How many Nancy Drew blogs are there?

So I’ve always wondered how many blogs there are. Some say around 200 but it’s hard to tell. Yes I know this has been done before, but REBLOG if you have a Nancy Drew blog. PLEASE DO NOT LIKE THIS POST. I know this sounds harsh, but it will change the numbers. I’m pretty sure I’m following every blog out there, but there’s always new ones popping up.

FINALLY.

ITS BEEN 84 YEARS

How Big is the Clue Crew?

Just how many are there of us? I kept thinking the Clue Crew may have been a small fandom of like 200 people that were “active” members but now it seems that its way more.

Reblog if you’re in the Clue Crew (Nancy Drew/HerInteractive fandom)!

This is going to sound so lame but I have always loved the games that feel more grounded in realism. For instance, a part of why I love SSH so much is because of the internship aspect, where there’s a little bit of structure and productive tasks that are relevant to the story but feel like they’d need to be done if you were really brought on to help with an exhibit opening. Or the games where you can order meals, or getting a glimpse at daily life and the insider aspects of the community in River Heights in ASH, or SHA where you’re expected to do chores because they’re necessary to the ranch running, shit like that.

Consigned, except not "interning" in TOT when ur duties consist of listening to whiny mansplainers, moving rodents, and staring at clouds because if I wanted to experience an authentically terrible academic internship I'd just get one in real life and also EFF THAT

[hotdogfuneral]

so there’s some kind of glitch w my ned Nickerson sim and his hygiene and energy levels never go down

he hasn’t slept or bathed in weeks. he just keeps whipping out his bass & playing for tips in empty parking lots in the night

[obscurum-passagium]

[argonauticae]

oooo can I add to this? don’t forget Appalachian folk balladry, the American cousin of Scottish and Irish traditional music and just as uplifting as its Anglo-Saxon highland forbears!!!

The Tennessee Valley Authority Killed All My Sheep Somehow

[shredsandpatches]

Don’t forget that old standby “The Mine Collapsed and Everyone Died”!

I think someone needs to put in a word for the English folk tradition though:

I Met a Girl and We Went Hunting (It Was a Metaphor for Sex)

I Met a Girl and We Caught Some Birds (It Was a Metaphor for Sex)

I Met a Girl and We Found Her Lost Pet (It Was a Metaphor for Sex)

I Met a Girl By Staying At Her Parents’ House and She Made My Bed (It Was an Especially Thinly-Veiled Metaphor for Sex)

I Am a Girl and I Regret Engaging In Metaphors for Sex Because Now I’m Pregnant

I Met a Girl At an Inn and We Had Non-Metaphorical Sex But She Stole My Stuff The Next Morning and Now I Have Syphilis

when u realize that Emily Crandall and family got out of the old pie-making/inn-keeping/being conned out of their money by imposters racket and invested Josiah Crawley’s inheritance into commercial condiment production. #girlboss

I saw a post where someone said you can see Nancy in Secret of the Scarlet Hand. Any idea where I can find a screenshot of this? I want to see her but don't want to replay that game. Also, where else can you see parts of Nancy? I know in CUR you can see her legs when she's being eaten by a giant carnivorous plant.

I don’t think I can remember off the top of my head what that scene is in SSH. I’m sure my followers would know?

In SAW Nancy takes a photo in the photo booth and it comes out all smudged… that’s probably the most we can see of her face!

[notafraidofamouse]

I don’t know about SSH, but in SEA there’s a photo of a girl whom Nancy says “looks like her”, and in LIE you see her from behind in the endgame cutscene.
