9: Daria's Research
Monday 26 March 2018 07:00, CHS, Daria Morgendorffer's POV
"Miss Sparkle," a woman called.
"Yes?"
I'm leaving!
I started running in one direction as fast as I could go, "No! No, no, no, no no!"
I found myself in the school's library, which reminded me of my school's library. It was an open two-floor room with a column in the middle, a desk surrounding it holding twelve picture frames with keyboards and mice. The walls were bookcases, lighting was provided by a glass dome on the ceiling, and there was a photocopier off to the side.
"Where the hell is the card catalog?" I asked myself out loud.
"Can I help you, miss?"
"Where is a catalog?"
She looked at me with a confused expression, "What do you mean?"
"The card catalog? Index listing?" I clarified.
"Oh!" she said, a hand to her head, "Everything's digital. It's on the computer in Seamonkey."
"The only use I have for mine is essays and Doom 3D."
"Hm," she chuckled, "You are oldschool."
"Oldschool?"
"You know, 80s and 90s. When I was your age."
"That refers to Trekkies," I replied, "Yuppies are people from the 80s."
"And 'Retro' refers to the 1960s and 70s for you, Miss Morgendorffer?" a familiar voice said, making me snap around.
When I saw who it was, I nearly peed myself: I was face-to-face with that vampire and what had to be her son. Only this time, their vampire features were recessed, sans each sporting a pair of wings.
"I believe I can help you," she said to me before looking at the librarian, "I believe a rundown of events since the millennium shall suffice Miss Daria's needs, Cheerilee," she looked back at me, "We'll be in my office."
"Yes ma'am, Luna."

If you can help, I'd be glad to have you as an editor. Just say the word, and I'll look for the button to do it.

The thing about Sunset being killed then resurrecting to a vampire is an idea that I thought gave the story more depth.

As much as I would like to, I'm currently swamped with editing works that I still owe.
I also would need to re-watch Daria to fully get what you were aiming for, and I'd need for you to clarify several points that are left unclear - for example, how did Daria end up in future CHS, while Sunset ended up in Nineties Lawndale?
I think the last one is something you could actually do without asistance - as it involves you reviewing what you've done so far, and filling in the blanks.
I hope you keep on writing, though - I want to see where you take this story.
PS: If I manage to clear up my burden, and you haven't got anyone else - I'd be happy to assist you in the endeavor.

Thanks!
I did, just now, try to clear up something. My original thought was "Okay, the portal shouldn't be accessable to 90's Lawndale, so something's haywire with the magic.

Was that 'vampire thing' really necessary?
Did this story suffer much with using standard canon fare?
Those are questions you need to ask yourself - if the whole 'vampire thing' is nothing but an informed ability, then it is nothing but 'clutter' upon your narrative.
And while life is stranger than fiction, and more chaotic - in writing, one must take care to plan things out deliberately while giving the illusion of chaos. Such is the price of good world-building and characterization.

Then it needs to be implied in the previous chapters, as many events come out of nowhere.

Probably a really stupid move, but when I do the chapter for when Daria is in Luna's office, some things are going to be revealed. I have a plan for this that I can only hope people are gonna enjoy.

Fair enough. That is all one can ask.
