What is an alternate season?

An "Alternate Season" is a substitute season for the original season that a few fans came together to recreate due to the disappointment the original season has brought to them.

What do terms such as INT., EXT., CUT-TO, etc. mean?

These are the basic terms you need to know when you are reading script form. I'm sure you may know some or all of them, but incase you are unfamiliar with any of the terms below I have provided there meanings.
 
INT: interior, between doors
EXT: exterior, outside doors
CUT TO: when there is cutting between scenes
FADE IN: opening acts, when the black screen fades away
FADE OUT: | BLACK OUT: closing acts, screen fading into black
DISSLOVE TO: a scene transition in which the first scene is slowly replaced by the second scene
CONT'D: continues. There is something between before the character continues to speak. A beat, or does something, etc. It's not the second character's turn to speak yet.
O.S: off screen, can't see the person who speaks, just hear him from out of the frame
V.O.: voice over, dialogue/narration that takes place or continues even though the scene does not contain the actor or character who is speaking

Could I write an episode and send it in?

It all depends on the decision of the Creator. For now check out the Staff section to check for any available openings. A link to that section is located to the the left of the layout. We will listen, however, to all suggestions that can be sent to the Webmaster, webmaster@charmedtvs.com.

Where can I read previously posted episodes?

The alternate season sections contain links to all episodes that have aired here at the site. Each episode will be kept in the according sections, Alternate Season 5 or Alternate Season 6.

Are you just doing an alternate season 5 and 6 or will there be a 7th?

It's completely up to the Webmaster/Creator. We've completed the alternate season 5 and currently in the works is the current season [alternate season 6]. As for a alternate season 7, it's very unlikely at this time.

All feedback can be sent to the Creator and the Writing staff. You can also post feedback at the Guestbook or Forum.
