It's the first fan-activities update in a week, after a lot of interesting discussion here, so thanks for your patience.

Many posts, though, are being lost or slowly entered for some people at PPMB, along with the continuing server, reloading, and other errors noted recently for both main boards.

So you'd do well to avoid any loss by composing and saving posts off-line in a text editor -- and only then copying and pasting them into a posting window.

The Irony Maiden's "Daria International" page has updated its TV-showing listings. Apologies to Fr. Martin for not digging a bit deeper!

At the PPMB:

~ Reports on my Blog partner's mini-Daria-con in Atlanta last weekend are entirely congenial. (I've already invited CincGreen and his spouse to dinner some day in L.A., by the way!)

~ Bluu has begun a "Who are ya?" introduction thread, a great icebreaking idea for any fandom, so reveal yourself! (Just age and gender. Sheesh {g})

~ Musings are being made on the timeline and contributors for Jake's repression.

~ Kara Wild and The Bug Guy are debating whether "Falling Into College" shows a Daria on a trajectory that makes her "pragmatic, content, and sociable." Many others chime in, including notes on other college paths for Our Heroine.

~ The new thread of the perennial "Scenes That Should Not Be" has, apropos of the season, become "Scenes That Keep On Giving."

~ The Angst Guy has reached chapter XVII of "Outcasts from Beyond." A behind-the-scenes post is also in the works, but will take time, he says.

~ MsHand completed Part 9 of "Priceless." Discussion of college options also is sneaking in here.

~ Micka began "Another New Damn Kid Series" with five parts for chapter 1.

~ Kara has finished posting "Tomorrow Never Knows," DWU part 22, and has included a note on apocrypha and cut scenes.

~ The Daria Hunter has begun "Daria's Star Wars: The Lawndale Menace."

~ RLobinske has begun "John Lane" part 13, "Movie Magik."

~ Ranger Thorne has posted chapter 6 of "Shadow of a Cynic."

~ Lawndale Stalker has a witty movie-alluding scene that may or may not have been in a draft of "Aunt Nauseam"!

~ Reese Kaine discovered a crossover of "Daria" with "The League of Gentlemen."

~ Greystar has a new chapter 13 of "Daria 3059." She's included a "Butcher's Bill" summary for her MechWarrior Academy, which surprised some readers ...

~ D.T. Dey suggests that gaming-channel G4 host Morgan Webb is very much a "real-life Daria," especially as to "her sarcastic streak." I'd say she's got the hair, at least! (Not a game maven here, I fear.)

~ A news discussion with overtones of Ms. Li is about a new use of surveillance cameras. They would have scotched that Talking Toilet, as Jane called it, methinks ...

At the SFMB:

~ Roentgen put forward part 5.7, with a bird's-eye view, of "Legion of Lawndale Heroes."

~ Psychotol has concluded "Living Dead Girls 5: Twister Harvest."

~ Angelboy has added another part to chapter 3 of "Diary Entries."

~ Sleepless posted a new chapter 35 to the suspenseful "Yuki-onna."

~ DJ has nude sketches of Daria and Quinn in the adult section.

~ The Great Saiyaman (Wouter) has pages 39 and 40 of "Party at Lindy's," these two entirely non-erotic but still a delight, here in the adult section and at PPMB as well.

And the entire mostly-erotic "Lindy's" story is available (or will be at the next update) here in "Comely Comics" at The Sh33p's Fluff. The many page links in the SFMB thread are nearly all not working.
