UPDATE FROM CARINA: I edited the title of the thread to reflect this is now a brainstorming thread. I'll post my completed episodes into another thread. Thank you Es for suggesting it, since so far, lots of planning is occurring in here.
CARINA SAID: Hi guys, I've been working on my two-part pilot of my series inspired by Elemental Charmed and reading the first teaser of CCDOW. I decided to start my own thread. Would anybody like a sneak preview. This is really only the first stage, so it might change. But, I like the way I started this, and don't think it is going to change too much. Without further ado. I present to you "The Power of Five".

But I understand you wanting to finish up some of your own replying, and I hope you do that first, before reading this. What I'll do now, is go back and read more Elemental Charmed. And then, see if, I can plot more of my series. I might also have to transfer some of our conversations on my series to this thread when I have time.

What a surprise Carina, you are doing one too.
I feel like a child at Christmas, with so many presents to open and enjoy.
My brain is still trying to process Elemental Charmed's pilot episode and Classic Charmed: What Could've Been's First Season. So as much as I'd love to read it, I'm going to save it for another day. Only so many things I can read at once.
But, I'm really looking forward to it, when I do.

Your right, we do have so many wonderful presents waiting to be opened here, with all the stories, Virtual seasons and FanFics here. I look forward to seeing what you think of it, when you do. And so happy to hear you got to read Elemental Charmed's pilot episode press release and Es' Classic Charmed: What Could've Been's First Season, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

CARINA SAID: Hi guys, I've been working on my two-part pilot of my series inspired by Elemental Charmed and reading the first teaser of CCDOW. I decided to start my own thread. Would anybody like a sneak preview. ES SAID: Oh, yes, you better believe I’d LOVE a sneak preview!!! --------------- CARINA SAID: This is really only the first stage, so it might change. But I like the way I started this, and don't think it is going to change too much. ES SAID: *nods* Gotcha. But glad you know that you might end up changing it a little, especially after you read my edits. I never change a story – that’s up to the writer – but I do like making it read smoother. My very best friend in junior high was my English teacher and she taught us how to do this. Just remember that although it’s based on other stuff I’ve edited, I KNOW that this version is YOUR version! ALL of my edits are just suggestions. If at any point you don’t like how I change something, you’re always welcomed to change them back and I’ll stick to what you make it. Hope that will be okay with you. For that matter, if you prefer your version to mine, feel free to let me know and I won’t try editing anything else of yours, no matter how much my fingers will be itchy to do so! -------------- CARINA SAID: Without further ado. I present to you "The Power of Five". ES SAID: Looks to me like it's NOT "The Power of Five" but "House of Halliwell". Either would work fine for your title, but you really should stick to just one. If you decide to use "House of Halliwell" instead, you should edit your subject of your thread. -------------- But for now, in my edit, I'm going to change it to what you have in your subject... I kinda like “The Power of Five” since it makes me think it’s a combination of The Power of Three and “Party of Five”. -------------- I’m also going to have fun casting your pilot. If you don’t like what I do, feel free to change it. AND if you’d prefer doing what we did with EC (TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, etc.) feel free to change them to that. Also note that I took out your mention of ages. That can come up in Deadline articles, but not one like this, especially when I’m including the names of the actors. But if you want to take out the name and keep in ages, then be consistent and say exactly how old everyone is, or say approximately how old everyone is, not both.
OOOH, I really, REALLY like it and am sorry that you stopped here – I really want you to keep going. I decided to give a present that might help you even more, especially with the next part. Even before we started actually writing EC, we came up with a backstory. I’ll admit that it will act as a spoiler for you reading EC, but with you writing this, I really feel like you should read that backstory. You may end up wanting to do your own before you really get going on this. As always, if you want to use any of our ideas for your own, go for it! And something like this is the perfect way to reveal their ages…

This is very good. I guess the Power Of Five is because both Patty and Penny are still alive here.
And Victor still pretty much part of his daughter's lives. In fact, they go by his last name, Bennet, instead of Halliwell.
Carina, I see you've joined the growing talent we have going here.

CARINA SAID: Thanks, Tim. I felt inspired to do my own, and this will really keep me busy. And Phoebeville said it perfect, it is like opening up Christmas presents with all our talented writers and stories.

My very best friend in junior high was my English teacher and she taught us how to do this.

