[edit] Tidbits

Someone's registered her name on Thefacebook, though it has now been removed, thanks to Facebook's new fascist policy on "fake names." Thanks to someone else, there's even a facebook group crossing her and Baudelaire, called The Greatest Trick Nancy Dye Ever Pulled Was Convincing the World She Didn't Exist.
Someone has also registered her name on Oberwiki.
