Loads of insane unrealistic stuff happened in the BSC super specials, they might as well have had a super special where they went back in time! Ann M Martin (or maybe one of the ghostwriters) seemed to have a fondness for Back to the Future (see Mary Anne's Makeover) and it would have been a cool theme! Where would the BSC members have each ended up?

Hahaha, yeah. The girls are always thirteen anyway, so they could be thirteen in the past just as well.
I'd see Dawn a cavewoman -- very back to nature!! She'd change history by making the cavemen vegetarians.
And I could totally picture Stacey in some pre-revonutional upperclass French time, with the weird wigs and the dresses.
Claudia's outfits would maybe be less weird in the sixties and with her artistic thing she would do good as a hippy.
Mal and Jessi would be cowgirls!! They thought this would enable them to ride horses all the time, but they just got stuck looking after the pigs.
I think Mary Anne would be a simple, normal girl, doing some random work in the city/in the fields and taking care of the kids.
Kristy, however, would be Caesar.

I could even imagine Dawn going to the sixties along with Claudia, because of all the protesting and the hippies and the woman's rights. Also Dawn's long hair and vegitarianism and Claud's painting and dress sense would fit right in! I could see Mary Anne as a little puritan with those bonnets helping on the farm! Also she and Dawn would probably go and see their parents at their high school dance in the 50s... and end up messing things up so that Sharon's parents start to like Richard, giving Sharon their blessing to marry him... threatening Dawn and Mary Anne's own existance! Yep Inge's right, Stacey would probably be one of those women in fancy long dresses and corsets, maybe even boarding the titanic by accident or something! Hmm if she went on titanic, being typical Stacey she'd probably meet some gorgeous guy and fall madly in LUV with him, so a Jack/Rose thing for her ;D Hahaha Jessi and Mal would probably go to the wild west like Inge said... but if they each did a second trip, Jessi would probably go to see a famous ballet dancer, like Pavlova. Mal would go to the time of a famous writer like Shakespeare or Jane Austen and yell at them for telling lies instead of writing about their lives and not being true writers ;D So she'd put them off and their plays/novels wouldn't exist Hehe it would be Mal who'd mess up the space time continuum ;D Kristy would go to the roaring 20s, become a mob boss (scaring the crap out of everyone with her glare) and be the new Al Capone... shooting anyone who's not on time

Oh, come now. Are we forgetting BSC in the USA? Jessi would totally go to a slave plantation and try to free her ancestors. When they wouldn't come with her, she'd think it was because she's black.

Yes and yes. ;D Oh she'd totally visit Great17Grandfather Willy and try to "help" him with his plays. "You should make Romeo Australian, Juliet a redhead and their families actually like each other. I bet people would like it a lot more."

Hehe, I love the Mal and Jessi ones the best so far.
I'd like to think that Mary Anne would go back a few decades, to meet her mother.

I almost dropped from my chair laughing when I read those. Especially Kristy as Caesar, Stacey's Jack/Rose thing and all Mallory and Jessi things...
I would also like to see Mary Anne meeting her mother, thought that might would get kinda over-emotional or something.

Hehe, she'd be bawling the second she laid eyes on her mother, who would be scared and creeped out by this sobbing 13-year old. One of them (Abby maybe?) would go back and be somehow involved in an I Love Lucy episode. Yeah, Abby, because she always makes jokes, and would want to see her comedic heroine, because it's not a BSC book without a forced I Love Lucy reference. And if they're going to go meet family members, how about Claudia in Japan, seeing Mimi as a little girl, probably in chapters rife with historical and cultural inaccuracies. I always liked Claudia and Mimi together.

They would get there in a DeLorean, of course.

I like any time travel ideas because they have to do with history Like Msstock, I'm laughing about Mob Boss Kristy with a cigar in her mouth. I'm seeing MA and Logan as "Ma and Pa Ingalls", Dawn in the 1960s, Jessi debating how involved she should get in the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s or in slave revolts before the Civil War. Mallory and Abby I'm still thinking about. Stacey would have been at Versailles with Marie Antoinette. Shannon, the overachiever, (and maybe Kristy and Dawn) would have been active in the Women's Suffrage movement. This is very interesting... I had forgotten about this thread and it will give me something to think about for a while

This thread makes me wish I could write, because there's a Super Special fanfic just waiting to be written. Especially Kristy as a mob boss. That's pure genius.

You know- we should all do a "round robin" kind of thing with these ideas.