ALL of my edits are just suggestions. If at any point you don’t like how I change something, you’re always welcomed to change them back and I’ll stick to what you make it. Hope that will be okay with you. For that matter, if you prefer your version to mine, feel free to let me know and I won’t try editing anything else of yours, no matter how much my fingers will be itchy to do so! CARINA SAID: Thanks, and I'll see the edits you made now. -------------- CARINA SAID: Without further ado. I present to you "The Power of Five". ES SAID: Looks to me like it's NOT "The Power of Five" but "House of Halliwell". Either would work fine for your title, but you really should stick to just one. If you decide to use "House of Halliwell" instead, you should edit your subject of your thread. CARINA SAID: And this is why you are the perfect editor for noticing this. And in my word document, I did have the title as "The Power of Five" and the way I had it in my thread. But, I did go back and forth over the title. I must have just forgotten to fix it in my press release to how I want it now. Thank you for reminding me. -------------- ES SAID: But for now, in my edit, I'm going to change it to what you have in your subject... I kinda like “The Power of Five” since it makes me think it’s a combination of The Power of Three and “Party of Five”. CARINA SAID: Thanks, me too. I really think it fits. I'm inspired to become Pheebs, and have my own Deadline article and say the writers were inspired by Party of Five with the title, or The WB wanted a show that was a mix of Party of Five and The Craft, when Connie pitched the series to the WB, it going from a show of four roommates in Boston to five Halliwells in Salem. -------------- ES SAID: I’m also going to have fun casting your pilot. If you don’t like what I do, feel free to change it. AND if you’d prefer doing what we did with EC (TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, etc.) feel free to change them to that. Also note that I took out your mention of ages. That can come up in Deadline articles, but not one like this, especially when I’m including the names of the actors. But if you want to take out the name and keep in ages, then be consistent and say exactly how old everyone is, or say approximately how old everyone is, not both. CARINA SAID: Thanks Es. I look forward to reading it, and yes, I can up add that in Deadline Articles. Good suggestion, because I haven't really got my ages 100% accurate yet, otherwise I should do approximately, not both. Thanks for helping me with you editing tips. So looking forward to reading your edits now.
CARINA SAID: And I'm so happy you corrected the title of show and episode to how I wanted it. A good thing you spotted it. This reads better than mine. CARINA SAID: And, I'm so impressed with how you edit, you make it read smoother. So I'm thinking I'll likely update my own word doc now with this. CARINA SAID: And again, this is so good. Your a natural at editing. -------------------- (Note by Carina: This would be where we lead into the opening credits, following by guest credits, but that isn't needed in a press release, but wanted to give you an idea of how I did the teaser)
ES SAID: Oh, this would be a great spot for the opening credits! I LOVE your teaser!! It’s a great combination of the beginnings of EC and CCDOW!
CARINA SAID: Thank you. I had so much fun with making it work.
----------------- CARINA SAID: Thank you, I really like the change you did here, with Phoebe wanting to cram for another one tomorrow, than talking to a friend. Wish I thought of that, I just needed an excuse for her to go upstairs, so Victor can whisper about Phoebe's birthday when he came home. This is better. CARINA SAID: I liked that you added the extra part of you’ll jinx it!. CARINA SAID: Another edit that reads better. [/quote]CARINA SAID: And I'm at the end, and I can now say officially, my word doc is updated with this one. ES SAID: OOOH, I really, REALLY like it and am sorry that you stopped here – I really want you to keep going. CARINA SAID: Thanks Es, and I'll let you know right now, I HAVE kept going. So I'm not going to bother to ask, if you want more. I'm sure that is a yes, so I'm going to share more. I'm also going to post my little notes, I did, that are just ideas, I hope you like them, as I could really use some pointers on if I'm on the right track. I see you have a present for me, so I'll respond to it too, after I share more of my story. CARINA: Here is more Es.
ES SAID: I decided to give a present that might help you even more, especially with the next part. Even before we started actually writing EC, we came up with a backstory. I’ll admit that it will act as a spoiler for you reading EC, but with you writing this, I really feel like you should read that backstory. You may end up wanting to do your own before you really get going on this. As always, if you want to use any of our ideas for your own, go for it! And something like this is the perfect way to reveal their ages… CARINA SAID: I do love presents, so this is exciting. I'm looking forward to this, as it might hep me writing this and get my backstory in order. Because, I do have some ideas, but I'm not sure what to do. I was hoping to use Nicholas as their first warlock, but was thinking when they moved back to the manor in Salem, Nicholas could appear as he always does every year, same time and then learn the sisters have their powers now. This might really be useful, so thank you. CARINA SAID: I really love this backstory, it really does set up the story well, and gives me some ideas. CARINA SAID: Now, I have some inspiration for how to handle Patty's other daughter. CARINA SAID: WOW, this backstory is just amazing, my mouth open with shock. I wished I was in EC mode, so I could react like I would with EC, but this does help. I just thought of another crazy idea. Could the fourth sister that they believe died, end up being raised by demons, so Peyton or Paige or whoever I name as Patty's other daughter get Christy's storyline from Season Eight. So nobody knows she is alive, and was saved in the fire by someone. CARINA SAID: I love this backstory. This is very good. CARINA SAID: And I'm so glad you had them visit during summer vacations, because it means the Woogyman story can remain intact in mine, so one summer they visited, Phoebe encountered it as a child. Then Penny can tell her about her childhood fears about the basement in the present of season one, or Patty can, I actually prefer it being her mother. CARINA SAID: What a cool story. This really helps me Es, I'm happy to have read it and been shared it by you. So thank you. (ES SAID: Yup, you can see how that became the plot of our pilot, but we kept the story of Peyton secret until Piper and Phoebe discover the truth about their dead cousin.) CARINA SAID: I really love that secret, it was well worth reading it. CARINA SAID: I so want to write one like this. I love reading this, and still love her as the healer using her skills along with potions to heal her family's injuries. CARINA SAID: Like I said, I love reading this. And you know how I feel about the Warrens jobs, they are so good and useful and you guys really made me love them. CARINA SAID: And I love this. CARINA SAID: I love this power for Piper, and the way you describe her. [/quote]CARINA SAID: And I love Phoebe Warren, and working at the paper, and her powers. You really got the backstory for the stars down well.
ES SAID: What we say happened to our Paige could easily happen to your Patty, making Peyton their half-sister (it’s what inspired doing that in Saturday’s CCDOW) CARINA SAID: And, I really have to agree, it really has inspired me for how I can do Peyton their half-sister. Wondering, if I could: A. Peyton believed killed in the fire and then raised by demons to become the Christy 0r B. Peyton is not killed in the fire, but Penny and Patty want that story as a cover, so her father won't find her, so she was adopted out for protection, and they did some spell so everyone forgets, and to keep her safe. So we meet her later in the series. -------------------- ES SAID: , I got so excited about this that I totally forgot to ask what you though of my editing. Remember, I will NOT be upset if you don’t like it – whether you want me to keep doing this is totally up to you. CARINA SAID: As I mentioned above, I loved them so much, I already updated my word document with it. So, if you have time, I'd love to see what editing you do next, since you really have made things more readable, and helped so much. ----------------- ES SAID: Now I’m going to go edit the two CCDOW ‘Witch Trial” press releases. I’ll check on this tomorrow morning. CARINA SAID: I wish you good luck with that. And hope, you find this in the morning to read and enjoy. -------------- ES SAID: Again, congratulations on the fantastic start! I would not have given you our backstory if I didn’t like it so much. CARINA SAID: Thank you. I feel inspired more to keep going. Thank you, I'm so happy to hear it. I also updated something earlier I posted, because after all of this, I got inspired to add a new item to my to do list.

