Reminds me of a certain author... Things are getting into full swing here at Her Interactive. The closer we get to Christmas break, the busier it gets! We have so many loose ends to tie up. Message board rules, Venice design elements, holiday Nancy Drew accessories, and general housecleaning.

We've also been very lucky to have Intern Ian (who is actually no longer an intern) helping us out this year. He's worked very closely with me on the Her Interactive and Cody Capers website in addition to a million other things. :) He also happened to be the judge for the Nancy Drew Comparison Essay contest and had a very tough time picking the winner for the picture cameo appearance. I asked him to give our fans some insight into his thought process for the contest, and he actually wrote quite a bit:

"Intelligence, craftiness, and wit are just a few of the many categories we often associate with Nancy. With this contest I wanted to impress some of the same elements into the minds and hearts of all the contestants. I encouraged everyone to learn something new, research all the facts, and create something inspirational. My canvas of choice was comparative essays. Nancy is a hero to all of us, but I wondered if someone real (non-fictional) could embody all, or at least most, of her qualities. Is there or has there ever been, a person among us that could match up to her greatest strengths? That was the heart of this contest..."
