it's true... there really is a conference for everything

The latest [livejournal.com profile] thestraightdope's source is a question from someone who cops to attending a Nancy Drew conference.

I'm still slightly stunned by this fact.

That's a sad story. Why are human beings so stupid?

It's some weird pathology that doesn't let some people recognize different humans as fellow humans. I hope we overcome this someday.

I confess when I read your comment, before reading the article, I thought "What, stunned by the fact that there's a Nancy Drew conference? Or that someone would admit to attending it?"

Ha ha. I suppose i was somewhat vague on that point.

Nancy Drew conference

not nearly as weird as the whole Harry Potter thing.

if you want to argue the point, first present examples of homoerotic Nancy Drew fanfic.

Sure, but Hairy Pooper is fresh. Nancy Drew is older than my dad.

I wonder if there are Nancy Drew genderswitch or furry stories.

[livejournal.com profile] ilanarama just hasn't thought of it yet.

Well, I guess that The Case of the Good-for-Nothing Girlfriend (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1573440752/qid=1122003478/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/102-4985715-5720111) is technically not fanfic. "The Secret in the Squeaky Springs" (http://adultfan.nexcess.net/aff/story.php?no=544178220) would seem to qualify, though.

I sat next to someone on the plane to Reno who was going to a Bonanza conference at the Cartwright Ranch on Lake Tahoe. She wrote actual published books of Bonanza fic.