My very best friend in junior high was my English teacher and she taught us how to do this. CARINA SAID: Thank you Es, I'm happy to hear you were able to have a best friend like that. ES SAID: Me, too. And here’s a surprise for you – her name was Sister Barbara – yup, I went to a Catholic junior high. -------------- ES SAID: Just remember that although it’s based on other stuff I’ve edited, I KNOW that this version is YOUR version! ALL of my edits are just suggestions. If at any point you don’t like how I change something, you’re always welcomed to change them back and I’ll stick to what you make it.

For that matter, if you prefer your version to mine, feel free to let me know and I won’t try editing anything else of yours, no matter how much my fingers will be itchy to do so! CARINA SAID: Thanks, and I'll see the edits you made now. ES SAID: -------------- CARINA SAID: Without further ado. I present to you "The Power of Five". ES SAID: Looks to me like it's NOT "The Power of Five" but "House of Halliwell". Either would work fine for your title, but you really should stick to just one. If you decide to use "House of Halliwell" instead, you should edit your subject of your thread. CARINA SAID: And this is why you are the perfect editor for noticing this.

I must have just forgotten to fix it in my press release to how I want it now. Thank you for reminding me. ES SAID: Just remember – it’s YOUR story, so just because I changed it doesn’t mean you have to keep it this way – if you prefer “House of Halliwell”, change them, and change the subject of your thread. -------------- ES SAID: But for now, in my edit, I'm going to change it to what you have in your subject... I kinda like “The Power of Five” since it makes me think it’s a combination of The Power of Three and “Party of Five”. CARINA SAID: Thanks, me too. I really think it fits. I'm inspired to become Pheebs, and have my own Deadline article and say the writers were inspired by Party of Five with the title, or The WB wanted a show that was a mix of Party of Five and The Craft, when Connie pitched the series to the WB, it going from a show of four roommates in Boston to five Halliwells in Salem. ES SAID: NO! You can become LIKE Pheebs, but please don’t use that name for Deadline articles that you write! Use your own screen name of Carina with whatever last name you want to use (like I’m Esmeralda Wyatt – Piper might not want to take Leo’s last name – I will – but only S1 Leo, of course! Although that was only for EC – for CCDOW, we had to come up with different last names, and since you’re using the Halliwell names, so would you.) Otherwise it will look like Team Charmed Café’s Pheebs wrote yours, and, of course, she didn’t. BUT keep in mind that if you ask her, she’ll probably happily do them for you. Although if you want to do it yourself, go for it, just don’t use her name! I will NEVER edit anything you send to me as written by Pheebs and not you and anyone reading them will know that Pheebs did NOT write it! Doing your own Deadline articles with your own name saying that’s how the name was chosen is a good idea. Doing it as Pheebs is NOT! -------------- ES SAID: I’m also going to have fun casting your pilot. If you don’t like what I do, feel free to change it. AND if you’d prefer doing what we did with EC (TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, etc.) feel free to change them to that. Also note that I took out your mention of ages.

