(okay, i'm done with the simpsons-related posts. i don't want to piss off devoted daria fans who hate the simpsons.)

Thought so. Now do any of you have a clue as to why Daria fan fiction works (sometimes) but Simpsons fanfics don't? Could it have something to do w/ the fact that Daria contains more drama? Daria is *supposed* to be a comedy, right?

Personally, I hate most Daria fanfic too. But perhaps it's because Daria has more continuity? Simpsons has made several in-show references to how they go on some wacky adventure, and 30 minutes later everything is back to normal.

"Parody" would probably be the best term. Although it does seem to be shifting more and more towards drama. And not for the best, IMHO.
