If you could ask Ann a BSC question, what would it be? I personally want to know how in the world one pronounces "Myriah." I actually sent in that question once when there was that "Ask Ann" form on her web site... but she never answered it. Sob. I did too. I think she only answers questions that we all already know the answer to .

Maybe the 'Ask Ann' is a ghostwriter? I personally think Ann would be fairly amused by the 'snark.'

I would love it if Ann found these boards and read all of this stuff, especially the inconsistencies thread.

^ I highly doubt she'd care that much. I'd like to know about some aspects of the character's personalities that DIDN'T make it into the series. I remember reading in some article that was posted here awhile back that Stacey's parents were originally going to be in jail, but that got scrapped. I'd like to know if there was anything else like that.

I'd ask Ann some background questions -- like what really happened with Dawn's parents, the backstory to Kristy's parents' divorce, and most importantly -- who's David Michael's dad? Oh, and why on earth she stopped including the Perkins girls in the later books -- I loved reading about Gabbie.

I think the perkins girls got too old in real life... They're modeled after ann's childhood best friend's kids, which explains a lot.

I would love to know these kind of things as well, and backstories and if ann ever imagined them as adults.

Interesting...considering they were doing a book a month, I'm sure she more than welcomed the help!

I wouldn't mind knowing who her favorite ghostwriters were...although we might be able to guess that by looking at which ones wrote the most books!

The ghostwriter question is interesting. I wonder how it felt having her name on work she didn't write. I don't care if she did do every single outline (not sure if I believe that anyway).

^ Depends on how detailed those outlines were.

Well, a book a monnth (of 150 of those pages) may be a lot of help, but look what ended up getting sacrificed.

I'd like to know if there was anything else like that. Seriously? That's insane! That would have been much more interesting to read about than the divorce, that's for sure! I would ask Ann if she regrets anything about the series, or at least what she'd do differently if she could do it all over again.
