Nancy Drew

Nancy Drew is a series of mystery stories featuring the eponymous teenaged detective Nancy Drew. The original series, Nancy Drew Mystery Stories, was published from 1930 to 2003, and was replaced in 2003 by a modernized series called Girl Detective.
There have also been a number of spin-off book series, as well as several film, TV, and video game adaptations.
Nancy Drew is often crossed-over with the Hardy Boys series, also created by Edward Stratemeyer and with which Nancy Drew shared a 1970s television series called The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries. The two series share a single category at FanFiction.Net.
==HerInteractive Computer Games Fandom==
After the first Nancy Drew computer game, Secrets Can Kill, was launched by HerInteractive in 1998, the largest and most vocal portion of Nancy Drew fandom has been for the game canon. This portion of fandom refers to itself as the Clue Crew. From 1998 until 2010, the Clue Crew was most active on the HerInteractive Official Message Boards, but thereafter a significant number of people moved to Tumblr, where there were fewer content and ratings rules in place. A common complaint of Clue Crew members on Tumblr is that the message board Crew members "were too Christian" or "too conservative," as they protested when the 33rd computer game, Sea of Darkness, included the Nancy Drew series' first canonically LGBT character, Dagny Silva. The release of the 34th game, Midnight in Salem, was delayed by over four years from the typical release schedule.
