1. How long have you been a Charmed fan?

Since 1999 when I was about 11 and was watching Dream Sourcer while being babysat.

The next week, my sister - 8 and I crowded around a 14 inch TV on Friday night and watched The Wedding From Hell. It's funny how these these are considered to be the worst episodes of Season 3, yet, this is where I fell in love with Charmed. We weren't allowed to watch Charmed because it was considered to violent and had too much wicca in it.


2. Have you seen (a) every episode more than once, (b) every episode at least once, (c) most of the episodes, (d) fewer than half of the episodes?

b) every episode more than once


3. Do you still watch Charmed (on TV, online, video or DVD)? If yes, do you watch (a) every day, (b) once or twice a week, (c) a few times a month, (d) a few times a year?

b) Once everyweek. I used to watch it during exam time while I studied. 


4. How long have you been in the online fandom?

I joined in about 2004 but then left, came back last year. However, Charmed and the birth of the internet came hand in hand. I remember going to Dad's work when I was 13 and printing out the episode lists and reading them on car rides home. Such simple times. 


5. How do you feel about the finale and the way the show ended? (a) loved it, (b) liked it, (c) had mixed feelings, (d) disliked it, (e) hated it?

I liked it. I always like time travel and seeing old family members.

I'd love too but I don't think I'm creative enough or that anyone would read it


11. Are you a fan of any other witch themed shows?

Hmmm.... not really. I liked Sabrina and Practical Magic

[Hexenwerk]

Hi, I'm Hexenwerk, Hexe for short, and I'm excited to be here!

1. How long have you been a Charmed fan?
For maybe half a year now?



2. Have you seen (a) every episode more than once, (b) every episode at least once, (c) most of the episodes, (d) fewer than half of the episodes?
C, but I've rewatched the first few seasons several times over already.




3. Do you still watch Charmed (on TV, online, video or DVD)? If yes, do you watch (a) every day, (b) once or twice a week, (c) a few times a month, (d) a few times a year?
I'm too busy during the school year to get to watch much Charmed, so C, only a few times a month. I usually rewatch episodes that are pertinent to fanfics that I'm writing.



4. How long have you been in the online fandom?
I've never really been a part of the online Charmed fandom outside of uploading some Charmed fanfics to a fanfiction site, but I've been in fandoms since 2011.


5. How do you feel about the finale and the way the show ended? (a) loved it, (b) liked it, (c) had mixed feelings, (d) disliked it, (e) hated it?
I never actually saw the finale . . . I just started forcing myself to try to get through season six at least.




6. Rank the seasons from most to least favourite.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, I haven't seen 7 or 8 but they're probably tied for worst from what I've heard. Seasons 1, 2, and 3 can be switched around in order without much contention.



7. Your five favourite and five least favourite episodes?
I don't think I have any particular favorites or least favorites, as even the ones I can't stand still do some character work that I think is interesting.



8. Your favourite characters (as many as you wish).
Prue is my utmost favorite, but I also like Darryl and Grams a lot. I adored Phoebe and Piper in the earlier seasons (season two Phoebe was amazing and Piper was great in season one, there was something about her determination despite the vulnerable feel she had that I admired)



9. Which romantic pairings do you like? (pick as many as you like)
None.


10. Do you read and/or write fanfiction? Any particular type? Do you follow any of the virtual seasons?
I read and write fanfiction. I prefer reading and writing longer fanfics (I don't upload most of my longer ones though). I don't follow any of the virtual seasons.



11. Are you a fan of any other witch themed shows?
Nope.



12. What are your other favourite shows, if any?
The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Good Place, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Elementary



13. Are you male or female?
Ehhhhhhh



14. What's your age group? (a) under 15, (b) 15-21, (c) 21-30, (d) 30-40, (e) 40-45, (f) 45-55, (g) over 55, (h) none of your beeswax.
C



15. What is your occupation?
Student and freelance artist. I also edit papers for food.


16. What country are you from?
USA


17. How did you hear about the Charmed cafe?
Probably found it while Googling stuff about the series.


18. Do you like the early or later seasons of charmed. a) Season 1-3 b) season 1-4 c) season 5-8 d) all of them e) a mix of both
Definitely A. There are good episodes in the later seasons, but I miss Prue and the more serious, down-to-earth tone of the earlier seasons.

Welcome aboard Hexenwerk!

Nice to see new fans join, especially one like yourself who has only been a fan for half a year. So your opinions are still fresh and growing.

[Hexenwerk]

Thank you, West! I'm really looking forward to getting to talk to other Charmed fans. I've mostly had to analyze the show, develop headcanons, and write fanfiction without feedback due to a lack of community, so it'll be nice to hear the opinions of others. :)

Great to hear! 

[Granny Charmed]

Welcome dear to the Cafe, enjoy your time here.

[Esmeralda]

I'll also add my welcome, Hexe! Always great to see a fellow-Prue fan who loves the first set and the first few seasons best and who is a fellow fanfic writer/reader! Hope you enjoy this site as much as we do!

[Melinda Halliwell]

I to extend my welcome to Hexe now also.

Hope you enjoy yourself here. 

[Hexenwerk]

Thank you for the warm welcome! :)

[Ruth Marie]

Welcome to this site Hexe! Always great to see a Prue-fan. I hope you have fun here, and enjoy yourself.

[Hexenwerk]

Already am, and I'm so happy to come across more Prue-fans! I've kind of avoided Charmed fan communities in part because I see her get a lot of hate, and she is an essential reason as to why I like the show.
