Do We Need More Than
Two Daria Message Boards?
Deceleraptor has returned to the Daria message boards after some health-related issues. The DFB wishes him good health and best wishes.
A belated Happy Birthday to long time Daria fan Kemical Reaxion.
At the PPMB:
MsHand completed Part 5 of "Priceless".
Atimnie completed a new segment of "Diary Entries".
Richard Lobinske completed "John Lane 12: A Time for Every Purpose".
DJW completed Chapter 7 of "The Dammitall Run".
LOTR_Dan completed Parts 1 and 2 of "People Who Need People".
Wormbait completed "Nightmares".
The Angst Guy completed Parts IX and X of "Outcasts from Beyond".
The round-robin fic "Daria's popular" continues on PPMB.
At the SFMB:
An interesting discussion is taking place about Reese Kaine's new message board (when it's not being hijacked by flame warriors). Crazy Nutso made the following comment:
But to get back to the thread's topic (kind of) I would agree that the creation of new boards is pointless. Historically, Daria fandom has only been able to support two boards, the 'main respectable' one (currently the PPMB) and the 'alternative (tm)' board (currently this'un). Any other boards tend to wither away and die obscure deaths.
One of the few times I agree with Mr. Nutso. Mr. Kaine's new board has the added disadvantage of a reader not being able to tell immediately when someone has added a new post. However, there is an interesting discussion regarding Ruthless Bunny's essay, "Fandom as a Cargo Cult", which can be found here on Mr. Kaine's board.