I look forward to reading it, and yes, I can up add that in Deadline Articles. Good suggestion, because I haven't really got my ages 100% accurate yet, otherwise I should do approximately, not both. Thanks for helping me with you editing tips. ES SAID: And sounds more and more like you want to do your own Deadline articles. Remember – that’s fine as long as you use your own name (but not your real last name) and not Pheebs’! ------------------ CARINA SAID: So looking forward to reading your edits now. ES SAID:
CARINA SAID: And I'm so happy you corrected the title of show and episode to how I wanted it. A good thing you spotted it. This reads better than mine. ES SAID: Glad you think so! CARINA SAID: And, I'm so impressed with how you edit, you make it read smoother. So I'm thinking I'll likely update my own word doc now with this. ES SAID: YAY! CARINA SAID: And again, this is so good. You’re a natural at editing. ES SAID: Which is why I changed your “Your” to “You’re” I don’t know why your generation does that - it drives me crazy! “Your” is possessive, like this is YOUR story; “You’re” is a contraction for “You are”, like YOU’RE writing this story. They’re (not their) not even pronounced the same way! -------------------- (Note by Carina: This would be where we lead into the opening credits, following by guest credits, but that isn't needed in a press release, but wanted to give you an idea of how I did the teaser)
ES SAID: Oh, this would be a great spot for the opening credits! I LOVE your teaser!! It’s a great combination of the beginnings of EC and CCDOW!
CARINA SAID: Thank you. I had so much fun with making it work.
ES SAID:
OOPS! Just noticed that I missed your misspelling Bennett, so I edited it here. Re-reading this, I keep finding stuff I missed because I was concentrating on editing more than proofreading. I hope you’ll let me go through it and fix those errors before you post it somewhere else.
----------------- CARINA SAID: Thank you, I really like the change you did here, with Phoebe wanting to cram for another one tomorrow, than talking to a friend. Wish I thought of that, I just needed an excuse for her to go upstairs, so Victor can whisper about Phoebe's birthday when he came home. This is better. ES SAID: Actually I took out all indications of the phone call. If she’s cramming, there’s no need for her to talk to a friend. CARINA SAID: I liked that you added the extra part of you’ll jinx it!. ES SAID: Hehehehe! I could hear Piper’s voice in my head saying that, so I had to include it. Remember – if I ever add something that *doesn’t* sound like your character, PLEASE take the out! CARINA SAID: Another edit that reads better. ES SAID: CARINA SAID: And I'm at the end, and I can now say officially, my word doc is updated with this one. ES SAID: YAY! Although like I said, I *really* hope you’ll let me proofread it before you post your final version – you’ll probably want to keep this as your brainstorming thread and a different one as your final version – it’s what we ended up doing with both EC and CCDOW and that works a lot better. ------------------ ES SAID: OOOH, I really, REALLY like it and am sorry that you stopped here – I really want you to keep going. CARINA SAID: Thanks Es, and I'll let you know right now, I HAVE kept going. So I'm not going to bother to ask, if you want more. I'm sure that is a yes, so I'm going to share more. ES SAID: Hehehehe! You are certainly right about that! -------------- CARINA SAID: I'm also going to post my little notes, I did, that are just ideas, I hope you like them, as I could really use some pointers on if I'm on the right track. I see you have a present for me, so I'll respond to it too, after I share more of my story. CARINA: Here is more Es. ES: Yay! I’ll also start editing. Unfortunately I have to get to work in 10 minutes, so I don’t know if I’ll get all the way through it. I’ll finish it tonight if I don’t finish now. ES SAID: OOO! I love you having Sheila be her friend who knows that she’s a witch, letting Sheila play Patience’s friend Jessica! And I’m glad you’re letting Patty keep Patience’s job! ES SAID: Rats! It’s 8:00 here, so I have to get to work. Like I said, I’ll finish this tonight. But have to say I’m continuing to enjoy how you’re combining EC with CCDOW – I just hope you don’t get so wrapped up in yours that you’ll stop reading EC so you won’t get a chance to read more of CCDOW. Remember – I won’t post CCDOW until you’re done with EC!
ES SAID: I decided to give a present that might help you even more, especially with the next part. Even before we started actually writing EC, we came up with a backstory.

I wished I was in EC mode, so I could react like I would with EC, but this does help. I just thought of another crazy idea. Could the fourth sister that they believe died, end up being raised by demons, so Peyton or Paige or whoever I name as Patty's other daughter get Christy's storyline from Season Eight. So nobody knows she is alive, and was saved in the fire by someone. CARINA SAID: I love this backstory. This is very good. CARINA SAID: And I'm so glad you had them visit during summer vacations, because it means the Woogyman story can remain intact in mine, so one summer they visited, Phoebe encountered it as a child. Then Penny can tell her about her childhood fears about the basement in the present of season one, or Patty can, I actually prefer it being her mother. CARINA SAID: What a cool story. This really helps me Es, I'm happy to have read it and been shared it by you. So thank you. (ES SAID: Yup, you can see how that became the plot of our pilot, but we kept the story of Peyton secret until Piper and Phoebe discover the truth about their dead cousin.) CARINA SAID: I really love that secret, it was well worth reading it. CARINA SAID: I so want to write one like this. I love reading this, and still love her as the healer using her skills along with potions to heal her family's injuries. CARINA SAID: Like I said, I love reading this. And you know how I feel about the Warrens jobs, they are so good and useful and you guys really made me love them. CARINA SAID: And I love this. CARINA SAID: I love this power for Piper, and the way you describe her. [/quote]CARINA SAID: And I love Phoebe Warren, and working at the paper, and her powers. You really got the backstory for the stars down well.
ES SAID: What we say happened to our Paige could easily happen to your Patty, making Peyton their half-sister (it’s what inspired doing that in Saturday’s CCDOW) CARINA SAID: And, I really have to agree, it really has inspired me for how I can do Peyton their half-sister. Wondering, if I could: A. Peyton believed killed in the fire and then raised by demons to become the Christy 0r B. Peyton is not killed in the fire, but Penny and Patty want that story as a cover, so her father won't find her, so she was adopted out for protection, and they did some spell so everyone forgets, and to keep her safe. So we meet her later in the series. -------------------- ES SAID: , I got so excited about this that I totally forgot to ask what you though of my editing. Remember, I will NOT be upset if you don’t like it – whether you want me to keep doing this is totally up to you. CARINA SAID: As I mentioned above, I loved them so much, I already updated my word document with it. So, if you have time, I'd love to see what editing you do next, since you really have made things more readable, and helped so much. ----------------- ES SAID: Now I’m going to go edit the two CCDOW ‘Witch Trial” press releases. I’ll check on this tomorrow morning. CARINA SAID: I wish you good luck with that. And hope, you find this in the morning to read and enjoy. -------------- ES SAID: Again, congratulations on the fantastic start! I would not have given you our backstory if I didn’t like it so much. CARINA SAID: Thank you. I feel inspired more to keep going. Thank you, I'm so happy to hear it. I also updated something earlier I posted, because after all of this, I got inspired to add a new item to my to do list.

