Full Version: Any Interest In Reading A Full Length Fan Script?
USA Network Forums > USA Network Originals > Psych

As a writer I frequently write full length episodes as a writing exercise. It's a great way to practice writing since you're working with already developed characters and is especially fun with a comedy/detective show like Psych.

Anyways I was curious if there was any interest in reading my script? I'll try and post it to fanfiction if they allow me to post it in script form without messing up the formatting. I don't have the patience to reformat all 44 pages of it smile.gif

let me know if there is interest in this.

if fanfiction lets me it should be up there within the next hour

otherwise i'll find somewhere else to put it

Also...producers can feel free to read it as well smile.gif I am available for employment! Hire me and save me from ever writing c++ code inside a cubicle ever again!

I like it so far... I have to finish reading it later though. good job!

thanks smile.gif

I'm working on a new one that is a bit more cohesive. I relied too much on dialogue-driven humor over situational humor. It's a pitfall for me since I'm not so great at writing situational humor I always find myself steering towards the dialogue humor which comes a bit more natural.

A few problems with that link...it's not all centered and formatted as a screenplay should be (I wrote it in Final Draft and it didn't import well)...also SEAN should obviously be spelled SHAWN.

I actually had to go through after I was complete and add more scenes with the chief, juliet and lassiter since 80% of the original screenplay was all shawn and gus interaction

the new one I'm working on should be a bit different. The Great Outdoors kind of fell into the general formula for the first few episodes of this show...didn't really steer out of the norm.

hit me with any criticism you got...it only helps me as a writer

I really liked it! I could see it all being played out in my head... it was great! The only thing I saw wrong were some spelling errors... and I'm not one to criticize, sorry, never really could. But keep 'em coming!

thanks for the kind words. Yeah, my bad on the spelling errors. Theres a few small ones in there I didn't catch. It should be updated soon with SEAN spelled SHAWN and the few other errors fixed

I read the script. There were a couple points (not very many at all, but a few near the beginning) where the wording didn't really seem like the way the character would say something...but that is simply due to the fact that its different people writing, so completely understandable. Other than that I could see every word, every action, every scene...you did really well...please post if you write and add another one because I would very much love to read it.

I thought it was very good. ^^ It kept to the characters well, and was well written.

Also, B.Y.O.S., Brilliant.

I thought it was really good. It stuck to the characters all the way through. It had great ideas too. I sort of got lost though on why he was tied to the motor bike. Maybe I didn't read it clearly or something. But yeah organization could be worked on, like the way everything fits together. But really it was awsome! I thought it was way funny, fast paced and interesting.
