After a year on the run, Luciferās right-hand-witch finds herself knee-deep in the tawdry trenches of Hollywood, seeking refuge in the neon-lit chaos to escape the consequences of her actions. But her immortality comes with a price, and the Devil has come to collect: one soul for every year she has taken breath. Anything less and she can kiss this world goodbye.
With monsters lurking around every corner, October finds herself in a high-stakes race against time. As the deadline looms, her past comes crashing back in the form of Declan Lovejoy, a demon hunter who is as formidable as he is handsome. Driven by his own vendetta against the forces of evil, Declan enlists her help in a covert mission, one that complicates her impossible task and may soil her reputation within the Underworld.
In a city where danger and desire intertwine, October faces the battle of a millennium to save her soul. Will she manage to outwit the Devil and reclaim her life, or will her forbidden love be her undoing?

The Timeless Appeal of Diaries in a Digital World
In an age where everything from meetings to grocery lists can be tracked through a smartphone, one might wonder if diaries still hold a place in our fast-paced, tech-driven society. The answer is a resounding yes. Diaries continue to be an essential tool for individuals and businesses alike, offering a tactile and organized way to keep track of daily tasks, appointments, and thoughts. Whether for personal use or as part of a corporate branding strategy, the value of a well-designed diary cannot be underestimated.
Business Diaries: The Professional's Companion
For business professionals, organization is key to productivity and success. This is where business diaries come in. A business diary not only serves as a practical tool for scheduling meetings, tracking deadlines, and setting reminders but also as a reflection of professionalism. A carefully chosen diary can convey an air of competence and attention to detail.
Business diaries also offer ample space for jotting down important notes during meetings or brainstorming sessions. While digital calendars are convenient, many professionals find that the physical act of writing helps them better retain information and think creatively. A well-organized business diary can help executives stay on top of their game in a way that digital tools sometimes fail to do.
Irish Diaries: A Cultural Staple with Local Charm
In Ireland, Irish diaries are not just functional tools but also a reflection of local heritage and tradition. These diaries often incorporate Irish themes, colors, and motifs, making them popular gifts and keepsakes. Irish diaries are favored by individuals who appreciate a blend of functionality and cultural significance.
For businesses, offering Irish-themed diaries as corporate gifts is a way to connect with clients and employees on a personal level. These diaries serve as both a practical tool and a symbol of Irish pride, making them a perfect choice for those looking to support local craftsmanship while staying organized.
Custom Diary: Tailored to Your Needs
One of the most appealing aspects of a custom diary is its ability to be tailored specifically to individual preferences or corporate branding. Customization options include the addition of logos, personalized colors, and specific layouts designed to suit the unique needs of the user. A custom diary ensures that your organizational tool is both functional and aligned with your personal or business identity.
For companies, custom diaries are an excellent way to reinforce branding. By incorporating logos, company slogans, and brand colors, businesses can offer their clients and employees a useful gift that also keeps their brand top of mind. Custom diaries make for highly effective promotional tools, offering year-round visibility without being overtly sales-focused.
Planning Ahead with 2025 Diaries
As we approach the new year, many are already thinking about how to stay organized and focused. Investing in 2025 diaries is a proactive step toward achieving that goal. A diary designed specifically for the year 2025 offers ample space to plan, prioritize, and reflect on the year ahead, ensuring that no detail is missed.
Whether you're preparing for business growth or personal goals, having a dedicated space to map out the year will help keep you on track. By starting the year with a well-structured diary, you can set clear goals, manage time more effectively, and ensure that you stay on top of both personal and professional commitments.
The Benefits of Physical Diaries Over Digital Alternatives
While digital planners and calendars are undeniably convenient, physical diaries offer benefits that digital alternatives cannot match. A physical diary provides a distraction-free space to plan and reflect, unlike digital tools that are often prone to interruptions from notifications and emails. Additionally, the tactile experience of writing in a diary has been shown to enhance memory retention and focus.
Physical diaries also offer a sense of accomplishment as you check off completed tasks and see your progress over time. They provide a personal and tangible connection to your thoughts, plans, and aspirations in a way that digital platforms simply cannot replicate.
Diaries as Corporate Gifts
For businesses looking to strengthen relationships with clients and employees, diaries make excellent corporate gifts. Not only are they practical, but they also provide daily brand exposure. A thoughtfully designed business diary or custom diary can make a lasting impression, offering recipients a tool they will use throughout the year.
