Yuletide 2018

This year, the fandom I matched on was an old book series called The Three Investigators. The original books were written by several different authors over a period over roughly 20 years, with the main characters being stuck in a sort of eternal present. Apparently, after they stopped publishing them entirely in the US, a German publisher got the rights and has been publishing new stories in German, as the fandom is - really big in Germany?

Anyway, I’ve only ever read the original books and only the ones translated to Danish, so my canon review involved getting hold of some of the English language originals. It’s funny, reading the books in English gave me a somewhat different experience than reading them in Danish - for instance, the three boy detectives have a secret headquarters at a junkyard, and in Danish I’ve always imagined them hanging out in something like this,  except the English version made me think of a mobile home like those you find in trailer parks, aka something bigger and more intended for actually standing on the ground as a small house. Funny that.

Anyway, the story I wrote this year:
