Yeah from what I know this is one of the only Charmed forums actively going still amongst others I've seen online overall. The Charmed Reddit is pretty active, but I'm not a fan of the new direction it's taken, lately, but it is another option. I prefer the Cafe (here), though. Less toxic. |

Hello! I saw both questionnaires at the beginning of this thread so I decided to pick and choose from both
Name you want to go by: Jessica or Jess Age: 30
What is your occupation? Move Coordinator - I work from home
Little bit about me:
I'm a pretty big nerd and I love being one! Other interests I have other than watching TV is D&D (huge fan of Critical Role), making resin dice, video games (I stream a bit with my partner if anyone is interested!), reading, and hanging out with the people I love! I've met several celebrities and I never get starstruck BUT in February I went to Pensacon and met Holly Marie Combs, Brian Krause, and Rose McGowan and I was a MESS meeting Holly, I was shaking and stuttering... partner laughed at me. She touched me voluntarily and called me honey, I weep.
I'm a queer, big girl, my partner is Enby and also queer, so I'm a safe place for anyone. I'm a little restless in life and I'm working on figuring out why. I just said goodbye to my dog, my best friend of 13 years and I'm still pretty wrecked about it. I'm also a cat mom. My next cat (unsure about getting another dog anytime soon) will be named Piper.
I used to be heavily involved in fandoms in my teens and early-mid 20s, I used to RP, write fanfiction, and was a member of several different forums for several different fandoms but it's been awhile, so please bear with me while I try and get back in the swing of forums and fandoms. I just miss talking to people online with similar interests as me! I hope to make some good friends here 
Other shows you watch:
Lots... Gilmore Girls, anything on Drop Out TV, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, The West Wing, Schitt's Creek, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, That's So Raven, Raven's Home, Lower Decks, She-Ra and the Princess of Power, Over the Garden Wall, Gravity Falls, Stranger Things, Gossip Girl, Never Have I Ever, Sandman, Good Omens, etc. I just like TV
Favorite Charmed character and why:
Piper 100% in my many years of watching Charmed that has never faltered. I love her character progression. I know a lot of people don't like her because she's mean and whiny in later seasons, but I have SO MUCH head cannon about why she developed that way and I very much relate to her. A lot of people IRL think I'm mean, too, so it works lol
Favorite Season:
I don't have 1 favorite season, but if I HAD to choose, probably season 3 Favorite Episode:
...I can't choose just one. Primrose Empath, The Good, The Bad, and The Cursed (Because of Alyssa's acting), Ms. Hellfire, Dead Man Dating, AND A LOT
How long have you been a Charmed fan:
I'm not sure, probably about 17 years. I found Charmed around 2003, I think. Before that, I remember watching TV late one night and seeing a snippet of the episode where they were practice on Leo getting Belthazor flesh (I can't remember the episode title off the top of my head at the moment) and I thought it was an interesting show and it took me a long time to find it!
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?
Every episode more than once, I'm on my has to be 15th watch through now lol; and yes... I always watch season 8 through my rewatches.
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?
Yes, a few times a year if I can! But I also rewatch Gilmore Girls a lot - so I alternate. Thsoe are my 2 favorite shows of all time, and yes they ARE extremely different.
Which romantic pairings do you like? (pick as many as you like)
Piper/Leo Piper/Mark Phoebe/Drake Prue/Andy Prue/Bane Phoebe/Cole but ONLY before he became The Source
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
B - Seasons 1-4 are my favorite seasons!

Thank you!! I made it myself! I totally get what you mean. Sometimes it's nice to share your love of fandom with others. I don't really have any friends who like to talk about some of the fandoms I love at all. Since shows like Charmed or Buffy for instance have ended for so long most I know moved on. |

