High School Never Ends, Daria fanfic Options

[Acadian]

How nice to see Jane again! Her presence certainly perks up Daria. Too bad about Jane’s family’s house. The references you made to her neglectful parents in the Morrowind story are certainly reinforced here.

Yay, Jane is back in town!

Jane is a barrister? I did not know she had an interest in pursing a career in English law.

Oh no, it looks like the Spiral took its last turn? At least Trent is still in the music scene though.

Wow, the old Lane estate really has fallen on hard times, now that no one is there to live in it. Not surprised, given Jane's parents.

It was nice to catch up and commiserate with Jane once again.

Sorry to see you moving on to other things - you've been a wonderful addition to our small pool of skilled and devoted fanfic writers. I hope that when things change for you, that you'll be able to rejoin us.

Regarding the rest of your story, I think I shall read each of the final five chapters in five separate sittings and take notes for a cumulative post when all done. May be a week or two.

Yeah, same here. Sorry to see that life is getting too busy. I hope you can check in later when things settle down. I have not had time to read yet, but will probably do so in several chunks as Acadian suggested.

Ch 11. Wow, Daria’s in demand as a tutor even though she seems to be getting mixed results. And Kevin’s not among her successes so far. Aww, offering to teach him for free until he passes was sweet of her. She did gain some more insight into what makes him tick during their chat on the football field though so I’m looking forward to seeing how she implements that into her lesson plan for him.

Ch 12. Another flashback to college. Daria’s disappointment that Patricia was not done in by poor quality of the essay that fellow wrote for her is palpable. Her overreaction to Patricia’s B grade certainly telegraphs that something is up with Daria. Normally, I’d expect her to simply not care, but it seems like she’s starting to melt down.

Ch 13. Daria’s like a dog with a bone in her determination to teach Kevin the American revolution. Perhaps if King George III points a musket at him?

Ch 14. Ah ha! So Daria does succeed in making the lesson real for Kevin in a way it seems he can grasp. Pay the Crown to move cinderblocks for them. It’ll be interesting to see what he does with that newfound understanding. And donuts for her struggling student!

Ch 15. Well, the history part turned out okay for Kevin – too bad about the rest of Kevin’s subjects. Helen’s right – Daria really has invested a lot of herself into her tutoring. Kevin not making it really hit her hard. At least she has a little more space and a more compatible roommate than last time at Raft. Good that Jane will be there for her.


Overall. Another engaging Daria tale that, despite its somber ending, finishes with the tantalizing hint of a brighter future. Who knows? Perhaps some of Kevin’s infectious optimism will be the lesson he has taught her. Well done! I hope you and Daria will be able to rejoin us when your life allows for it.

Was gonna post the next Laprima but maybe I should let it simmer overnight. I'll read a chapter or two of High School instead. No idea if you're truly gone, WTC. Kinda weird sharing insights & laughs while unsure if you'll ever return, but in a way, you're still here. Always will be an honorary Chorrolite.

Nice, good to see she's actually making a springtime career of tutoring. Wow, she even got fired.

Ah, there she is in the library on her time off. That's the Daria we all know.

His sheer focus and single-minded dedication at that moment made the entire scene picture perfect for some motivational poster.

That's a nice line. The Kevster, in his home element, doing just the thing he knows how.

WHOA he got a D+ !!! I predicted a D! Nice to be slightly wrong, in this case! ... Ha he also put some party references into the essay. Ya don't DO that, Kevin.

He saw a 'documentary' about frat boys!

Alright, up to Chapter 12. Not gonna read 'em all at once, I want to savor the story.


Chapter 13: That's clever, she's using objects to teach the guy math. Let's see if that works. But sounds like he's still having trouble.

I notice he's looking at the paper clips, trying to use them to solve math problems. Which makes me think: Hey, why not? Why don't schools allow those who have trouble with math to use separate objects, if these objects will help them understand?

Whoa, she's wearing a costume! All to help him learn history.

"As a colonial subject, you will refer to us as King George III." Dammit, I forgot the British accent.

Cute!
