Apart from the long length, the formatting seems off. Some are written in Russian.

Yes. I'm the writer of Strange Horizons: Surviving Esperance!: By Any Other Name. The length is because it's a two part 50 minutes per half episode and there are several foreign alphabets that appear throughout the script, due to the international aspect of the plot. I'm surprised this project has been read, so quickly, though pleased about it, nonetheless. As to formatting, I used Microsoft wordpad. to duplicate as best I could the formatting used in downloadable scripts I read from Stranger Things, Walking Dead and Star Trek. Naturally wordpad is not quite as good as a screenplay software for formatting. Thanks for your feedback!

I would recommend writerduet - It is free to use online (no downloads) - You can hold 3 scripts in the free version

It is really easy to use and will format it for you (for the most part)

If you are going to write - would do so in the right format - it'll kill you right out of the gate if you don't. Lots of free software
