20 Originality
Although this was a great storyline with the Daria cast, anyone who even casually follows The Simpsons saw this storyline in the chili-eating contest. I kept seeing the scenes with Homer while I read this one. Not a bad effort, and the storyline's still pretty original.

18 "Trueness" to the show
I guess since this is an alternate-reality episode, there's a lot of leeway in the 'trueness' department. But since every character kept their personalities relatively intact, I didn't have a huge problem with it.

15 Spelling, grammer, punctuation
More or less flawless! Nothing jumped out at me. Nice work.

10 Humour
Funny, but I couldn't help thinking of the Simpsons, which sort of killed the mood. Oh well...still very funny. The long dotted spaces were kind of irritating- although they were effective, they put a damper on the action like a long sleeper hold at a pro wrestling match.

9 Over-all impression
Original story, yada yada yada. I liked it, but felt like it was ripping off the Simpsons. It was nice to see Daria tripping out this time with the rest of the family, and I have to comment on the use of Habanero peppers, since this author definetly knows his or her food. Nice work.
