High five for the Hamilton reference! Also, yes we do!
I am thinking about how Tracy interpreted the question and if I have a favorite season to set my stories in. Judging by the last five stories I've finished, I would say fall because three out of five of them were set then. Fall is my personal favorite season, so that makes sense. But really, I usually base the timing of my stories around what works best with the Boys' schedules, since most of my stories are based more or less in reality.

They've been enjoying a well-deserved break. I'm hoping Billy will come out of hibernation this weekend to get me going on a new story, but we'll see. Maybe Bob will give Rose some inspiration while Billy's resting.

Tracy, I enjoyed both of these series as a kid too. Along with Babysitters Club, Goosebumps was my favorite! Do you remember your favorite book from each series?
I feel like my favorite Boxcar Children was The Yellow House Mystery, although I can't really remember why or even what it was about at the moment LOL. That's just the title that popped into my head. Gonna have to look that up. I also always enjoyed the very first book in the series.
My favorite Goosebumps was a tie between One Day at Horrorland and The Cuckoo Clock of Doom. I have an old short story called Seduction of Evil about AJ being turned into a vampire that I feel is Goosebumps-esque LOL.

Stacey was my favorite; I wanted to be her, but really I was more of a Mary Anne or Mallory. Did you watch the new Netflix series that came out last summer? It was SO good!! I binge-watched the whole thing in one sitting LOL.

Stacey, Dawn, and Claudia were my favorites, but back then I also thought I was more of a Mary Anne or a Mallory. I think I've become a bit more Stacy over the years, though.
I didn't! I've been meaning to watch it though. I'll binge it soon and we can discuss.

I'm money on my references lately.
I don't think I ever explicitly state the time of year. PBox is definitely Springish. I can't remember if Gobosei mentions location at all, but if it was good old CO, then when it was Never Gone time frame, it would have been late summer and when I switched it to Millennium, it would have been Halloween. Beta Sigma Beta was definitely Halloween. So... Halloween is the season I set most of my stories around, apparently, haha.
Sending good vibes to both of you!

My favorite Goosebumps book is One Day At HorrorLand as well, especially the Doom Slide. I also loved the one that was a choose your own adventure. Escape From the Carnival of Horrors.
My favorite Boxcar Children book is a toss up between Mystery Cruise and Surprise Island.
I never read The Babysitter’s Club but I read the spin off of that where it was the little sisters of the Baby Sitters Club. I also read Fear Street, one of my favorites of that series being this story where the main character’s family is sold to a town that is run by dogs.