1. How long have you been a Charmed fan?
Since 1999. I caught the episode Feats of Clay because I had been a Shannen Doherty fan seeing her in a few mother things. I also remembered Alyssa Milano from Melrose Place.
I really enjoyed the show and kept watching for the rest of S1. However the switch to Thursdays was an issue and it clashed with my other commitments. So I ended up missing the other seasons. I finally watched again with Oh My Goddess and found Chris' character interesting. But I was though lying confused where Prue was and who the heck Paige was. And still kept wondering what happened to her. But I kept seeing similarities of Prue in Chris that I wondered if he was her son or Prue reincarnated. The twist with him being Piper and Leo's son felt a little predictable.
I watched through to the last episode. I managed to finally get to watch seasons 2-5 for what I missed on DVD when they started releasing them in 2005-2007.
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?
A.
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?
D.
4. How long have you been in the online fandom?
I never was really in the Charmed fandom or any fandoms at all until a decade ago. I had lots of other commitments and really sitting in front of the internet was just not my thing as a teenager and in my 20s. I was more active with going out with friends, some video games, watching and playing sports. So anything fandom related was just watching them on television.
I did join a community online about other fandoms through Reddit. But I terminated my account for the toxic environment.
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?
D. I felt it was a little too cheesy. Nothing that exciting happened. I really like lots of twists and turns. This one didn't really do anything that we didn't already see done before.
6. Rank the seasons from most to least favourite.
Season 1 > Season 3 > Season 6 > Season 2 > Season 4 > Season 7 > Season 5 > Season 8
7. Your five favourite and five least favourite episodes?
Favorite

5. Spin City
Least Favorite
1. Look Who's Barking
2. Marry Go Round
3. The Importance of Being Phoebe
4. Once In a Blue Moon
5. Malice in Wonderland
8. Your favourite characters (as many as you wish).
Prue
Chris
Phoebe
The Seer
Andy
Darryl
Cole (up until Charmed and Dangerous)
Billie
9. Which romantic pairings do you like? (pick as many as you like)
Piper/Josh
Paige/Henry
Prue/Bane
10. Do you read and/or write fanfiction? Any particular type? Do you follow any of the virtual seasons?
I haven't. But I'd read any Prue, Paige and Chris fanfictions showing how they'd interact.
11. Are you a fan of any other witch themed shows?
Witches of East End was pretty good. I did see the Charmed reboot a little.
12. What are your other favourite shows, if any?
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Angel
Melrose Place
90210 (Shannen seasons only)
Fringe
The X Files
Once Upon A Time
The Secret World of Alex Mack
The Amazing Race
Survivor
Desperate Housewives
Lost

30-39
15. What is your occupation?
Full time carer.
16. What country are you from?
Canada.
17. How did you hear about the Charmed cafe?
Asking Google if there are any Charmed fan communities better than Reddit.

Mix of both.

I'm sure they will  And, interestingly enough, not as much of a fan as my avatar makes it seem. I just saw the gif of him and threw some flares on it, and thought it was adorable . I'm working on an Andy one, and that'll be my next avatar! I do admire your Prue/Chris avatar! |

Hello zack and welcome to the board. As mentioned this week previously it's so nice seeing all the new members who've joined recently and getting their perspectives on what they thought of the show. I didn't get into message forums myself until 2006 when I joined this one which was my first. Another Smallville fan I see. I wonder if you've seen or are subscribed to either Michael Rosenbaum's own podcast series "Inside of You" or the Smallville rewatch podcast he's doing with Tom Welling called "Talkville"? Anyway, I hope you have fun and enjoy yourself here and I look forward to seeing what you write also of course. |

1. How long have you been a Charmed fan?My first episode was "The Power of Two". And I was led to believe that Piper was just their friend/cousin, since she wasn't present in the episode. What drew me in was I love crime, the evil spirit of a serial killer escapes from Alcatraz got me to check out the show. I'd be surprised if anybody checked Charmed out for the first time because of the crime/case aspect which has nothing to do what with the show was about. And a part of the show they stopped having be a big focal point. 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?A. I've probably re-watched and seen all the episodes so many times. Some maybe 20-30 times in the past twenty years. 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?D. I like to watch Charmed but I don't watch the show every single day or every week like I used too (other interests and shows take up my time. 4. How long have you been in the online fandom?
I've check in and out of fandoms in the past twenty years online. 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?Mixed feelings. I'm still upset Prue didn't come back. I understand they couldn't afford Shannen and she might've turned them down, but still no photo of her sucked, not even one of child Prue. 6. Rank the seasons from most to least favourite.Season 2 > Season 1 > Season 3 > Season 4 > Season 6 > Season 7 > Season 8 > Season 5 7. Your five favourite and five least favourite episodes?

9. Which romantic pairings do you like? (pick as many as you like)Phoebe/Jason
Paige/Henry
Prue/Bane
10. Do you read and/or write fanfiction? Any particular type? Do you follow any of the virtual seasons?No. 11. Are you a fan of any other witch themed shows?I did see Witches of East End a little. 12.