CARINA SAID: I enjoyed your comments so far, I think I'll hold off replying until you finish off it all tonight. This is great because I'll continue more EC, in the meanwhile, and wait until you finish more and then I can respond to all of it. I don't want to get so distracted by Power of Five, that I forget to not read EC.

As I said, a big plus of Fan Fiction is that you don't have to worry about actor availability.
When the Charmed pilot was made, neither Jennifer Rhodes nor Finola Hughes had been cast yet. In fact, their characters weren't even given proper names until That 70's Episode, more than halfway through the season.
However, in your story, since the characters are established already, you can include them in your pilot and keep them on as regulars if you so desire.

NOTE FOR ES PLEASE READ: Like in my earlier message. Going to wait until you finish updating here from the morning to reply. But. I couldn't help but notice a few things needing editing. So I decided to edit them now. I'll hope you look at this one which has the edited parts and not continue replying from your earlier response before you left for work. Thank you. Esmeralda CARINA SAID: Hi guys, I've been working on my two-part pilot of my series inspired by Elemental Charmed and reading the first teaser of CCDOW. I decided to start my own thread. Would anybody like a sneak preview. ES SAID: Oh, yes, you better believe I’d LOVE a sneak preview!!! CARINA SAID: --------------- CARINA SAID: This is really only the first stage, so it might change. But I like the way I started this, and don't think it is going to change too much. ES SAID: *nods* Gotcha. But glad you know that you might end up changing it a little, especially after you read my edits. I never change a story – that’s up to the writer – but I do like making it read smoother. My very best friend in junior high was my English teacher and she taught us how to do this. CARINA SAID: Thank you Es, I'm happy to hear you were able to have a best friend like that. ES SAID: Me, too. And here’s a surprise for you – her name was Sister Barbara – yup, I went to a Catholic junior high. -------------- ES SAID: Just remember that although it’s based on other stuff I’ve edited, I KNOW that this version is YOUR version! ALL of my edits are just suggestions. If at any point you don’t like how I change something, you’re always welcomed to change them back and I’ll stick to what you make it. Hope that will be okay with you. For that matter, if you prefer your version to mine, feel free to let me know and I won’t try editing anything else of yours, no matter how much my fingers will be itchy to do so! CARINA SAID: Thanks, and I'll see the edits you made now. ES SAID: -------------- CARINA SAID: Without further ado. I present to you "The Power of Five". ES SAID: Looks to me like it's NOT "The Power of Five" but "House of Halliwell". Either would work fine for your title, but you really should stick to just one. If you decide to use "House of Halliwell" instead, you should edit your subject of your thread. CARINA SAID: And this is why you are the perfect editor for noticing this. And in my word document, I did have the title as "The Power of Five" and the way I had it in my thread. But, I did go back and forth over the title. I must have just forgotten to fix it in my press release to how I want it now. Thank you for reminding me. ES SAID: Just remember – it’s YOUR story, so just because I changed it doesn’t mean you have to keep it this way – if you prefer “House of Halliwell”, change them, and change the subject of your thread. -------------- ES SAID: But for now, in my edit, I'm going to change it to what you have in your subject... I kinda like “The Power of Five” since it makes me think it’s a combination of The Power of Three and “Party of Five”. CARINA SAID: Thanks, me too. I really think it fits. I'm inspired to become Pheebs, and have my own Deadline article and say the writers were inspired by Party of Five with the title, or The WB wanted a show that was a mix of Party of Five and The Craft, when Connie pitched the series to the WB, it going from a show of four roommates in Boston to five Halliwells in Salem. ES SAID: NO! You can become LIKE Pheebs, but please don’t use that name for Deadline articles that you write! Use your own screen name of Carina with whatever last name you want to use (like I’m Esmeralda Wyatt – Piper might not want to take Leo’s last name – I will – but only S1 Leo, of course! Although that was only for EC – for CCDOW, we had to come up with different last names, and since you’re using the Halliwell names, so would you.) Otherwise it will look like Team Charmed Café’s Pheebs wrote yours, and, of course, she didn’t. BUT keep in mind that if you ask her, she’ll probably happily do them for you. Although if you want to do it yourself, go for it, just don’t use her name! I will NEVER edit anything you send to me as written by Pheebs and not you and anyone reading them will know that Pheebs did NOT write it! Doing your own Deadline articles with your own name saying that’s how the name was chosen is a good idea. Doing it as Pheebs is NOT! -------------- ES SAID: I’m also going to have fun casting your pilot. If you don’t like what I do, feel free to change it. AND if you’d prefer doing what we did with EC (TBC1, TBC2, TBC3, etc.) feel free to change them to that. Also note that I took out your mention of ages. That can come up in Deadline articles, but not one like this, especially when I’m including the names of the actors. But if you want to take out the name and keep in ages, then be consistent and say exactly how old everyone is, or say approximately how old everyone is, not both. CARINA SAID: Thanks Es. I look forward to reading it, and yes, I can up add that in Deadline Articles. Good suggestion, because I haven't really got my ages 100% accurate yet, otherwise I should do approximately, not both. Thanks for helping me with you editing tips. ES SAID: And sounds more and more like you want to do your own Deadline articles. Remember – that’s fine as long as you use your own name (but not your real last name) and not Pheebs’! ------------------ CARINA SAID: So looking forward to reading your edits now. ES SAID:
