So far I think its really good!
I can't believe you just stopped right there though. I like your characters, even though they are part of the original series. I like your Prue. I hope you don't kill her off so soon. well, I hope you don't kill her period.
I also like the way you described them. Anyway, I hope you update soon! Oh, and as much as I love Chris, I saw your Henry Jr.'s profile, and I think he's hot! You did a good job picking a person who could pass for Paige and Henry's son. I actually think he kinda looks like both of them. But maybe more of Henry.

Thanks for the reviews! Shh, Elyna don't give anything away. Yeah, I'm going to continue to post the story on Inheritances. I'm also going to post them on Blessed too. I'm going to probably upload the series in all three places maybe here first, but I'll still post on your forums soon after. I've been busy working on my character profiles and playing with graphics (that I suck at btw) that I haven't had much time to work uploading. oh, and I have so many ideas for other episodes that I have to write down their summaries quickly before I forget them. Oh, and thank you, Elyna for letting me use the title Blessed. I think its a good name. Other fan fics about the next generation have called them the Charmed Ones too. I don't like that name because I think its a lot like the original, and a spin-off is supposed to be different.

lol, I won't give anything away, don't worry I know you don't give anything away until episode 6 of Blessed either You're welcome. As I said before, it honors me that you use my title in your spin off. Yeah, I don't to call them Charmed Ones either... although I called them in the beginning like that lol but then, gladly I came up with Blessed Children.

I think that was pretty good.
I would like to see a spin-off with the Charmed Ones kids.
It did kinda remind me of a Charmed episode. I'm glad you didn't kill off Prue. I also like how close the siblings and cousins are. It was cool how they all banded together to save Prue.
I would review more, but I have to go to school, so maybe I will later.
I hope you put the next episode up soon!

well, I will write a critique for your pilot just as you wrote one for mine. So I'm not going to say much more now I think you should have a board for Destiny general talk like I have for Blessed. So fans may can talk about Destiny as they'd like and wouldn't be limited to the Review episodes threads. Anyway, I love the opening song. I was about to choose it also for Blessed but then found another one. The opening is awesome. Are you going to make an opening video?

Hey, thanks for the idea. I'm going to go and do that now.
But in your response, I'm glad you like the opening song. I would love to make a video, if I only knew how. I've seen a lot of people make vidoes of their ff and post them on youtube. I would do that if I knew how.

all it takes is a video editing program and the clips you want to use It's easy once you figured out how the editing program works another tip from me, to get people interested in the spin-off, make these Destiny discussion sub-boards into main boards for everyone to read them. so they see what others opinions are and get curious

here it goes... my Destiny review
What can I say about that Charmed spin-off?
Nicole, writer and creator of Destiny describes in her spin-off the next generation of the Warren line, not only focusing on only Piper’s kids but also on Phoebe’s and Pagie’s. Going against the rules of the original Charmed facts she named Piper’s daughter Prue, after the oldest Charmed One who bewitched us until Season 3.
Destiny is a good example of family humour and affection. The way the relation between the new powerful witches – Blessed Ones - is described is very well done. You can see that they live for one another and really care about their relatives. You can see this for the first time in Destiny’s Pilot – The Awakening – where Prue is killed by two demons and stuck afterwards in a ghostly plane. You can’t deny that you just feel with the rest of the family when they believe to have lost Prue and all Blessed One try to safe her, no matter what.
Each one of the new generation has its own strength which Nicole puts in an advantage use for all Blessed. The old Charmed humour is also brought back in this show – along with the sibling rivalry.
Just like in Charmed’s pilot – Something Wicca This Way Comes – Destiny’s pilot – The Awakening – brings the three siblings meant to live in the manor together, together. Prue comes back from New York, which shows the roots this show has (Phoebe coming also back from New York to live in the manor along with Prue and Piper in Charmed’s pilot) while Chris moves from the dorms back home to the manor, where Wyatt was living alone.
When the three of them – Wyatt, Chris and Prue – finally decide to live together again and the chandelier literally sends a blue swirl of light that surrounds those three siblings it just reminds you of the original show – Charmed, first when the original Charmed Ones came together and at a second time when Paige was introduced as a new Charmed One.
But not only the Halliwell’s next generation is present in Destiny, also Darryl’s youngest son Michael is present, which I think is a very good way to honour Darryl himself for his great role. Destiny brings back what Charmed has lost after season 7 – loyalty to old friends.
Another thing that might be interesting is that this spin-off doesn’t require you to have seen or even know Charmed. Everything that relates Destiny to Charmed is very well explained by its writer, Nicole.
Out of all, a 10 out of 10 for it’s interesting pilot and cliff hanger. We know there’s a new enemy, but we don’t get to know him yet in the pilot.

Wow, thanks for that review. It left me a little speechless of how to respond back.
I did try to link a lot of things in the pilot to the original show, to remind the fans of Charmed, what we loved about it.
And yeah, I really did hate that they wrote Darryl off, so I had to somehow put him back in it, and that was through his son. But Michael won't be exactly like his dad either.
I had to put that blue light comin from the chandelier in because like the original show, when the Halliwell siblings come together in the Manor after being apart for so many years, that usually happens.
Hopefully, the next episodes of Destiny, you will like just as well as this one, hopefully better.
And as for the new enemy, he will be a surprise to the viewers. But until then, I won't give anything else away.
I'll just say thanks again for the great review!

Nicole!! I just want to congratulate you for that episode I don't know Charmed , but i like this ff very much..Destiny reveals the true family spirit, witches (the characters are all described very well), the strength and the courage.. This ff is very well explained, just like Elyna said, because i haven't seen any episode of charmed, and i understand the story very well I gave you 9/10. 10 will be for the next episode, lol.. ;D

Hey, thanks!
I'm always glad to have another reader. I'm so glad you like this. I do have part of the second episode up, and hopefully, I'll have the end of it up by the end of the week.
I've been so busy the past few days, I haven't had a lot of time to write.
Hope you keep reading. And I will try and find some episodes of Charmed on Youtube for you to watch.
And the characters profiles are up in the Character section if you want to see them.

Hey, I love this pilot. I agree with what others have said, its like Charmed but not. It does have the simialrities, but its also different. I like the characters and the relationships you created with them. I will read the other episodes tomorrow. But I give this a 9/10!
