Much as we members of Team Charmed Cafe love Pheebs Halliwell's Deadline press releases which are based on the ones for the rip-off adapted to fit Elemental Charmed, we're sure that members who haven't joined Team Charmed Cafe (and any member can join just by reading and reviewing or adding their own "press release") would like to just read the press releases concerning our episodes so they can find out what that's all about.
So as part of celebrating our fifth Month-Day, that's what I'm going to do, including adding our backstory.
Just like the ones in the Fifth Month-Day, ones that are still rough draft have an asterisk (*) after the title.

SEASON FOUR Here's my edited version of Prudence's rewritten press release. prudencehalliwell, hope you like it, especially when I kept it female-centric by leaving the gods out of it.

SEASON FIVE END OF OUR SERIES! So? If this was the first time you've read about our episodes, what do you think? Feel free to write episode of our own! Just remember - this is a *very* female-centric series, in case you didn't notice!

I like that you used the Elements, that actually is a really fun idea for a reboot. Much better than whatever The CW is doing, I barely know much about it, all I know is they are doing three sisters again and calling it Charmed. While here, you guys are doing what a reboot should do not name it Charmed and take it in a different direction. So well done.
The backstory with Peyton is very interesting, and I like how you have a reason for the younger Warrens to relocate, and a reason or them to come back and become the Elemental Witches.
Nice to know a little about the five stars. I especially like that Prudence was a retired doctor, that means no Leo and whitelighters, so this will ground the show more. I also like the jobs you have your other Warrens.
Well, you won me over.

I'm so glad Olga you decided to read, even if this is all you can read. I'm glad we won you over with the summary and character descriptions.
I'll hope you read more, but understand if you can't given your new baby and all.

I agree with the others, Olga! I'm *very* glad you liked our backstory for EC and want to read more. We won't hold our breath waiting until you have time, but will enjoy finding out what you think of our episodes.

We won't hold our breath waiting until you have time, but will enjoy finding out what you think of our episodes. And I'm going to read a little bit more, while my daughter is sleeping. I really love that Piper and Phoebe are living in San Francisco, while the others are in Salem.
Really love this opening episode, I especially love the title of the episode. Perfect!
I think this has a really good set-up.
Good way to get our new witches settled in, and not just having them suddenly be in Salem as if nothing happened. That they take time to adjust.
I like that they learn a good lesson on why they always lived with their mother, and I'll hope Piper and Phoebe continue to learn some lessons as they grow into their roles as witches from the older Warrens.
WOW - you nailed this one, with the senses, and finding a way to get all five working for the Warrens. Poor Prudence, I can't imagine how bad she must feel in that situation.
I like how you slowly laid out the foundation that their ancestor Marry Ann Warren. (I'm assuming she is our Melinda like character the first witch for the Warrens)

SEASON ONE I like your set-up for the first episode. EC reminds me of Witches of East End (a focus on family, only that show didn't have a Prudence/grandmother character but they do two sets of sisters), of course, WOEE is way different than this one in what the show is about, just the stars being family and not just a set of sisters. Having their powers being based on the Elements, I really like. I like that the younger Warrens are unknown to their destiny as the Elemental Witches, that fits well with the older Warrens being the ones to help Piper and Phoebe learn about magic and grow into their roles. I think having their father Victor died is the best way to set-up the story and get Piper and Phoebe moved back to Salem to start their destiny. Really love that they lived in San Francisco before, a nice nod to Classic Charmed series setting. While having it set in Salem might be interesting to see what mythology you decide to incorporate from the witch trials. You guys seem to have put so much energy into this, and I hope you manage to finish it all off, so keep up the good work. I'm glad the Cafe has so many activities going around lately, a board re-watch and Elemental Charmed. I'll hope something new comes along. I'd read on, but I just finished reading Summer Reading's Charmed: Re-Imagined, (which was so well-done) and it is getting late. So I'll have to come back.

I'm so glad you liked what we have done West. Summer's Charmed: Re-Imagined story is really great and perfect for how Charmed could have been.
Actually when we finish EC, we talked about possibly starting a new project for Charmed: Reimagined, and having several ones going at once, for whatever members are interested in and such. We'll see.
I hope you have time to read on.
Es, you starting this thread is perfect for people to read our series for just the episodes. Looking forward to you West, and also Olga (if she has time) reading more.

And I'm so glad, Pheebs, that you like this way of introducing our series that leaves out your fantastically wonderful Deadline articles based on the ones for the rip-off that you did a fantastic job adapting to our series. I'm considering doing another thread that just has your Deadline articles. What do you (and the others - especially people new to Elemental Charmed like West and Olga) think of that idea? I really like this idea, and I see many here do too. And because they do, that's exactly what I'm going to do! Enjoy, everyone!

West I'm so glad you liked our start to the series, and I'm so happy to hear you liked my Charmed: Reimagined series too. I'll pop into that thread after I'm done here, to comment on what you thought. Looking forward to West and Olga reading on, whenever you both have time. I agree with Ruth, that sounds like a wonderful idea Es. One thread for episodes only, and one for just Pheebs wonderfully written Deadline articles.

Hope you keep reading and keep letting us know what you think - it's such fun getting to see what people think of our series! WEST: Had fun with Charmed: Re-Imagined, and then this one. I will keep reading on. I might space out reading, and do one episode a day, or two, if the story is a two-parter, and I can't resist not reading on to see what happened.
