This post is for everyone to pick one script that they wrote. That one script that you think everyone should read. That one script that you believe is the most amazing piece of work you have ever written.

(I am still working on this. So if you're name is not on here yet then wait. If you responded with your best script it will be on here within the next day or two.)


Andrew Romance - The Basement

sryknows - Happy Endings

Zombie Sean - Dead and Walking

My BEST would probably be HAPPY endings.  However, my FAVORITE is What Is "Normal"?

Mine is "Dead and Walking" and you can find it by clicking the first link in my signature.

Humm...I don't no...Let me see...Gosh, nearly 30 scripts already written and I can't find any that I considere my best... Sorry, really I don't know what my best script, maybe it will be my next I'll write...

My Dear Loo (in short section) was in Mike Shelton's best short list, so it could be my best.

Quoted from Antemasque
That one script that you believe is the most amazing piece of work you have ever wrote.


Should be written.  Sorry, but that would bug me.

I dunno, the script that has gotten the best reviews so far is  "A Very Bad Day", buried within the short section.

My favorite though, is "The Search for the Great American Jackelope" which is in my sig.

My personal favorite would be Linus (aka:  Dog Run), because it really shook up some of the readers and scared them.  It was probably the only thing that I wrote where I was crying while writing it.  And also because I came up my favorite character that I created through it.

Mine, for now, would be Eragon. But that will change when my next feature comes out in the next few months.

I don't know.  I like the ones I advertise in my signature equally.  As for "best," I still don't know.  Each one has certain qualities that puts it ahead of the other.

I'm all about equality.

House Of God, no question. It's not only my best but my favorite as well. It's the closest script I've written to 100% original. I wrote completely from scratch and didn't feel the need to manipulate any pre-existing formulas because, at the time I conceived the idea, there were none that fit my story. It's also the most dramatic piece I've written, with the most realistic characters, and also the darkest, most atmospheric, and most brutal.

My personal favorite would have to be "Appalachia."  I think it is very original and the characters seem real.  It is probably the only thing I've written where I just hated to end my script because I wanted the character's story to continue.  The short also let me dive into a little of my state's heritage.

Its also my favorite for  the simple fact that one reviewer said that my descriptions were so poetic that I had to have been plagiarising them from a novel.  When they found out I wasn't, they gave me some great compliments.

Any guesses here? Yeah, I'm still really fond of The Fempiror Chronicles. There's nots to choose from, but I feel like if anything I write will be my claim to fame, it will be that one. I may have some other ones that might do critically better, but I'll always like my Fempiror.

My best is episodes 21-to-24 of BANANA CHAN.  Those four episodes are the first action-adventure plot-line in the series, and those four episodes have an amazing co-writer.  I didn't do those scripts alone, and they are much better than anything I could have done alone.  Those four episodes are my best work, and I want everyone in the world to read them ... NOW!

My best work has got be Gravy People. I've started a slight rewrite for the ending only and parts in between that connect most with the ending. It's going to be one of the most original idea's I'll ever write on paper and I'm very, very proud of it.

The one I definitely prefer is "Forever... and Again" based on a lot of my real life. This should be the only script where one can see the true me through. If I have to fight for only one of my script, it would that one.

I have several in different categories

Virtual Series - Jackson Cruise 2x04 'The Operation'. While writing this I thought 'Wow, this has real substance.' Usually I can't re-read my virtual scripts, this stands up well.

Comic-Book - Reynard City Issue 10. Lotta drafts, but it works. It does.

Screenplay - Twilight Saga. Yeah, yeah... it's deriatrive, but what can I say, I just dig the universe it's in and the characters.

Short - Tomorrow. My favourite of all I've done. I think I'm close to topping it.

I think my favorite is the recent rewrite of Tattoo which is now titled, "Inked", for lack of a better title.

Mine would have to be Requiem from one of dogglebe's one-week writing contests.

Mine would be Doggybag, which I'm still currently writing.

I guess the script I would best love to see on the silver screen would be THROUGH ANGELS' EYES because it takes you through all the emotions you carry inside you, and because it is the script everyone seems to hold dearest and the one that has placed in every competition it entered.  Maybe someday it will run across the right producer's eyes.  I don't have it live here yet.  Maybe in a few weeks I will.  I'm waiting to see if something in the works is goind to develop or not.

My personal favorite is TOMMY TWO-SHAKES, a script I have just in the last few days put in the drama section.  I feel it is my best overall work, but if you don't like a non-linear script you wouldn't like it.  It's a PULP FICTION, MOMENTO, THE USUAL SUSPECTS type script, full of flashbacks, but that's the only way this particular script would work.

My scripts are:

STARR
LONE STARR
OSGOOD'S DREAM
THE SHELTER (under contract with Your Half Pictures http://www.yourhalf.com)
THROUGH ANGELS' EYES
ALL-AMERICAN JOE
COMANCHE CARL
MIRRORED
TOMMY TWO-SHAKES