Diaries are ideal for end-of-year gifts, employee appreciation, or client thank-yous. They communicate professionalism and thoughtfulness, especially when personalized to reflect the brand or the recipient's preferences. These gifts offer long-term value, as they are used regularly and help keep the giverās brand top of mind.
By choosing a diary that suits the personality or needs of the recipient, businesses can enhance their brand image and create positive associations.

BASICS ā
full name: alice marisol romero
nicknames: none
birthdate: 4 august 2025
birthplace: plattsburgh, new york
ethnicity: columbian, cuban, and caucasian
nationality: american, englishĀ
languages: english, spanish
accent: slight bronx accent
APPEARANCE ā
hair color & style: dark brown, usually kept waist-length and wavy, with green tips after breaking up with nigel
eye color: dark brown
height: five feet five inches
build: thicc. muscular but also hyper-feminine
skin tone: olive skin that rarely burns and tans well
personal style:Ā
grunge lite. alice prefers to be comfortable above all else, so soft fabrics and denim are her go-tos. when she dates nigel she adopts a more instagram ho aesthetic to match his, but her heart isnāt really into bodycon dresses if she cant accessorize them with doc martens and a flannel.Ā
distinguishing marks: expressive face
tattoos:Ā āesforzadaā on back of neck (Ā xĀ ), ivy on left wrist (Ā xĀ )
piercings: two piercings in both lobes, helix piercing in left ear, daith and industrial in right ear, belly button
FAMILY ā
parents: noah romero and lia villace
parental relationships:
while seth is more gregarious, alice is a quiet reflection of noah. as a result, their relationship deals largely in companionable silence. heās not one to gossip with but always good help for moral quandaries. heās also more likely to catch alice in the middle of doing something wrong,Ā but mostly just offers gentle advice and hopes for the best. alice really hates to disappoint her father.
lia is a fun parent. alice almost always has fun with her mother, even if the interaction ends on a sour note. she can run a lot of day-to-day thoughts past her mother-- lia is kept mostly in the loop about the goings on in her daughterās life. however, some compulsion leads alice to remain silent about her love life as it seems like it would be much easier to let her mother believe that everything is going fine.
siblings: rex, seth, and michael romero
sibling relationships:
when rex came into their lives, alice understood the difference between her twin and an actually older brother immediately. she enjoys spending time with rex, and ever since she was young she was always content to tag along with herĀ āfunā brother.
what can alice say about seth? they know each other better than anyone else, and speak almost exclusively in snark. but opposites donāt always attract, and their very big, drastically different personalities clash and erupt frequently. when times are good, though, theyāre each otherās biggest hype-man as they snap another selfie.
michael is a strange one, but alice will always hold a tenderness for her little brother. sheās helped house dozens of wild animals and filmed a vine or two in her time. while sheās not keen on him bringing insects into the house itād certainly be difficult for her to turn him down for anything.
birth order: only girl, younger twin, middle child
status in family:
alice likes to think that sheās practically invisible in her family. sheās not as rebellious as rex, or as obnoxious as seth, or as rambunctious as michael. but alice is a quiet ride-along for almost everyone in her family-- she really holds good relationships with everyone in the house. for the most part, it really seems like her parents and brother just want the best for her.
distant relations: bash romero, second cousin
pets:
wells and bilbo, the dogs, are always happy to see her, but sheās also conditioned them to remain quiet if they want a treat from her nightly comings and goings. felix, the cat, is a good companion on a gloomy day, with alice finding comfort in his rumbling, sleepy purr.
FRIENDS ā
close friends:
alice has known ellie albright since birth. or even before that since ellieās parents attended the same birthing classes as aliceās. the albrights returned to italy for a few years shortly after ellieās birth but the two girls were paired up again before they could even tie their shoes. theyāve been best friends ever since. ellie brightens alice up to draw out a softer side than alice rarely presents alone. alice makes ellie more assertive, unafraid to stand up for her friend if she thinks ellie needs help.
it took rumi thatcher a bit longer to enter the picture, but sheās not going anywhere. rumiās dead-pan sense of humor endeared her to alice immediately after she moved into town in the forth grade. ever the calm logician, rumi finds great amusement in tempering aliceās hot temper. they share a mutual love of nature that often leads them to dreamy afternoons surrounded by beautiful woods.
technically considered a cousin through brotherly love, dallas hong is probably the only boy that alice can completely get along with. heās certainly the easiest to get along with out of her brotherās crew, with his laidback guyās guy charm. while sheās annoyed at how tall heās gotten as they age, she knows that his easygoing personality wonāt ever change on her.
