The Dionaea house

Y'all have to read this. I can't say if it's real or not--I think I admire it more as a work of fiction, actually. But it's just right for Halloween: the search for a man who disappeared while investigating an old friend who went crazy. Make sure you read the "updates" page once you've finished with the main site--a really interesting LJ is involved. (The LJ is another reason I think it's a work of fiction--it's nicely done, but it's rather convenient that the girl would start the LJ right before the creepy stuff started happening, and it would end within ten entries. A real journal would be--well, it would be someone like you or me, with several months of entries, probably a good number of friends commenting, and then the weird shit starting. But that's way, way involved for someone to just create.) You'll notice that the updates page has updated regularly and it was last updated... yesterday. I have hopes that we might get another update this weekend.


ETA: I've just gotten word that it will be updated soon. Let's not say anything more about that. ;)

*blushes* I'm 19 and I know Nancy Drew... used to be a huuuuge fan. lol

But yeah, apart from me, I don't know anyone who knows ND... :D

Yeah, the mention seemed a little out-dated for someone currently 16 years old. I may be a little out of touch, but I don't remember Nancy Drew books being popular when I was a teenager, let alone now. The misspelling of her last name to "Dru" also seemed too deliberate, you know?

I'm 15 and I know about Nancy Drew...does that count?

But I'm in a minority.

Definitely. Like 'thru', or 'tho'... but 'Drew' isn't an everyday word to be misspelled like that... :)

Me, too! I'm 18, I mean, and I know Nancy Drew. Used to adore those books. And my 14 year old sister knows Nancy Drew and would definitely make that reference, though she hasn't really read them.

But the misspelling was definitely too deliberate (maybe the author didn't want to use Drew because of the connection to Andrew Hughes? Or maybe they just think 16 year olds are stupid).

LOL! It's just a stereotypical view on how a teenager might spell, and they're clinging to it... *shrugs* Lol 'Dru'... that made me laugh! lol