CARINA SAID: And I'm so happy you corrected the title of show and episode to how I wanted it. A good thing you spotted it. This reads better than mine. ES SAID: Glad you think so! CARINA SAID: And, I'm so impressed with how you edit, you make it read smoother. So I'm thinking I'll likely update my own word doc now with this. ES SAID: YAY! CARINA SAID: And again, this is so good. You’re a natural at editing. ES SAID: Which is why I changed your “Your” to “You’re” I don’t know why your generation does that - it drives me crazy! “Your” is possessive, like this is YOUR story; “You’re” is a contraction for “You are”, like YOU’RE writing this story. They’re (not their) not even pronounced the same way! -------------------- (Note by Carina: This would be where we lead into the opening credits, following by guest credits, but that isn't needed in a press release, but wanted to give you an idea of how I did the teaser)
ES SAID: Oh, this would be a great spot for the opening credits! I LOVE your teaser!! It’s a great combination of the beginnings of EC and CCDOW!
CARINA SAID: Thank you. I had so much fun with making it work.
ES SAID:
OOPS! Just noticed that I missed your misspelling Bennett, so I edited it here. Re-reading this, I keep finding stuff I missed because I was concentrating on editing more than proofreading. I hope you’ll let me go through it and fix those errors before you post it somewhere else.
----------------- CARINA SAID: Thank you, I really like the change you did here, with Phoebe wanting to cram for another one tomorrow, than talking to a friend. Wish I thought of that, I just needed an excuse for her to go upstairs, so Victor can whisper about Phoebe's birthday when he came home. This is better. ES SAID: Actually I took out all indications of the phone call. If she’s cramming, there’s no need for her to talk to a friend. CARINA SAID: I liked that you added the extra part of you’ll jinx it!. ES SAID: Hehehehe! I could hear Piper’s voice in my head saying that, so I had to include it. Remember – if I ever add something that *doesn’t* sound like your character, PLEASE take the out! CARINA SAID: Another edit that reads better. ES SAID: CARINA SAID: And I'm at the end, and I can now say officially, my word doc is updated with this one. ES SAID: YAY! Although like I said, I *really* hope you’ll let me proofread it before you post your final version – you’ll probably want to keep this as your brainstorming thread and a different one as your final version – it’s what we ended up doing with both EC and CCDOW and that works a lot better. ------------------ ES SAID: OOOH, I really, REALLY like it and am sorry that you stopped here – I really want you to keep going. CARINA SAID: Thanks Es, and I'll let you know right now, I HAVE kept going. So I'm not going to bother to ask, if you want more. I'm sure that is a yes, so I'm going to share more. ES SAID: Hehehehe! You are certainly right about that! -------------- CARINA SAID: I'm also going to post my little notes, I did, that are just ideas, I hope you like them, as I could really use some pointers on if I'm on the right track. I see you have a present for me, so I'll respond to it too, after I share more of my story. CARINA: Here is more Es. ES: Yay! I’ll also start editing. Unfortunately I have to get to work in 10 minutes, so I don’t know if I’ll get all the way through it. I’ll finish it tonight if I don’t finish now. ES SAID: OOO! I love you having Sheila be her friend who knows that she’s a witch, letting Sheila play Patience’s friend Jessica! And I’m glad you’re letting Patty keep Patience’s job! ES SAID: Rats! It’s 8:00 here, so I have to get to work. Like I said, I’ll finish this tonight. But have to say I’m continuing to enjoy how you’re combining EC with CCDOW – I just hope you don’t get so wrapped up in yours that you’ll stop reading EC so you won’t get a chance to read more of CCDOW. Remember – I won’t post CCDOW until you’re done with EC!
ES SAID: I decided to give a present that might help you even more, especially with the next part. Even before we started actually writing EC, we came up with a backstory. I’ll admit that it will act as a spoiler for you reading EC, but with you writing this, I really feel like you should read that backstory. You may end up wanting to do your own before you really get going on this. As always, if you want to use any of our ideas for your own, go for it! And something like this is the perfect way to reveal their ages… CARINA SAID: I do love presents, so this is exciting. I'm looking forward to this, as it might hep me writing this and get my backstory in order. Because, I do have some ideas, but I'm not sure what to do. I was hoping to use Nicholas as their first warlock, but was thinking when they moved back to the manor in Salem, Nicholas could appear as he always does every year, same time and then learn the sisters have their powers now. This might really be useful, so thank you. CARINA SAID: I really love this backstory, it really does set up the story well, and gives me some ideas. CARINA SAID: Now, I have some inspiration for how to handle Patty's other daughter. CARINA SAID: WOW, this backstory is just amazing, my mouth open with shock. I wished I was in EC mode, so I could react like I would with EC, but this does help. I just thought of another crazy idea.

