I have my cart now, so I can go to the library and check out books without having to worry about my arms cramping! I do want to still find my backpack, as that's a little more convenient, even if the cart folds up nicely.

Entire rewrite by someone else
You're gonna have to check the release dates. If the book isn't a century old it's extremely likely it's the rewritten version

Uh, I don't think that would help. They're all translations and cheapo paperbacks, so it only shows the release date of the local version. No idea which one they had as a source. But now that you mention it, I do think the sixties version from my stack is a lot more innocent and tame than the eighties one. I always thought that was an attempt to draw younger readers towards Nancy Drew as well.

i only borrow what i can hold XD keeps me from over-borrowing hahaha

yeah none of my nancy drews were from before the 60's and the ones i have now are 80's. i wouldn't have minded flapper drew XD

I may be getting print dates wrong, but y'all are getting what I mean tho

And idk which version the translations use. Gonna assume if it's later, it used the rewrite

littl3chocobo 02-19-2020 10:54 AM

do you think wiki would know?

Mekatra 02-19-2020 11:16 AM

I should write more... Write a series but use wildly varying styles so no on believes I really wrote all of them.

littl3chocobo 02-19-2020 08:22 PM

seems like a lot of work though, maybe try childrens' books first?

Mekatra 02-19-2020 09:43 PM

I have this crazy dream of one day writing a series of inclusive fairy tales and then doing them all in calligraphy with illumination around the edges, then making a hand bound book out of it.

Hey there Choco!

Kitalpha Hart 02-19-2020 11:57 PM

Just pick a place that has stuff you like and send it in, I assume. Most places have submission guidelines and will say if they take unsolicited stuff.

I have a picture book in mind but I'm not sure how to present it because they don't want pictures (they have their own illustrators) and the pictures are telling a lot of the story. So, do I describe things or just submit the written half?