tensions:
adam hudson has been sethās best friend for years, but his and aliceās interactions have always been tentative. he has a way of confronting her with the truth when sheās least likely to accept it. their relationship is hard to define, atleast on aliceās part.
alice and dapne newcomb used to be friends, much to the chagrin of ellie and rumi. the brash blonde wasnātĀ always a good influence, and they tended to clash over their many differences in opinion. it wasnāt until alice supposedly āstoleā nigel chadwick-wembley from daphne that their relationship fractured completely. daphne is the root cause for much of the suffering alice experienced in high school, so sheās not at all keen to rekindle the friendship.
if thereās one person that alice could do without ever seeing again, itās nigel chadwick-wembley. he was her first real boyfriend, but the supposed fairytale beginning led to nothing but trouble, even if alice did her best to keep anyone from finding out about the more controlling aspects of his personality. they were on-again off-again for so long, but alice finally broke it off for good and never looked back.
thereās nothing wrong with ruby robbins-- in fact, sheās perfect. alice has always felt like she was competing with the other girl, even if thatās hardly true. they share similar interests but rubyās easygoing demeanor makes everything seem so effortless in a way that alice canāt help but envy. she does consider ruby a friend, though, and would do anything for her if she asked.
crushes:
so much of the tension in aliceās relationship with adam hudson stems entirely from their mutual attraction. when they were much younger she was aware of it but content to ignore it, but as theyāve grown older things have changed. alice finds herself at odds with his ill-suited girlfriend and with him over it. ever since she kissed him on christmas, the muddled emotions there have only gotten worse.
the first boy that ever had alice truly starstruck was leo robbins. the definition of a cool, older boy, leoās appeal quickly passed but she remained impressed by his sense of style and teenage rebellion. in fact, alice was quick to take up his mantle selling weed to a few of their acquaintances when leo decided to move on from the business.Ā
as a friend:
alice is a friend like batman-- sheāll come if you send out the signal. anytime anywhere, alice will be by your side if youād let her. sheās fiercely protective of them and will want to help them achieve their goals no matter how trivial. she can be too blunt at times, which tends to rub people the wrong way if itās not quite what they want or expect to hear. but sheāll have your back until the end, without sayingĀ āi told you soā to anyone but seth.
PERSONALITY ā
positive traits: enterprising, candid, empatheticĀ
neutral traits: self-sufficient, meticulous, noncommittal
negative traits: volatile, withdrawn, self-involved
astrology sign: leo sun / gemini moon, the confidence man (Ā xĀ )
mbti: istp-t, the virtuoso
theme songs: iām not okay (i promise) by my chemical romance / agnes by glass animals
aesthetic:
dyeing your hair in the bathroom, guitar calluses, jumping off the porch roof, lilac bushes, the solitary silence of 4 am, soil between your fingers and toes
LIFESTYLE ā
partying habits:
a stoner to the max, alice deals quite literally in weed, inheriting a small client base from leo robbins. when she first started dating nigel, alice found she didnāt mind the party scene. thereās always fun to be had, and she can handle her alcohol. sheās also not necessarily opposed to experimenting at parties-- if thereās a good time to be had, alice will try a sporadic drug or two without feeling particularly inclined to do these things later on her own.Ā Ā
smoking habits:
directly inherited from her father, alice took up smoking as an act of teenage rebellion and favors menthol cigarettes. she finds it calming to smoke late at night when no one is around, or whenever she is overwhelmed by the situation at hand. finds it to be a handy tool to escape social situations if things arenāt going well.
eating habits:
growing up in a four-child household has definitely made alice a bit food aggressive. she eats when the opportunity presents itself but doesnāt pig out very often. snacks usually seem like a good idea, and alice is content to bring healthy options when she can. late-night meals are a staple in her diet. salty-sweet combinations are her usual favorite.
excercise habits:
alice has been practicing aikido and tae kwon do since she was young, and as a result has adopted a fair amount of exercise and weight training into her daily routine. mostly she just works to maintain equilibrium and not lose any muscle mass or physical ability, but if sheās feeling particularly stressed or upset sheāll throw herself into her workouts.
