as always, I'd love to hear your answer in the tags, especially if it's one of the "other" choices!

I love you people who are unapologetically fans of niche, obscure or old things

To every artist, writer, or blogger out here making art, stories and posts about the books I loved in middle school, the shows I loved as a child, the random bands I like, obscure video games, old camp bad movies, and anything else niche, weird and obscure I love you. Wether you’re writing fanfiction, making art, headcannons, AUs, or just shitposting I’m kissing you lovingly on the forehead and listening to you intensely

HOT TAKE TOURNAMENT

POST PRE PRELIMINARY #96

Submission 148

Death Note is a gritty remake of Encyclopedia Brown

Genius teen using his position as the son of the chief of police to solve/commit crimes? Lady sidekick who serves as his muscle? Absolutely absurd leaps of logic? It all makes sense

Pre-preliminaries will be used to determine what qualifies as a hot take. Propaganda is encouraged!

Also, remember to reblog your favourite polls for exposure! (exposure like when you’re exposed to the Death Note Netflix series)

hey friends help a girl build her corpus

i’m doing a final project in university on detective fiction--specifically detective fiction NOT like Sherlock Holmes or Murder at the Rue Morgue. The point of this project is to analyze stories where the READER is given enough information to figure out who did it. They don’t have to be murder mysteries, no overarching plots please. 

I’m trying to build a corpus, so books with hard copies are fine, but I would prefer ones that are also available online for free or online in a .txt format for easier conversion into my tagging software. Specifically non-child-lit is preferred since I already have the whole selection of Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, and Encyclopedia Brown, and I find that child-lit are much easier to find on internet archive.

I will have a budget for this project, but that’s all coming out of my own pocket, so it’s really a budget. Books that are in public domain/free are very much preferred. 

Story recs of minority authors welcome! 

rbs appreciated!

I LOVED ENCYCLOPEDIA BROWN I SOLVED A TON OF THOSE

HOLY SHIT SOMEONE ELSE KNOWS THEM! <3

i've not met anyone else of my generation who does. even significantly older millennials i've mentioned them to didn't know them

let alone someone who was not yet born when i read them for the first time lol

i was obsessed with them. they scratched my brain in all of the best ways.
