Sorry about that, Chief!
I use the same writing style everywhere I go online partially because of my autism, and partially because I know no other way to write. I like Nancy Drew despite my discomfort over her origin story, which is similar to the one used for the main character of the 1935 film THE UNBORN, Alice. This film is the only one to deal with the topic of involuntary sterilization and was made outside the studio system for the purpose of exploitation. In, it, Alice's foster family agree to be sterilized because they are misfits and criminals of the very first type. Sorry if I caused you any trouble.Glammazon (talk) 14:13, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Public Domain
Think that there ought to be a section stating that Nancy Drew is going to officially start entering Public domain either sometime this year or the next. 118.148.79.224 (talk) 22:25, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
- "either sometime this year or the next." Public Domain Day is always on January 1. If it has not happened yet during this year, then it will not happen until January 2026. Dimadick (talk) 23:22, 15 April 2025 (UTC)
Nancy's age when her mother died
Nancy was not 10 years old in all the earlier stories - it was just in George Waller Jr, who only wrote one Nancy Drew book, writes that Nancy was ten years old when her mother died. In every other book, she was three years old or “very young”. It is currently written: "She loses her mother at the age of ten in the original versions and at the age of three in the later version. This loss is reflected in her early independence—running a household since the age of ten Qatapper (talk) 20:22, 9 September 2025 (UTC)
