I am going to use this thread to update people as to what is going on with Charmed: Heritage and the other series on this site when relevant. It might be helpful to bookmark the thread if you want to get updates before an email is sent out as emails will be sent out less frequently then this thread will be updated. If you have any questions about the progress of the stories, feel free to ask them here. Any other posts not related to the progress of the stories on this site will be delete. With that out of the way, here is my first update in this thread. As it has been a long time since the stories have been updated, I want to assure you that they are still in the works. I have several chapters of "Something in the Water" more or less written, but the next chapter is giving me trouble. I found the pieces of it that I have previously written and I believe I will be able to get them done soon. I will not define soon, but I I think I am safe in guessing it will before the end of the month. To give you an idea of how things are going, the next chapter is 20. 21 is ready for editing. 22 is ready for editing. 23 is mostly written, possibly completed. 24 is either half done or completed (depends on if a second scene is written. I suspect it won't be, because the chapter has more impact without the second scene.) Chapter 25 is, I think completed and ready for editing. 26 is partially completed. Chapter 27 might be completed. Chapter 28 is about half done. Chapter 29 has a little written. Chapter 30 has a little written. Chapter 31 has a little written. Chapter 32 is partially written. Chapter 33 is completed. And that's the rest of the story (unless something weird happened). In addition to those chapters, there are two additional stories connected to this one. One is a short story taking place between chapters 32 and 33. It works better as a stand alone story and will be posted on the same day as Chapter 33 is all goes well. It is maybe a third completed. The other one is a longer story that happens at the same time as "Something In the Water". This story will start posting at the same time as "Chapter 33" is posted. It is not complete, but there is a lot written for it. If you need something to read in the Charmed: Heritage world in the mean time, check out Nexandvinny's Raindrops which is her Charmed: Heritage fanfic. It takes place during "Something in the Water" and is more or less canon for the series. She has a lot of other stories that I'm sure you will enjoy seeing in time, but for now they are a little hidden due to the fact that she's pretty much privy to all of Charmed: Heritage's secrets and uses them when needed. As those secrets are revealed, you will get the chance to read them.

There will be updates for the character profiles, but I will not be worring about those until I can at least post a new chapter of "Something in the Water". I have a lot of stuff to add. I have cast most of the Richmond family and have partial profiles for them. Some characters already up will be needing a death date soon and a lot of characters have grown since their profiles were written.
The plan is to have twenty-two episodes in Season One of Charmed Heritage. With the two two-parters that number had changed to twenty-four, but due to various things the episodes in season two and the end of season one had to be rearanged and now there are twenty-two episodes, again. In addition to the episodes there are at least three nonepisodes, two connected to "Something in the Water" and one connected to "Just Imagine". "Just Imagine" is the episode after the one after "Something in the Water". Two of these nonepisodes are sort of like "Charmed: Heritage" "movies", while the other one is like a short.

For an official update: I located some more partial scenes written over the last several months. They conflict with some stuff already typed up, but there is stuff in them that I want to use, so I am working on incorporating them. This has led to at least two additional chapters and a couple of rather surprising developements for a couple of the characters. It has also allowed me that chance to delve more into the personalities of some of the Richmond Warlocks. I am quite pleased with this opportunity. Still working on getting that next chapter ready.
I guess "something weird happened" to paraphrase what I said above, because my original last scene is no longer even part of my last chapter. An epilogue had to be added on due to some events that occured. This might even allow me to use a scene I wrote but had to throw out due to an inability to find a place where it fit.
Hoping to have more concrete news for you soon, but lately I am mostly able to write on the weekends, which is also the only time I have to read and watch TV and play video games and also seems to be the time when I am asked to babysit my adorable niece or my brother comes home and wants to spend time with me. Writing wins over the first list, but not the second list. I am still hoping to have the next chapter up by the end of the month and I am getting closer. I think I'm probably two thirds done with it.

I am waiting for you to update Charmed Heritage. After reading over the episodes and comments I see that their might be some future sparkage between Chris and Emily, might I be correct?

Every time I try to read something in the water I can never do it because it says I don't have access to that page. Do you know why?

Heather - There is something between them, but whether or not it is of a romantic nature, I am not going to say. That's one of my secrets. All I can say for now is keep reading. It will be revealed in time.
Matriarch Goddess - At the moment, no. I will work on it in time. I have some things that are not posted, but right now my main focus is trying to get "Something in the Water" completed . . . or at least updated. Although when I have an update I will probably have almost all the rest of it completed since most of it is finished. It's just the next chapter and one or two others giving me issues.
phoenixhalliwell - I'm not sure. I know I have it set so that the newest episode (in this case "Something in the Water") is only accessable by members. Where you signed in when you tried to read it? If you weren't that might be the problem. If you were, let me know and I will see if I can figure out what's wrong.

Thanks, I can read it now. I hope you update the story soon. Glad to hear it. And the next chapter is coming along. It is one of those chapters where I had a vague idea of what it was going to be, but now it's really shaping into something I like. I have to connect the two parts of the chapter I have and finish it and then reread it so that I can be sure that it doesn't look to jumbled since there are pieces of at least three attempts to write the same thing in there. In the mean time, I'd love to hear what everyone thinks of the chapters currently up.

I was hoping to have this ready by the end of the month, but that's today/tomorrow depending on where you are and there is so much left to be written. I have a lot of little pieces to connect to. I might be able to get it done, but I'm not going to bet on it. The current word count for the chapter is 2,320 words, which is a lot longer than most of my chapters, so you are in for a nice long read when I do manage to post it. I'm still aiming for very soon. With the way my ability to write goes lately, I'm thinking maybe this weekend. I'll try for sooner.