work ethic:
itās aliceās belief that she can work hard and play hard, so long as she meets the deadlines set out for her. sheās got decent time management skills and works best with a loose schedule where she can make the decisions about what to do, when. when it comes to school work, alice is content to maintain her good grades in order to fly under the radar with her parents.Ā
sleeping habits:
when alice feels tired she can fall asleep anywhere, but her penchant for the peace of nighttime usually finds her awake well into the early mornings. she is a deep sleeper, but an agreeable one. sharing a bed with her is not a bad experience as sheāll typically move wherever she is prodded without much fuss. she usually prefers to sleep with a loose comforter and top sheet and will cocoon inside. waking up outside of her typical routine can be a challenge, but once alice wakes up she is awake for good.
ideal living space:
aliceās bedroom at home is well-lit and cozy, with an abundance of houseplants in any available spot of sunlight. her walls are filled with things she likes looking at: posters of her favorite bands, watercolor prints she and ellie made, and endless photos of herself and her friends. she usually takes time once a week to clean up, as she has a tendency to drop clothes or books wherever they lay as she moves onto something else.
quirks:
despite being a fan of all things spooky, jump scares always get her good. sheās usually the middle person in the haunted house group, and subsequently is always getting picked on. she will let you borrow anything she owns, but itās of utmost importance that you ask first.
INTERESTS ā
hobbies:
alice has been playing guitar and practicing martial arts since she was very small. her love for plants wasnāt fostered until later in life, but she prides herself on rehabilitating various wilted houseplants she happens upon. she loves a good smoke session and will make a whole event out of some rolling papers and a gram of fresh weed. sheās usually a pretty willing participant in any photoshoots that ellie cooks up.
best school subject:
science has always been a passion of aliceļæ½ļæ½s. sheās a stem student through and through, excelling in maths and sciences from a very young age. through high school she took college level chemistry and biology courses.
worst school subject:
history always presented its challenges, but as alice grew older and her inability to learn much hands on coupled with the fact that most schooling was a little on the white supremacist side of the situation, alice tended to skip these classes as much as possible or spend as long as she could backtalking a teacher just trying to stick to curriculum.Ā
opinion of education:
alice doesnāt mind school itself-- college classes are perfectly designed to give alice all the free space she needed in a high school curriculum. but her not-so-stellar experience with the allegedly popular social scene made her more than ready to finally be free of high school.
career aspirations / achievements:
a perfect overlap of her loves of science and nature, alice dreams of becoming a bioengineer. sheās well on her way to it, quickly showing aptitude for higher-level stem courses from an early age.
favorite things:
her guitar, family breakfasts, american beauty, ellie & rumi, pop punk music, hand-rolled joints,Ā ghost adventures,Ā Ā her freshly-made bed, chocolate covered pretzels, restarting the bell jar,Ā Ā when plants grow new leaves, her led zeppelin shirt (Ā xĀ ), god of high school
boredom cure:
driving then walking, or just walking, as far as you can in silence, discovering a beautiful spot to watch the sun set, or rise, depending on when the urge strikes.

Charmed! 2025 Covid Policy Update
Charmed! 2025 Covid-19 Policy
Charmed! is committed to hosting the safest event we possibly can as the world continues to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. In light of this, the Convention Committee (āConComā) will continue to require up to date Covid vaccinations as well as masking for our attendees, staff, and volunteers at Charmed! 2025.
In addition, hand sanitizer stations will be available throughout Convention Space (āCon Spaceā) and our Dungeon Monitors (āDMsā) will be extremely proactive in reminding people to clean their equipment - if you need help please ask and it will be provided!
Please read the following policies carefully! They contain several important dates and deadlines ā ignorance of these policies will not result in any exemptions.
Vaccination Policy
The newest Covid-19 vaccine update has been evaluated and released for use in the United States to people aged 6 months and older for Fall 2024. People can get the vaccination if it has been at least 2 months since their last vaccination for Covid-19. People who have not previously been vaccinated for Covid-19 are considered āup to dateā with their vaccinations after receiving this single dose.
This vaccine update is free under most insurance plans in the United States (including Medicaid and Medicare), but is no longer offered for free by the United States government.
Free vaccinations may be available on a state-by-state basis; so check whether or not your state has a free adult vaccination program if you require a free option. People based in the United States can search for their local Health Department here: https://www.naccho.org/membership/lhd-directory
People who have been diagnosed with Covid-19 may wait 3 months before getting the updated vaccine.
In order to attend Charmed! 2025 in-person you must be up to date with your Covid vaccination: a person who is āup to dateā with their vaccinations beginning September, 2024 is a person who has received the latest updated vaccine, released in September, 2024.
