So is this series really over? - User:KinseyLOL
Does anyone know why the series ended? Was it just because of falling sales numbers? If so, was the FF series just an attempt to bring in more mature readers? SKS2K6 07:17, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
I think it was because the plots got significantly worse since the mid-90's. KinseyLOL 14:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
Possibly also because the original readers were preteens when the series started, and we were into adulthood when it concluded. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.17.122.75 ( talk) 22:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Clearly, the Friends Forever Series ended the BSC-for good.
Maybe there should be a trivia section in this article. Somebody had added something about the Perkinses being based on Ann's real-life friend, but there was no citation or section devoted to that. Skankage ( talk) 19:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)skankage Skankage ( talk) 19:44, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
When were these books written? ShadowWriter 22:02, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
I think that this page should be added to the BSC page, after all, it's a known abbreviation to Baby-sitters Club fans. Thoughts? ( chicken queen 00:58, 26 January 2007 (UTC))
I changed the Wikipedia link on the word "ghostwritten" in the intro so that it links to "ghostwriter" (explaining what a ghostwriter is, not the television show) instead of where it linked previously (a title of a book called Ghostwritten). Fieryrogue 23:34, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:Babysittersbookcoverset.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:32, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
I noticed in the usual books, there are eight narrarators in total. Am I the only one who noticed Mal and Jessi have less then anyone? (Except Abby, with 3 books, but she's way newer, she doesn't count.) Why do they have less? And why did Mal leave? I know she was irritated, but why'd Ann write that to Mal, instead of the thirteen year olds with plenty of books to spare? (Also, I can list Mal's books from her first to at least 100, about. 14-21-29-39-47-59-68-80. Does it sound like she likes Mallory?)
Mal and Jessi were the junior members, and didn't come intoe ethe series until 14# Hello Mallory. I assume Mal was written out because there were very few ways they could expand her character. We rarely see what Mal writes. Also, her negative attitude, particularly towards her family, may have meant that Mal's books didn't sell as well as some of the others. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.17.122.75 ( talk) 22:44, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
The section on the general structure of the books seems to be missing chapter 8.
* Chapter 3-4; 6-7; 10-12: Continuation of the main plot * Chapters 5, 9, & 13: Sitting experiences of members

I think it's interesting that it still has fans. There's still fanfiction and blogs and livejournal communities about it.

Does anyone know where to find good BSC fanfics? Especially romances, but not slash? The internet is devoid of good BSC fanfics; fanfiction.net is really suckish. So, any suggestions? 71.72.129.4 ( talk) 00:13, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
What, no mention of Daffodil and Clover? Also, this: http://shelf-life.ew.com/2010/04/02/a-night-with-the-creator-of-the-baby-sitters-club-ann-m-martin/ 24.189.90.68 ( talk) 22:40, 3 April 2010 (UTC)
That page will show that there was a statement about the majority of the series being ghostwritten. It was removed, despite there being ample sources. There was no discussion about it's removal, it was just taken out. I'm putting it back in. If anybody has an objection, please discuss it here. 75.223.142.94 ( talk) 00:52, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
Ghostwriters are acknowledged at the beginning of BSC books, and I’ve found a list of them here, and I’d like to ask a few questions. Should we list the ghostwriters—and the illustrators, like Joel Iskowitz—here and/or next to the books in List of The Baby-sitters Club novels and List of The Baby-sitters Little Sister novels? And should we add Jeanne Betancourt, Gabrielle Charbonnet, Ellen Miles, and Suzanne Weyn to Category:The Baby-Sitters Club, if Peter Lerangis is already there? What about Raina Telgemeier or David Levithan? Thanks in advance! -- Kletta ( talk) 21:37, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
I've added a section about BSC software, but Wikipedia refuses to let me allow any fair use stills inside the game. I did try. -- Kbbbb ( talk) 12:39, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
The Baby-Sitters Club Wiki has an article titled Audio Books on Cassette Tape. From its pictures of j-cards, it seems these were adaptations with many actors in each audiobook, some of whom have Wikipedia articles. I guess Nicole Leach, who played Jessi in the TV series, also voiced her in Mary Anne and Camp BSC and Farewell, Dawn, but maybe the Megan Andrews who voiced Kristy isn’t the same person as the Meghan Andrews who played Mallory in the TV series? -- Kletta ( talk) 16:29, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
