Okay, I recently posted at the introduction section, but now I'm here with my big question. First some explanation: I'm from belgium where al the books are translated in dutch of course. But then all the names and places are changed. I'm also a writer (amateur of course) and would like to start writing babysittersclub fanfic in english. But therefor I have to know all the englisch names of the characters. And that I don't now. I'll give you a few examples: Stoneybrook is called 'steendam' centred in Holland. New York where stacey is from is actually Amsterdam. Kristy is named Gertie, Claudia is named Joke, Stacey is named Petra, Mary Anne is named Inge, Dawn is named Betty, Mallory is named Tine, Jessie is still named Jessie, Logan is named Tim, and so it goes on. It even includes all the clients. For example: Jackie the walking disaster (was it that?) is named Jaap de brokkenmaker.
So if there's anyone who wants to give me a full list of the names of all the characters with some information about the characters so that I can link it with my dutch names I would be forever gratefull!! ;D Otherwise I can't write my fanfics in english.
thank you so much in advance for the ones who answer!!
Greetings from Belgium
Jamie

Several of us have been working a BSC wikipedia. It's far from complete, but it'd be a place to start.

wow you are fast in answering and thanks for telling me. But I just checked and it's not really giving all the names of all the characters, just the main ones and I already know them. But thanks for the effort!

There's nothing at that page. here's what it says: There is currently no text in this page, you can search for this page title in other pages or edit this page but the search engine was some helpfull! thx But I also would still like an entire list, I can't really just go buy the book, I doubt I can find it here.

Highlight the url and copy and paste; some of the link didn't... Link properly in the url.
It's true that you wouldn't be able to find the book in Belgium, but you could do a trade or arrange a purchase. The books goes for about 5$ secondhand in the states. Someone who is a very avid collector might want Dutch books, for instance.

And I did think of ebay or something else maybe, but I'm not into internet buying. I just don't trust those things. Plus I don't wanna sell or give these books away cause I still like reading them. I don't even have every book of the serie. I also didn't know there where spin-offs like californian diaries and stuff. So I already missed a lot and don't know everything about the new characters like abby for instance. ...I'm a little high maintenance about these stuff ;D

Hey, we had a poster named Inge, and she was from Netherlands, and her avatar was Mary Anne. It all makes sense to me now...

wikipedia is one site where you can find a list of characters.
