abuseHey there! Lauren here. I hope you're doing well. I jsut read hte sequel or rewrite you wrote for "Forever Charmed." I really liked it! It was really good! Although I would have thought Piper would have told Paige she loved her during a moment just for them, but your idea was good too. I hope to read more from you soon! Also, Colleen is one of my favorite names. It actually holds a very special place in my heart. One of my best friends was named Colleen and she helped me during a time I needed it the most.

abuseBeautifully done, love the idea of Phoebe having a child with Cole. Anxious to see how you resolve this, and the idea of Phoebe knowing that out there she has a son.

abuseVery, very nicely done, 4Ever!! A LOT better than just the quick glimpses on the show!! Don't you REALLY think that it should've been two hours long, like most series finales are??

I loved all the names and the reasons for the names and I absolutely adored who you chose for each Charmed Ones' guide and the relationship each had!!

Once more, girl, absolutely fanastically wonderful job! Thank you so much for writing it and sharing it with all of us!!

abuseOh, 4Ever, an absolutely totally fantastically wonderful chapter!! This is truly how Phoebe's wedding should've gone rather than that quick glimpse that we saw on the show!! And having Melinda Warren doing the ceremony was the frosting on the cake, as was Prue and Andy and the Morrisses, all people who truly should've been part of it. It makes me wish you had Paige do a flashback to her own wedding and let us see how very much better that actually was than the rush job the show was!!

I can't WAIT to see how you end this!! On to the next!!

abuseOh, 4Ever!! What an absolutely totally fantastically wonderful update!! No doubt about it; you've got to just summarize the parts that are the same as finale and make your original stuff the major part of it, because they are tremendous!!

From your not having Billie coming to ask the Charmed Ones' forgiveness and ending up vanquishing both Christy and herself--AND the Magic School, I hope! (you pleased EVERY Charmed fan with that, I'm sure! AND using the Power of Three spell to protect the sisters!! YES!!) to using both Paige's memory dust and the spell to send everyone home, to the wonderful love scenes between each of the three couples (I giggled at all of Coop's tired old lines!) to that fantastically wonderful scene between Cole, Turner & Phoebe, this very simply rocks!! Especially making Cole & Turner cupids, including LIttle Turner with his arrows! That simply made me MELT!!

I truly think that we should figure a way to combine both of your fic and my Charmed Forever, including the parts of the others' that we like best, and come up with a HECKOVA Forever Charmed rewrite!!

What I can't believe is that I'm only halfways through this!! I can't wait to see what you come up with for the rest of this!! And best of all, I don't have to wait; I get to read it right now!

abuseVery, very nicely done, 4Ever! It follows the original finale a bit too closely--I think you could've summarized those parts that are exactly the same rather than writing them all out, since anyone who has seen the finale, would know what's going to happen and like me, just kinda skim through them.

But that said, I absolutely loved the original parts of the story!! I love the fact that you actually let Piper mourn Paige and I :love what you have her say! I love the outfits you have Patty and Victor wearing (even the fact that they're in Phoebe's old room, since I now realize that Grams probably would've had Piper & Leo's, which was originally Prue's) and especially the Christmas scene, especially with Prue getting a new camera and Piper's Raggedy Ann! Funny, I thought Piper might have named her Raggedy Andy something different, since I somehow was expecting little Andy Trudeau to get mentioned or maybe show up, since he was part of the 70's eppi. Speaking of, I love the fact that you let Grams remember the sisters from the 70's and the fact that Piper doesn't remember that Christmas due to the binding spell! Continuity! Wow, what a concept!! One Kern obviously knows nothing about. I also love how Patty *does* realize that Piper is indeed her daughter, while Victor's not so sure. And Leo worried about future consequences sounds just like his son!

A few minor grumbles. I *don't* think Victor would've told the little girls that Piper is their future self--a bit much for kids that young to handle; I think they'd just telling them that Mommy had something to do. I also think the little girls would've wondered who Piper and Leo were, even if they were more interested in their presents. And although I *love* Victor calling Prue Prudence, as he always did, I don't think Patty would call Grams "Mom". She always called her "Mother" on the show and Grams is just a bit too formidable to be a "Mom"! Also, although you wrote the whole thing in past tense, every now and then you switch over to present and that's distracting. I think you should try writing it in present tense. With the way you write, I think it could be *very* effective.

Also, if you're going to post this somewhere besides here and serialize them rather than just post the whole thing at once, I'd do more chapters, so that each is a lot shorter, even tho, naturally, yours are based on the acts on the show. Most people going to these sites are trying to read a lot of updates in a short time and they're going to appreciate shorter ones, so they can read a lot at once.

But all of those grumbles are truly minor, because I really do like this a lot!! And I'm excited to find out what other changes you've made--I'll continue to just skim through the parts that are the same.

abuseWhat can I say? I love it! It has everything the final didn't have and it's much better. Love that Prue and Cole are in it.

abuseOh! And I forgot to say how much I loved the ending. Sure, the granddaughter closing the door on the finale was sweet, but yours was perfect. Prue, the dead sister, about to rejoin her lover and sister's, closing the door with her powers. Perfect perfect perfect. You should know I got the chills when I read the ending line.

abuseI can't tell you how happy I am you suggested this to me. In all honestly, this is one of the best fics I've ever read. Everything about it is amazingly perfect. You're writing and detail to description is incredible, and everything flows and reads so well. Like I've said, there is truly NOTHING I don't love about this fic, but here's a little list of my favorite things...

