I was thinking about making a thread like this. Cool!
My favorite script would probably be Kiss Of The Locust. It's the most fun and goriest script I've written. I also had the best time writing it since it was my first script. My thoughts upon finishing it were like "Wow! I wrote a script!" unlike the recent ones where my thoughts have been along the lines of "I'm finally finished." It's hard to pick favorites though because I love all my scripts. I guess I picked this one because I wrote it such a long time ago and it feels more like someone else's script now, which is the closest I'll get to seeing it like everyone else does. The others haven't reached that point yet.
House Of God is definitely my best though. It's the most sophisticated in terms of character development, dialogue, pace, and format. It's also the darkest, creepiest, and most original script I've written IMO. I definitely creeped myself out once or twice writing this one.
I can never pick a favorite anything really, but I'll do my best...
Of the two I've posted on Simply Scripts, I think Wrath of God is my favorite. Made me think while writing it and so far anyone who's read it said they loved that it left them to draw their own conclusions.
Overall, though, one of the three I'm writing right now is called Tainted Badges, about a political murder in 1956 Chicago. Though, I'm also fond of a horror/comedy I'm working on called Little Things That Kill.
Well, like I said, I can't pick a favorite anything.
Mine would have to be The Fempiror Chronicles as a whole. To pick out one of the parts to be the top of the top, I believe the Fempiror series pilot, Lost and Found, ranks as one of my favorites.
My favorite non-Fempiror script is Jagged, but I believe it's still listed as Bring Me To Life 2. I wrote it for someone else, but it turned out really, really well, and to me ranks as one of my all around best scripts ever...even though no one has really read it.
How long is a piece of string? You can't expect much (or anything) for shorts since they don't make money. A lot depends on the producer you're dealing with and the structure of the deal. There is no single answer.
Back on topic:
I'm like Greg in that I'm never satisfied with anything I write. I'm happy with the way 'Open Your Mind' is shaping up though. It's my first foray into Sci-Fi/Horror and so far it looks promising. I'll probably re-read it in a few weeks and absolutely hate it, but that's just me
JF, my friend, I'll get some money just from one these options, but I'm not expecting any money with my short scripts, because I just to give these producers just the rights to film a short movie only. (for god sake they are for free!) If someone wants to do a feature film for example, or a series, or a book, or a novel, or a play based on them that rights will be mine!
