So after reading the amazing-ness that is Viva Las BSC, I decided that I needed to do my own take on a Super Special too. In this one, the BSC is shipping up to Boston!
I was going to put this in the Fic forum, but I thought it would fit better here because I need some help. I want to fit as much Super Special cliches in this fic as I can. I don't write serious that well, so this is going to be a full out satire/humor fic.
What Super Special cliches can you think of? Or what stuff tended to happen in pretty much every Super Special?
I'll start us off - they always ended up babysitting, despite being on vacation!

There must be a fight between two sitters over something petty.
Mallory must be a dork and spy on people and write in her journal instead of seeing the sites and having fun.

LOL good, I was having a hard time thinking of something for Mallory to do. And what is her obsession with spying? If she wants to be like Harriet M. Welsch, it didn't turn out good in the end for her! Janie stole her notebook and everyone got mad at her!

There's always someone who gets sick, hurt, lost, or something dramatic like that.

Striking up unlikely friendships (e.g. grumpy old man Rudy Staples).

One of them MUST find a reason why they need to keep a diary of their entire trip, and force every member to contribute diary entries.

End up babysitting for some random, local kid who will never be heard from again.

At the end of the book, there must be an exchange of letters between the random local kid and the BSC member that sat for him/her.

Mallory should go to Concord to the Alcotts' home.

Mallory should go to Concord to the Alcotts' home. I was going to have her visit the House of Seven Gables in Salem because I'm more familiar with it, but I'll see about working that in! These responses are great! |

^They actually saw the House of Seven Gables in Fright Night. Mal was on that trip; I forget if she saw it or if other BSC members did...

They have to go there for a special reason, with the trip being paid for one of four ways:
1)Watson
2)Baby-sitting services
3)School-sponsored
4)Pay half

Well, read it like 13 years ago lol. And greer, yes, Watson is paying for part of it  I'll post what I've thought of so far in the Fan Fic thread! |
