Reminds me at "Charmed" Would it not be better, to have a new idea?
Years ago, I created a short story series called "The Power of the Three Witches". Three women of different ages and sexual orientations, learn to clash despite prejudice, especially to help women and children to prevail against stupid men, demons and a patriarchal system. It's written in German, but maybe this short story series will help you get an idea. Click here for the link.

The story "Das Geschenk der Macht (The gift of Power) is the first story. (item 1)

Gerlinde,

There are hundreds of examples of similar movies and stories told.

Sometimes it's not about the idea it's about the execution.

If you feel the story is too similar, make it new and fresh.

Make sure you finish it and submit for feedback.
The process alone will make you a better writer.

All the best,
Marty

I am currently working on a German screenplay version of my short story series, which I am revising. Do you think it would be something new, because it does not need three sisters, but all women have different ages? And different sexual orientations (heterosexual, lesbian, transsexual), and everything has a feminist content?
This work of mine will be just as bad as anything I work on. I will not publish it here because my English is not sufficient for a US version.

Gerlinde,

Please start a new thread in "My Work In Progress" to discuss this further as it is not fair to hijack the authors (CJ) feedback thread.

Also, CJ -- my apologies. I thought that this was Gerlinde's script.
Expect a review of "Magical Gifts" from me in the very near future.

All the best,
Marty