Soon I hope. I made the mistake of picking up a game controler a week ago. Yeah. I have written some . . . this chapter is proving much longer than I originally though.
I've managed to get back to the computer screen a little bit more today. There are several pieces to connect and some of them aren't connecting as smoothly as others.

My last word count for you was 2,320. I am now at 4,215 and this chapter still has a lot going on. There is no good place to divide this at present, so please be patient with me a bit longer. Knives are flying. Blood is flowing. Heads are rolling. This will get done.

I'm sorry this is taking so long. I have been making progress, but this chapter just seems to want to keep going. It's given me a few more surprises. I am now at a word count of 5,654 and most likely I will be dividing this up into at least two chapters, not sure where exactly, but things need to fit together and there are still fragments needing to be connected.
On the upside when this is posted, whether it is posted as a complete chapter or as multiple, you will have a lot of reading, because it will all be posted on the same day. Once that is done I will need to make a few minor changes to the next chapter due to the events of this one and I will be posting it soon after as it is completed.

I closed two more of the gaps, today. I think there are only two more, plus the ending of the chapter, all of which could be any length. Progress is being made. Soon I will be able to share this with you, I hope. Considering how off I was with my last prediction I will not try another one, but I am definitely making progress.

Terribly sorry that this is taking so long. At the moment the chapter I am working on is looking like it will be about three chapters long. And none of those chapters are completely done. I have about four holes to fix between pieces of scenes. I will try and see if maybe I can get you a preview of things to come for this story, since I can't seem to get you a completed chapter quite yet. It is over nine thousand words and twenty-six pages on Word, so wwhen it does come there will be a lot of it.

Here is a preview from an upcoming chapter. Due to the way things with the current chapter are going, the number is likely to change, but currently it's chapter twenty-one. "Everyone's sorry," Alanna retorted, feeling annoyed at the oft repeated words. Sorry helped no one. "Everyone's sorry, but no one does anything. No one knows how to fix it." Sarcasm dripped in her voice as she asked, "Do you?"
"I might," was the soft reply.
"Huh?" Hank stared at him dumbfounded.
"You might?" Alanna repeated dumbly before catching herself and asked, "Then, why haven't you told anyone?"
"I did," he informed her, his face relaxing visibly. Decades seemed to ease off his face with those two works, making Alanna wonder how old he was. "I did," he repeated, "but she couldn't fix it, only delay it." Here's another preview from an upcoming chapter. A little insight into the mind of Ladybug: They walked in silence for several minutes, but by the time they reached Franki's inner sanctum, Ladybug could hold her tongue no longer. "So tell me about your ex."
"My ex is dead."
"From this?" Ladybug looked at her concerned.
"No."
"Not your ex, huh?" Ladybug shook her head. "Then, who on earth is it."
"You are way too nosy."
"You can ask questioned about me," Ladybug offered. "I'll answer."
Franki was silent as she considered this. Finally, "What about your ex?"
"One in Cambridge," Ladybug told her. "The other's in the ground."
"You seem unemotional about that," Franki frowned.
"We 'dated' when we where six," Ladybug informed her. "I hadn't seen him since his family moved when we were eight. He died at twelve, car accident."
"You still seem rather unemotional," Franki observed.
"I'm not," Ladybug assured her. "I just can't think about my feelings right now or I'll break. My parents have been missing for months. My sisters need me to be strong. My uncles are dying. My cousins and aunts need me to be strong. Thousands are dead, more by the minute. I'm not the only one that can save them, but I have to do what I can. I have to do my part. And to do that, I need your help." Here's another preview after Ladybug returns to the manor. Not much I can say about it except I adore that Bunny. "You said Ladybug's back," Paige commented as she glanced around. "Where is she?"
"Downstairs hopefully not waking Hope like she woke me," Chris interjected. "I was actually getting a decent amount of sleep and suddenly there was this large object landing on me."
"I'm not that large," Ladybug protested as she reentered the attic. "Oh, good you're back, Aunt Paige. I think something's wrong with Hope."
"Wrong?" Paige's eyes filled with concern as she started for the stairs.
Ladybug held up two pieces of paper. "She said a talking bunny gave this to her."
Paige skidded to a stop and stared at her niece. "A what?" Here's the last piece of a scene I am giving you guys. I won't say when it is and I definitely won't say what comes next, but here's an upcoming conversation: Prue started as her phone rang. She gulped. "That's Pat. I told her to call if something changed with Andy." She pulled out her phone and stared at it as if it was a snake.
"It's going to be good news," Piper told her, her words almost wistful.
Paige grabbed the phone out of Prue's hands. "Hello?" All scenes are subject to change until the time that they actually get posted. Hopefully this will tide you over while I am trying to get this next chapter finished. And when it is finished, I have a LOT of stuff to share, because this episode is nearly complete. It's just this chapter and another that are giving me issues.

Good news! The first piece of this chapter is with my beta. It will be the official chapter twenty. The next piece has only one whole to plug before it will be ready send in, too. It will be the official chapter twenty-one. The other is not yet complete and has at least two large holes to fill, so it might still be a while, but at least the first two shouldn't take too long.

I am formatting chapter twenty "Elisa" right now for you to read. It should be up within half an hour unless I run into a snag. Since I haven't heard from my beta yet, I will hold off on posting chapter twenty-one for a day or two, but it will be posted very soon as well.