Vaccinations typically take around two weeks to reach full efficacy; therefore for the purposes of Charmed! 2025 vaccinations will be considered valid if they are received by or before Monday, January 6th, 2025.
In-person attendees of Charmed! 2025 will be required to show proof of āup to dateā vaccination received in good time ā that is, they must show proof that they have received the Fall 2024 vaccine update by or before January 6th, 2025. Proof may be in the form of one of the following: official paper vaccine card, electronic vaccine card, photocopy or digital representation of official vaccine card, website listing your name/vaccination date, dated email for an applicable vaccination appointment, a photograph of some part of the vaccination process (eg. the vial of serum), or other applicable media. If you are unsure that your form of proof will be valid, please contact us before arriving at the event. Proof of vaccination will be verified at badge pick-up.
You can contact us using one of the following ways: Email us at: [email protected] Contact us through Charmed! social media: Twitter: https://twitter.com/CharmedHypno Fetlife: https://fetlife.com/groups/121240?sp=1 Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/charmedhypno Bluesky: https://charmedhypnocon.bsky.social/ Discord: DM @Noelle - I have answers!
People who are unable to get the updated Covid-19 vaccine for a three month period ending with the final day of Charmed! 2025 (January 26th, 2025) due to a previous Covid-19 infection will be considered āup to dateā for the purposes of in-person attendance. Please contact ConCom if you become Covid-positive within this window.
IMPORTANT: if you have a Covid-19 infection that results in you being able to get the updated vaccine within the two week time period before Charmed! 2025 begins ā that is, January 8th through January 22nd ā you will not be considered āup to dateā with your vaccination and will be ineligible to attend Charmed! 2025 in person.
PLEASE NOTE: the three month waiting period is a CDC recommendation and it may be possible for people to get the updated vaccine within that time period.
In-person attendees at Charmed! 2025 will be required to show proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken within 48 hours of badge pick-up, (over-the-counter test is okay), in picture form in order to pick up their badge. Please do not bring a physical test with you to badge pick up - a picture on your phone is sufficient.
Mask Policy
In-person attendees at Charmed! 2025 will be required to wear well-fitting, high quality masks, such as N95s, KN95s, and FFP2s (or equivalent) at all times while in official convention space. This includes both the private convention area and Con Suite, as well as semi-public areas such as registration and the hallway outside of the upstairs classrooms.
If you are unable to acquire an N95 or similar mask, then pleated surgical masks are acceptable as a last resort.
Examples of unacceptable masks include: bandanas, gaiters, and scarfs.
Presenters and demo-bottoms may choose to remain unmasked only while actively presenting.
There are no mask exceptions for evening social events and dungeon play.
Masks may be raised, but not removed, in order to sip water and/or eat small snacks in Convention Space as needed.
A small number of masks may be available via Convention Operations for people who need them; however, we cannot guarantee this so please do your best to procure your own.
Testing Policy
In 2024, we did not require that attendees test daily but did highly recommend that they do so. For 2025, we are again highly recommending that people test daily before entering convention space. Over the counter tests are excellent at detecting a viral load in someone who is contagious, and are currently the best way for people to determine if they need to isolate themselves.
Convention Operations may have a small number of tests available for people who need them; please do not count on this and do your best to procure your own.
Policy Exemptions
Residents of countries that do not offer updated Covid-19 vaccines to the general population may be considered exempt from the requirement to be up-to-date by United States standards as long as they have received and can show confirmation that they received the primary course of vaccinations; that is, the original shot plus the two follow up shots.
We ask that people in non-U.S. countries who are eligible to receive updated vaccines continue to do so.
Attendees who are offered exemptions to the 2025 Covid-19 policy will be required to test daily while in attendance in person at Charmed! 2025 and to send verification of their negative test result to a member of ConCom before they are allowed entrance into official con space.
Failure to follow this policy may result in that personās badge being pulled and them no longer being able to attend Charmed! 2025 in person.
We will continue to assess the status of attendees with possible medical exemptions on a case by case basis. If you are affected by this policy, please contact us as soon as you can via email at [email protected] or dm Noelle_8033 on Discord.
There are no exemptions to the masking policy.
Covid Infections & Isolation Policy
Attendees, including all staff members, volunteers, presenters, etc, will be required to report and self-isolate if they test positive for Covid-19 while attending Charmed! 2025.
