This is my first attempt at writing a story. Though the creative part of me has long wanted to do this, the logical part of me insisted that I was dreaming to think that I could ever accomplish anything even close to this. Until I was finally motivated enough by Charmed for my creative side to win out and for me to seriously try it. Licet somnium.

Writing is generally a solitary endeavor. The many drafts and revisions of each episode, and the research done for the accuracy of the facts and details I included in them, often felt like a lonely and never ending task. So the affect of the encouragement, help and support I received that gave me the boost to keep going cannot be overstated. I would therefore be remiss if I did not thank and acknowledge the contributions of the people who were thus instrumental in my writing Charmed Role Reversal.

Shawn Papazian, movie producer, director and writer - and former Vice-President and Studio Manager of Ray-Art Studios where Charmed was filmed - for his encouragement, expert advice and above all, his warm friendship.

Melanie Austin, whose dedicated technical efforts enhanced the look and function of the pages' header and menus, giving the website, and thereby the story, a professional luster.

Jamie Barry, whose sharp-eyed, vigilant editing corrects my errors, vets my facts and reviews my plots, keeping the episodes readable and polished.

Andrea Haag, the Webmaster and Editor of TheCharmedOnes.com website, whose support, suggestions for, and insightful critiques of, Charmed Role Reversal through the early stages of its writing were invaluable.

And I must also thank Constance Burge for her vision of the Halliwells, and Shannen Doherty, Holly Combs and Alyssa Milano for bringing them to life in a realistic way, all of which let me relate to them. And thereby inspiring me to write Charmed Role Reversal.