Post by Esmeralda on Oct 22, 2019 19:03:41 GMT -5
Hehehehe, did you catch the fact that I called the other witch who died Selena at one point and Serena at another? Of course, the proper name is Serena. If that's what you're talking about, I noticed that when I re-read it at work and was pretty embarrassed about it.
Speaking of work, I was thinking about your series while at work and realized there's some things you'll want to consider before you get too far. First and most important, if you're going to do yours as a full spoiler, telling everything that happens, step by step, in your pilot, you'll have to do the same thing in all of your episode press releases. That means that unlike EC, any problem you get your Power of Five into, you're going to have to get them out of! You don't start that way, you can get away with doing it that way when you reach your story arcs, like we did in EC, but if you truly want to use a lot of the stuff we used in EC, do you really want to have to figure out how to get them out of all the predicaments we put them in? With CCDOW, that was easy – we just let the show do it. That’s not the case for EC.
Speaking of EC and CCDOW, that’s something else that hit me. When exactly does your series take place? Is it 1998 and this is a series that’s taking the place of Classic Charmed like CCDOW is or is it 2018 and this is a reboot taking the place of the rip-off like EC? If it’s the first, you wouldn’t want to mention how you used “The Party of Five” along with the “The Power of Three” to come up with the title because the Power of Three hasn’t been born yet and The Party of Five is competing on a different channel at the same time your series is on. If it’s the latter, you’d have to recast it because Shannen, Holly, Alyssa and Rose are all 20 years too old to play Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige unless you made them Victor’s age!
Because what you’re doing is combining two series from two totally different time periods, I think your best bet is to skip doing press releases where you’d have to include the date when they’re aired and instead just do an episode guide like I did for my fantasy version.
To give you an idea, here’s the start of the episode guide for my fantasy version. You can skim through most of it since this part is almost identical to the TCC (Team Charmed Café) version, except for the formatting, formatting I think you’d want to use with yours – no taglines – no airing dates –– no release dates—just the title, the writer, the season/episode number and the episode number.
I didn’t write the full stories out because I didn’t want to take the time to get them out of the predicaments, but if you want to, you could, and if you want some of them long and some of them short, you most definitely could, the way my series premiere is quite a bit longer than the other ones – and longer than the TTC version.
Up to you, of course. If you want to stick with press releases and figure out what year you’re pretending it is, you most certainly can. It will probably be easier to use 1998 so you can use the actors from Classic Charmed, but the more I think about it, the more I think you'll probably want to skip doing your own Deadline articles until after you're done with the episode press releases - it will be easier to do teasers that way!
I think for now I’m not going to respond to the rest of your earlier post because I’m still not sure what it is that you edited. If it’s not just Selena vs Serena, please bold it/them so I’ll know. Thanks!

If that's what you're talking about, I noticed that when I re-read it at work and was pretty embarrassed about it. CARINA SAID: I didn't notice Es, but I think you didn't actually spell it wrong in mine, was that in CCDOW? Actually, the edits were me spelling the Bennett name wrong, and me saying Penny's Spirit Element Power, not Warren Power. I since bolded them for you.
ES SAID: Speaking of work, I was thinking about your series while at work and realized there's some things you'll want to consider before you get too far.

With CCDOW, that was easy – we just let the show do it. That’s not the case for EC. CARINA SAID:Thank you very much for saying that. That really does that me think more. I don't want to run into any problems the deeper I get into this series. I'll let you know, I was hoping to use plenty of Charmed plots, and find a way to fit the Power of Five into them, and or skip Charmed episodes that can't work, and find a way to use an EC episode in it's place. But, I'm worried, it might not work. I also, don't want to restrict myself to a length, some episodes I might have longer than others, I don't want to count the words, so every one is the about the same length. And you bring up a good point, I'll have to figure out a way to get my Power of Five out of a mess, I really am up for that challenge. But, I'm going to keep that in mind, because I'm worried, I might not be able to do it.
ES SAID: Speaking of EC and CCDOW, that’s something else that hit me. When exactly does your series take place?

