The lights are darkened as the sudden beat of the drum and sax start up. “Witches and Demons, Whitelighters and Warlocks. Once again we are here waiting the next instalment of Spellbound. Now lets all give a big cheer for our hostess…..Di”

Di walks onto the stage seeing some familiar faces and some new ones. The music of her dear friends, and bandleader Peter, echoing over the announcer.

“Oh hey. And for Pete Michael Escovito and the PME 5. Give it up everyone…” Di walks over and greets her friend Peter as the crowd cheers loudly.

“Wow Pete. I think we lost some of our regulars this week.”
“I think we got some new ones though Di.” He laughed as the drummer did a small roll on his snare. Even he noticed the absence of some witches and demons in the crowd.

“Ok well I don’t want to keep you all from your destined paths. So.. Let’s get on with the show. Straight from the Eastern USA. She has brought a new twist of Charmed fiction by giving the readers a say and option of what should happen next. Please welcome Alexandra to the show.”

Alexandra walks out and takes her seat next to Di. “Wow this is cool”

Di laughed as she turned to Alexandra though waving at Pete in the background. “So AJ, can I call you AJ?”
“Yeah sure.”
“Strawberry Daiquiri.” Di offers as she takes a beer herself.
Oh my fav.. thanx.”

Di: So lets get right to it. These guys have battles and vanquishes to get back too. I’ll start off with a few personal questions if it all right with you. How old are you, and where are you from?
Alexandra: I am twenty four, and I'm from New Jersey and for the record, it's probably one of the more boring states to live in and one of the more expensive ones

Di: What interests or hobbies do you have?
Alexandra: My main interests are music. Whether I'm singing it, (badly), or dancing to it, or watching a play. I love music. As far as hobbies go, dance class is a big one. I also like colorguard. For those of you who don't know what that is, I'll explain. If you've ever seen a marching band at football games, the girls, and in some cases guys, spinning the pretty flags, that's colorguard. That's lots of fun to do for me. Other than those two things, I like to talk on the Internet with my friends, and I like to visit my best friend and her three and a half-year-old daughter.

Di: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would that be, and why?
Alexandra: This is a tough question. I'd want to pick a place where I'd feel safe and secure and be in a central location of all my friends so that visiting them all, isn't that hard. Have I mentioned that sometimes I like to live in fantasy land? Okay, so that's not a real answer that you were looking for so I will pick Florida, because I've been there several times and they don't get snow. Shoveling is NOT FUN!

Di: Is there any one person you would like to meet? This can be anyone, living or dead, and what would you like to ask them?
Alexandra: Okay as corny as this sounds, I'd like to meet up with either my grandma or my grandpa. They have both passed on and I'd like to talk to them just once more. Find out if they are okay and if where they are is a nice place that I can look forward to going to in the very far future.

Di: Is there anything that really scares you?
Alexandra: Yes, I'm afraid of a lot of things, mostly stupid stuff, the biggest fear I have though is being alone in life. I just want that someone special that you can be with, and you don't have to do or say anything to each other, you can just be together. I'm afraid that I won't have that, so I try and push past that fear when it rears it's ugly head and keep faith that it just isn't my time to have that yet

Di: Who or what has had the greatest impact on your life?
Alexandra: I've had a few powerful impacts on my life. The first being my mom. She's my idol, I hope to be like her one day. She's just and awesome lady and I can't say enough good things about her. The second powerful impact is my dad. He's taught me to be strong and independent, and through all his ribbing, he's helped me to develop a thick skin and how to have a good laugh, which is really important to me. Then I have four really good friends who've helped me to understand that I am liked for who I am and I shouldn't go out of my way to impress someone. Have I also mentioned I can get a little sappy?

Di: If you won a million dollar lottery, what would you do with it?
Alexandra: I'd help my parents get the house they want in Florida, I'd get a house that my brother, my best friend, her husband, her daughter, and myself could all move into together. Then I'd split the left over money to give to three charities. Cancer Research, Alzheimer's/Dimentia Research, and Sepsis Research. I've got family members who's gotten or have died from those three diseases.

~~ ~~ ~~

Di: Of the four sisters on the show, who are you most like, and why?
Alexandra: This is a tough question. I don't know if I relate to one more than the other. I'm stubborn like Prue and Phoebe. I'm nurturing like Piper, and I'm constantly trying to find that balance in my life that will make me feel complete like Paige. So I can't pick one over the other.

