....

I don't think Daria would like Trent if he approved of thatsort of thing. I think the main attraction is that he doesn't care about appearance.