For the purposes of Charmed! 2025, an attendee who is āself-isolatingā will remain in their private room as much as possible and will not enter any shared hotel spaces with convention members, including but not limited to: official Convention Spaces (areas past our security check points), shared convention spaces (eg. the badge pick up area, the hallway outside of upstairs classrooms), and the Charmed! 2025 Consuite (the enclosed room outside of regular Con space that is across from the public fireplace seating area.)
ConCom reserves the right to expand this list during the Convention in order to accommodate the number of in-person attendees present at Charmed! 2025.
Out of an abundance of caution, an initial positive test result will be taken as confirmation of infection, regardless of subsequent testing.
**The identity of anyone that contracts Covid-19 while at Charmed! 2025 will be kept anonymous unless otherwise unavoidable, unless that person wishes to share their identity.
Failure to report and self-isolate will result in the infected attendeeās badge being pulled and potentially a ban from Charmed! in the future.**
Reporting & Contact Tracing Policy
Anyone becoming positive for Covid-19 while attending Charmed! 2025 will be required to report and self-isolate. They will need to identify to ConCom classes/areas where they have been, including private spaces, and ConCom will inform the attendee population that they may have been exposed to Covid-19.
**The identity of anyone that contracts Covid-19 while at Charmed! 2025 will be kept anonymous unless otherwise unavoidable, unless that person wishes to share their identity.
Failure to report and self-isolate will result in the infected attendeeās badge being pulled and potentially a ban from Charmed! in the future.**
Charmed! 2025 is committed to providing as safe an environment as possible for our attendees. This may mean that our vaccination/mask requirements are stronger/stricter than those of other events or organizations. We understand that this can be frustrating, and we appreciate your adherence to these policies that are for the benefit of every attendee at Charmed! 2025.

Charmed! Hypnovember 2023 Days 24 - 27
If you celebrate Thanksgiving, how was your holiday? Did you have so much to do that you didn't do any Hypnovember prompts? Like me?
Please enjoy this Very Long Postā¢ of the last 4 prompts!
Day 24 - Who is the most memorable person you've ever met at Charmed!?
You know, I thought this was a really good question, until I started trying to answer it. The honest truth is that I can't remember anymore who I first met at Charmed! and who I first met somewhere else!
Day 25 - Find/create a picture that could be used to advertise for Charmed!2024.
If you follow us on instagram, then you've already seen this!
Day 26 - Share an example of something unexpected that has happened to you at Charmed!.
Joining the Concom, by a large margin!
Day 27 - What's something that everyone needs to know about Charmed!?
I could talk about how we're a wonderful place for new people to enter the community. I could talk about how our volunteers, presenters, and attendees make this con something special. I could talk about how each year we try to expand and innovate in ways that will make us more accessible to a larger range of people...and all those things are true!
And also, here are a few more concrete things that people interested in attending Charmed! need to know:
Counting today, there are exactly 46 days left until Charmed!2024!
Counting today, there are exactly 24 days until registration prices go up for both the hybrid and online only versions of Charmed!2024!
Counting today, there are exactly 19 days until the deadline for submitting evening event proposals for Charmed!2024!
Counting today, there are exactly 6 days until the deadline for submitting a vending application for Charmed!2024!
Counting today, there are exactly 4 days until out next Charmed! Chat!
And for people who really like to plan ahead, counting today, there are 411 days +/- 10 until Charmed!2025! Why the +/-? Well... in January 2025 there's going to be a Presidential inauguration, and that means that Charmed!2025 will happen either the week before or the week after our normal MLKJr weekend dates.
Still need to register for Charmed!2024? You can do that HERE! Want to submit an evening event? You can do that HERE! Do you have something to vend? You can apply HERE! Please come to our Charmed! Chat! Join our Discord HERE! (The Chat is at 8pm Eastern on November 30th.)

Check your deadlines, folks! Particularly this one: January 6th, 2025: LAST DAY FOR COVID VACCINATION FOR IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE
The worst part of my job with Charmed! is having to tell people that they can't attend in-person because they didn't get their vaccination in time. Please don't procrastinate!
There are 70 days left until Charmed! 2025! And that sounds like a long time, right up until it isn't anymore. Here are the deadlines that you need to be aware of between now and January 23rd, 2025:
December 6th, 2024: Vending Applications Close December 13th, 2024: final day to submit evening event proposals December 20th, 2024, early bird registration ends - online only, regular registration ends - hybrid (in-person) January 6th, 2025: LAST DAY FOR COVID VACCINATION FOR IN-PERSON ATTENDANCE January 10th, 2025: last day to convert registration January 17th, 2025: LAST DAY TO REGISTER