Di: What season or episode is the one that most defines what the show is all about in your opinion?
Alexandra: Boy this is a tough question. Hmmm. I see the show being about sisters and a strong bond. So any episode that shows that is good for me. I'd have to say that the episode that shows that the most is when Paige helps bring her family back together and she and Piper bring Phoebe back from the dark side. Especially at the end when they are all cuddled up on Phoebe's bed together.

Di: With the addition of baby Wyatt and now Chris, as well as other male members of the cast, do you feel as though the show has lost focus?
Alexandra: I think maybe they are trying a bunch of things to figure out the 'right way' to go, whatever that happens to be. So probably they have lost a little bit of focus. Maybe it will come back this season.

Di: What would you like to see in the future on the show?
Alexandra: I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see Prue make a return. Even just once and I don't mean any old Prue. I mean Shannen Doherty as Prue. I just think that she needs to make one short guest appearance.

Di: Did HMC and AM becoming Producers effect the show in anyway? If so how? And will Rose have that same effect, if they too make her a producer?
Alexandra: I think Holly and Alyssa becoming producers was good for them. I'm not exactly sure if it had any kind of positive or negative impact on the show. I think that it's good that Rose got the offer, though. I think that with all of them producing and acting, they can do what they want. Maybe they will be able to look at it and go, okay, let's try it this way instead. I think it just gives them a little bit more power and because they are the stars of the show, I think that's important

Di: Which Character has grown the most during the shows six-year run? Why?
Alexandra: I don't know if that's a fair question. Technically you can only choose from three, and I pick Piper. She just became stronger emotionally when Prue was around and she became even stronger when Prue died and Paige showed up. She even managed to find strength when Leo went up to be an elder.

Di: Now I would like to move on to a few questions about your writing. What made you start writing Fan Fiction?
Alexandra: That is a very good question. I think it was more of one of those things where I read and read and read, and what I read was great, and then I was like I want to see this. So as my dad taught me, if you want to see it done a certain way, then you do it and don't wait for someone else to do it for you. So I did.

Di: What type of fics do you find the most compelling to read, or write?
Alexandra: The most compelling to read are the ones where there is a lot of love and tenderness, this is the sap bit I mentioned before, and the most compelling ones to write are co-writes. I like the fact that I can write with other people, this is the acceptance bit I mentioned before. I just feel like for a small moment in time my opinions and thoughts really do matter.

Di: What fic was the most fun for you to write?
Alexandra: Okay this is the Libra in me. I really can't choose, they are all great, and when I've finished I feel proud of myself for writing something so intricate. I can't pick one. I love every story I've written, and I love doing the co-writes more. That's like a bonus. You get to write a little bit and then you had this idea of where you saw it going but your partner writes something else that's just as good. So as you are writing it you are still surprised.

Di: What sister is the easiest and the hardest, for you to write? Why?
Alexandra: None of them are easy, because I throw too much of myself into them when I write them, so I'm not really writing just the character by themself, and as I said before, I can realte to each and every one of them. So I don't know if I write them correctly all the time. By the way, for those of you who don't know, most Libras are very indecisive. Although, I'm sure you've figured that out by now about me.

Di: When you write, do you have a plot worked out, or just a general idea?
Alexandra: I only have a general idea and hope that I don't hit a brick wall when I write it. That is one of the reasons I wait to post. I don't want to interest someone in a story and then have it fall to crap later on and not be able to finish it. I've unfortunately done it with one story and I will never do that again.

Di: What advice would you give to a writer to help them improve their stories?
Alexandra: I would not offer general advice. I'm always happy to give my opinion when asked about a specific thing, but other than that I'll try and stay quiet.

Di: If you were asked to challenge another writer to write a story, who would it be, and why? What would the plot be?
Alexandra: Oh more tough questions. I think I would challenge anyone to do a story about Paige and how for whatever reason her drinking that was under control, finally get the better of her and she falls off the wagon and her sisters have to help her. The reason I extend it to anyone is because You all write so well that I think any and all of you could do a great job.

Well all that concludes another episode of Spell bound…once again fight safe because as you guys vanquish each other off my audience dwindles. Down. Bad for ratings .

The PME5 band strikes out their usual hip cord as the sax guitar and drum feels a familiar beat as the audience once again dissipates. Though the bad blood energy between them fill the air as Di and Pete spot the first flash of an energy ball as the door behind them all slowly closes….
"So AJ. need another Daquari?" Di hands her friend and guest another drink as they both walk off stage.


And again if you haven't already said. Do YOU wanna be a guest on SpellBound? leave your address and who knows. You could be the next vicim in front of hundereds of demons.
