I can't believe that tomorrow, March 14th, it will be SEVEN FULL MONTHS since Granny Charmed wanted to know what our idea of a reboot would be. That's what inspired this alternate-universe series that's been giving so many of us so much joy, especially as we try to forget the reboot that stole all of Charmed’s thunder on its 20th anniversary, and debuted back in October and will be around for at least this season and next.
I’ve decided to post an update in a separate thread each time we reach the 13th of each month, so members can enjoy the update on the actual "month-day" (as we call it), the 14th of each month. As always each month-day, I'm also going to post a summary to show just how far we've come and how far we have left to go before we reach our goal of 4 1/2 seasons for 100 episodes. As of this point last month we only had EIGHT EPISODES TO GO!! Did we get them?? You’ll have to keep reading to find out!
Last month, I started two new threads, one with just all of our episodes and one with all of Pheebs Halliwell’s wonderful Deadline press releases for newbies who don’t want to read all FIFTY pages of our main brainstorming thread. Of course if they want to read both there without all of the brainstorming, they sure can by checking out our most recent month-day update.
I’m going to try to update both of those threads with the new updates, but no promises…
I’d also like to admit that thanks to another very busy Real Life, I haven’t been able to read and edit any of the other new press releases. I’ve still added the new ones to this update so we can see how many we’ve done and how many we have left to reach that goal of 100. I’ve done with them what I’ve been doing while they’re in “work in progress mode” – put an asterisk after the title.
At one point I thought that more likely than not, I won’t be able to get to the editing until summer since I’ll be busy with work (I work at a wholesale florist, so getting ready for Valentine’s Day, Easter and Mother’s Day keeps us extremely busy, so I usually crash as soon as I get home) and/or my University of Minnesota Golden Gopher baseball team, which is already playing, but won’t be playing at home until the end of March. BUT I’m *hoping* (no guarantees!) that because we won’t be playing at home until then and because Easter is late this year that I’ll have time to read and edit (and I’ll admit I’ll do Pheebs’ Deadline ones first, just because they’re a lot shorter than the episode ones and I usually just have to proofread them, not actually edit like I do the episode ones) some before the next update..
This still means that I probably won’t be able to do any more editing on the episode press releases until this summer when I’m not busy with either work or Gophers. I’m still hoping that by that time we’ll have our 100 episodes and I can have fun, not only editing, but also going through the entire series, re-ordering the episodes if necessary, looking for inconsistencies and fixing them, while editing the ones with the asterisks. To me, that sounds like great fun!
I’ll still post an update every month until we have all 100 of our episodes and our series is complete except for my editing. In fact, since I’m expecting Pheebs to continue to give us Deadline press releases as long as the rip-off keeps airing, I’m going to guess that I’ll still be doing monthly updates long after we finish our 100 episodes!
I hope you all understand.
What I hope the rest of you will be able to do once we get our 100 is to go back and come up with titles for all the episodes that have “TBD” as either the episode title or the tagline or both. I don’t think that should be left to the writer – anyone can make suggestions and let the writer decide which one they want. I’ll do the same thing when I do my summer edits, but I’m not that good at that so if anyone else can (Pheebs? Summer? Miranda? Sasha? You’re all so good at that! Or anyone who is just reading so far – West? Olga? If you want to, go for it!) that would be great!
I’ve also decided to skip the backstory so that if this is your first time reading about Elemental Charmed, it will be like you’re actually watching our show, not knowing what’s going to happen until it does. If this is the case for you, be sure to let us know what you think!
Here we go! Just like I’ve been doing, I’m going to put each season in its own post.