If it’s the latter, you’d have to recast it because Shannen, Holly, Alyssa and Rose are all 20 years too old to play Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige unless you made them Victor’s age! CARINA SAID: It takes place in 1998, and this is a series that's taking the place of Classic Charmed like CCDOW would. So I'm wanting to let Shannen, Holly, Alyssa etc. play their characters. Really appreciate this feedback and for you asking, as always nice to get a second opinion. Now, I won't mention how I used “The Party of Five” along with the “The Power of Three” to come up with the title.
ES SAID: Because what you’re doing is combining two series from two totally different time periods, I think your best bet is to skip doing press releases where you’d have to include the date when they’re aired and instead just do an episode guide like I did for my fantasy version. CARINA SAID: Thanks. I'd like to let you know how I was planning to do my series set in 1998. What I was hoping to do, is use Charmed plots, and find a way to connect some parts of EC into it. More a process, if a Charmed plot simply cannot fit my series, I'd use an episode from EC. But now that you mention it, since your press releases for EC don't resolve how they get out of a mess, I'd have to re-think that. I'd have the challenge to do that. ES SAID: To give you an idea, here’s the start of the episode guide for my fantasy version. You can skim through most of it since this part is almost identical to the TCC (Team Charmed Café) version, except for the formatting, formatting I think you’d want to use with yours – no taglines – no airing dates –– no release dates—just the title, the writer, the season/episode number and the episode number. CARINA SAID: Thank you Es. Reading now. ES SAID: I didn’t write the full stories out because I didn’t want to take the time to get them out of the predicaments, but if you want to, you could, and if you want some of them long and some of them short, you most definitely could, the way my series premiere is quite a bit longer than the other ones – and longer than the TTC version. CARINA SAID: This is similar to what I want to do as I mentioned above. Not wanting to restrict myself with length, some might be long and some might be a little shorter. As in, I don't want to have to be too realistic with the length. More for time. ---------------- ES SAID: Up to you, of course. If you want to stick with press releases and figure out what year you’re pretending it is, you most certainly can. It will probably be easier to use 1998 so you can use the actors from Classic Charmed, but the more I think about it, the more I think you'll probably want to skip doing your own Deadline articles until after you're done with the episode press releases - it will be easier to do teasers that way! CARINA SAID: And I already want this set in 1998, so I can use actors from Classic Charmed. And I think I might skip doing my own Deadline articles for now, I feel like getting the episodes done is more important, I'll have to update some to-do-lists soon. And I agree with you, doing teasers is easier after I'm done with a press release, not before. ------------- ES SAID: I think for now I’m not going to respond to the rest of your earlier post because I’m still not sure what it is that you edited . If it’s not just Selena vs Serena, please bold it/them so I’ll know. Thanks! CARINA SAID: And I have put it in bold as requested.

Carina, I hope you understand that I'm going to put replying to all the posts in the EC thread before I go back to editing your latest updates. But I'll get to it as soon as I can. That's completely A-OK with me, Es.

CARINA SAID: Copying these here. SUMMER: Starting to fade, but I wanted to read some. But decided to read the ideas Carina has first, and then comment on all the stuff she thought of ours later, as that will take more time. CARNA SAID: I think you made the right call doing that, so readers can decide who can star. That sounds so cool you decided to do your own. I assume here, Holly and Shannen played the Warrens from the past, and Rose played a villain. You make me want to try my own fantasy version, but a different kind of one, where it focuses on Penny, Patty, Prue, Piper, and Phoebe from Charmed, but if you all give me permission (I'd probably not share it publicly), as wondering if it is possible to do one based on Charmed, with five Halliwells but finding a way to combine Charmed with Elemental Charmed's setting in Salem. So it would be set in 1998. I've become such a fan of Elemental Charmed, that, a part of me, might not do it, I love the EC series too much, that I might do something else. That only if I had permission, otherwise, I'll never mention this again. SUMMER: WOW! Carina, that sounds fantastic. You don't know, how this put a smile on my face, that you loved ours so much, it inspired you to want to do your own version. And Es, has already asked us a while ago, and you have our permission, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with it. ------------------------------------ CARINA: If not, I'd do a different fantasy version series which stars the Halliwell family in San Francisco, and follows the Charmed series, and just find a way to use Patty and Penny for a Power of Five. SUMMER: That sounds fun, especially if you set this one in 1998, you can use them and or the original cast. --------------------------------------- CARINA: Not sure how I'd spread the powers around, the fourth and fifth gifts would probably be Astral Projection and or orbing and the other maybe Empathy. And all the Halliwells always have one power, no additional ones. SUMMER: Well, if you have Penny, Patty, Prue, Piper and Phoebe. That is up to you. I'd think, you wouldn't want to give them all second powers. You could do like we did in EC, and let one Halliwell have a teleportation power and or the other having some kind of fire power. Of course, you'll do what is best for your story. I still think you'd be better off doing like we did, and letting Penny have premonitions like we did with Prudence. -------------------- CARINA: My Halliwell jobs would probably be letting Prue stay at Bucklands, Piper stay at Quake, Phoebe not working and then college. Penny maybe retired or has a job and close to retiring, and Patty works as a social worker and or detective replacing Andy or Darryl. SUMMER: I love those suggestions. You could do like we did in EC, with Penny who was a doctor but now retired. You might be better off, just sticking to canon for Prue and Piper's jobs in S1, with Penny a retired doctor, and Patty working with the police either as a detective or how we did it in EC. Up to you how you'll do it. I'll look forward to seeing what you do, Carina. -------------------- CARINA: I'd probably kill off one Halliwell star at the end of Season Three, so Paige could join and replace someone. I might even make Phoebe be the half sister and not be Victors daughter, if I stick with not replacing a Halliwell, if I don't use Paige. But I still don't know, if this could work. SUMMER: You could do that and introduce the fourth sister then, especially if she is Patty's daughter. And not sure if Es shared our backstory with you of EC, so I won't spoil it for you, but you might feel inspired by it. And, you'd have Patty and Penny reveal this to the surviving sisters in Season Four. And they'd do it without being ghosts, wouldn't they. ------------------ CARINA: I'd call my series The Power of Five or House of Halliwells not Charmed. SUMMER: I love that name, and hope you decide to use The Power of Five over House of Halliwell. House of Halliwell would make a great title for your first episode.

Ah, these are from the Charmed Cafe.
Thanks for posting them here, Carina, so I can read them. Can't do it at the Cafe, since I'm persona non gratta there.
