I was pretty desperately geeky and unhip back then, too (I still kinda am, actually. Heh.) I'm amused that I described myself in the past-tense because I still am kind of geeky and unhip as well! I am impressed by your NKOTB obsession, I get like that and want to collect everything related to my obsession.
You and femmenerd will have a blast at WriterCon!! I'd mostly want to go to meet fandom people, so I probably won't need much enticing. As long as people say it was fun, I'll want to go!!
Kristy definitely had the most consistent characterization and was rarely flaky, she was so practical. I liked one of the books later on in the series when she decided she wasn't ready for a boyfriend (I'm so convinced she's a lesbian, although that could be wishful thinking). Mary-Anne, in particular, could be very wishy-washy. Claudia's grandmother was very cool! I was also entertained by Janine (is that Claudia's sister's name?).
I've read most of this hysterical and well-done Babysitters Club/BtVS crossover (I keep forgetting to read the rest of it). It parodies the books really well, here (http://community.livejournal.com/tall_poppies/11739.html) is a link to the rec about the fic if you're interested (just the excerpt in the rec is hysterical).
