In Transition

Gone for four days, and now back. A mass of new Daria fan fiction has been added to The Daria-Jane Conspiracy, so get over there and vote on your favorite stories.

By the way, this is a HIGHLIGHTS entry. You can't go on vacation for four days, update in one gulp and still feel like you're on vacation. More later.

Many Daria fans in transition. I came back from a cruise, Deref is now in the United States visiting fans, Kemical Reaxion is on a business trip. Steven Galloway visited his brother in Texas. Father Martin Sylvester is on his Easter break.

Dariacon Ohio is set for May 8, 2005. Contact mistress thea zara on the PPMB for further details/directions.
