Hi all!
We’re excited to announce that following our brief (read: more than year-long) hiatus, we’re gonna be back tomorrow for another episode of Amateur Sleuth, our Nancy Drew let’s play series! We’ll be streaming from @edgarallanpoe-ldancer ‘s Twitch, so give it a follow if you’re into that, but we’ll also be updating this post with more info closer to time. This go-around we’ll be tackling on Stay Tuned for Danger.
That’s all for now!
Jamie and Sarah

– introducing the nancy drew directory 🔎
Hi everyone! If you follow @detectively , you should have seen the post asking about a Nancy Drew directory and well, hey, look at that, she followed through!
I’m Tessa, and this blog will be used as a service to all things Nancy Drew. In the upcoming weeks, I will try my hardest to make sure all characters, (as well as phone friends), all clue crew blogs, and all fanfiction writers are up on the site. I will also be including links to the original books, screencaps, and periodic updates about Herinteractive (all non-biased and straight from newsletters and their websites).
I hope this website is helpful to you guys – and I need your help:
If you post 90% of Nancy Drew on your blog, please reblog this so I can add you to the masterlist on the website for other people to follow. It’s important that you reblog this post and not just like it, because you might “like” from a main account and if you have sideblogs I won’t be able to determine the right URL (for example, whenever I like posts it shows up as “aphrodvite”, my main blog, though I have several side blogs – and it gets confusing).
Furthermore, if you write fanfiction for the Nancy Drew fandom and you are comfortable with me sharing your work, please message this blog so I can feature you! It is absolutely okay if you don’t want to share or if your work is NSFW – I will be tagging everything accordingly on the website and the navigational panes will reflect all of this (so don’t worry about people stumbling upon anything by accident). Above anything, I want to showcase that we are all talented people and your work is appreciated.
If you have any questions about this blog or have any suggestions about what should be featured, please feel free to message me here or at my main nancy drew blog @detectively .

The Curse of Blackmoor Manor:
Okay, seriously guys, can we just give it up for the graphic design in this game? I don’t care what year this game was made – it’s freaking gorgeous.
