23 Originality
I took off a couple points because there are a couple fanfic that already deal with "Future Daria." However, I thought it was a nifty story, and unpredictable: I never thought Andrea would get as much to do here since she's never in the series much.

20 "Trueness" to the show
No problem here. Interactions between characters are the main thrust of Daria and the ones in the story felt true, especially in the second half. Jane's talk with Daria was touching and it showed the depths of their friendship.

10 Fits the title
Fits the title. Ironically it isn't wonderland for Daria.

15 Spelling, grammer, punctuation
Some missing words in the first half.

20 Humour
Quinn as a waitress, Kevin as a drunk, Mack as a Canadian. Helen going to jail. Li as a crook. Need I forget to add the classic DiMartino scene in part two?

10 Over-all impression
It was a little slow going at first, but when I got to the second half the story just clicked for me. There was a tinge of sadness; you kind of figure that's where Kevin and Quinn will end up. Also I could understand the frustrations of Daria being eternally surrounded by idiots. But in the end it was kind of a wish fufillment, to be able to tell off all the people - probably won't happen in the show. And hey, there's the hope Daria will actually connect with Trent. What more could you ask for?