I love how you encorporated Darryl into the finale. I felt that was one thing really missing because he played such a huge role in the girls' lives. Like all the other characters, you kept him and his family true to the true TV characters.

The segment with the flashback - little Prue and little Piper - was adorable and wonderfully written. It introduced Prue's character so well, and it was just so sweet! [This was something I thought Kern should have done since they couldn't get SD].

Bringing Prue back was genious. You did it so perfectly. A lot of fanfic writers who bring Prue back have the sisters' react to seeing their dead sister done very poorly. You, however, make it so realistic to both the show and true life. The character's react exactly how I pictured them reacting. And I agree with you - Prue should have had a much bigger role in the finale. I was baffled by the lack of time given to her. They mentioned her name once, and obviously thought that was enough, which disgusted me. I love how Prue reacts to seeing the kids, and how they react to seeing her. I've always wanted Wyatt to meet Prue, and I love the Auntie/Nephew relations between them. SO ADORABLE! Everything about her character was done so well. She was just so Prue, which I've missed. The line you wrote about the 60's music in heaven was hilarious, by the way, as was her first line in your fic to Phoebe.

I'm a big Paige-fan, and I'm a big Prue-fan, so I'm very sensitive to how fanfic writers write the relationships between the two of them. I LOVE the way you've written it. All the little sisterly-things they do are so adorable and so true to the real characters. I always wanted a Prue/Paige moment, and yours was better than I imagine Kern would write it.

For some reason, I've never been an enormous Cole fan, but I think what you did was PERFECT! Even as a non-Cole-fan, I was astonished that the writers didn't include him in the finale either. You've created such a perfect and suitable ending for him, and I LOVE the introduction of Turner! I also love that Coop is accepting and understanding of Phoebe's past relationship with Phoebe - it's so touching and shows how much he understands Phoebe.

The Andy and Henry stuff was so sweet and so fun. Amist all the more heavy stuff going on with the sisters, they lightened the mood and created much needed comic relief. I love both characters on the show and in this fic..You wrote them so well.

I love all Paige and Henry stuff, and their moments in your fic were no exception. They're so perfect together, and they got the proper send-off in your fic [as opposed to their lame one in the real finale]. The stuff about Henry wanting to be a Dad was so sweet.

The Andy and Darryl stuff was genious. I loved them both, and the way they acted with one another in the first sister was so great. I know Darryl took his death almost as hard as the sisters, so bringing them together for a little was amazing.

Bringing Melinda back was also beyond perfect. I loved her character, and I've always loved the connection the sisters' feel to her, though the writer's don't often expand on it. Bringing her back tied up a lot of old, loose strings.

The Phoebe and Coop stuff was wonderful. I loved their ceremony and their anticipation before it, and I LOVED how you had Phoebe floating, both figuratively and literally!

Now all the future stuff...SO EFFING PERFECT! The 5 minutes they dedicated to it in the show was embarrasing and awful. I think your way made more sense for the series. The Elders, while difficult at times, obviously have always wanted what was best, and have always cared for the sisters. I love all the little 'presents' and rewards they sent to them.

The way you encorporated the little 5 second segments of the shown future from the episode into your fic was amazing. The scenes you wrote were beyond incredible.

I WAS SO HAPPY ABOUT BABY MELINDA! I've always wanted Leo and Piper to get their little girl, and I've always thought about how attatched Piper was to her and how quickly she let her go. Everything about the boy's and Melinda's character was perfect. I also love how Prue still plays a role in their future life, and Prue was the perfect guide for Piper.

Pairing Sam with Paige as the guide was more than perfect. And I loved when she called him Dad, which I don't remember her ever doing on the show. I've always felt they deserved more air time...I truly believe, despite Paige's resistance, she loved him and needed him more than she let on. Paige's future was my ideal future Paige. Once again, could not have loved it more.

Phoebe finally got her little girl! And I LOVE that Phoebe was telling her granddaughter stories from the book, and not just reading it like Old Piper did in the real finale. You're way was infinately better.

The Chris and Bianca stuff was priceless. I always wanted to know more about that, and it answered all questions [as a finale should].

On a more technical level, I LOVED the names you chose. All were so rich with meaning and so well matched with each of the characters [meaning, to me, it made sense for Paige to want to name her kids after Henry, Darryl, and her sisters, and I love that Phoebe started a new C tradition. It was genious how you brought up the episode where it spoke of her true love beginning with a C, and then using that for her children].

Now that I've rambled on for way too long, I want to say that I HONESTLY believe this would have made the perfect Charmed finale. I truly wish I had just read the fic instead of seeing the real thing. You've re-instated my love for Charmed, when the finale nearly destroyed it. As I've said MANy times before, this fic was absolutely perfect in every respect. Thank you so much for writing it. Despite all that I've typed, there are no words to express how much I love it. THANK YOU!

abuseOh, wow. I love this chapter. I just had to review it. You did the best with the Cole and Phoebe and Coop. I am so glad that you didn't make Phoebe's suddenly fall back in love with Cole, like many other fanfic authors do. Instead, you made him a Cupid. *laughs*

And I had forgotten about the apple peel thing! This is actually the first story I've read where having Phoebe and Cole have one last conversation together doesn't make me gag. And I loved the twist with Phoebe's son.

Anyway, there's only one word for this chapter...excellent.
