Thanks to Erick for this link to the script of the pilot episode of Fringe (pdf format).

A television drama centered around a female FBI agent who is forced to work with an institutionalized scientist in order to rationalize a brewing storm of unexplained phenomena.

Hey Folks,

Over on the Unproduced Scripts page we have 24 original works (or derivatives) up for your reading pleasure. There are more Scarefest 2 scripts and another in the Terminator series - Terminator 5: Ashes of War from Ross who was one of the first to have his unproduced works posted to SimplyScripts back in 2000. You can thank, among others, Ross for kicking off the unproduced scripts section. He was one of several folks who send me their works wondering if I would post them. I did post his work and now we have over four thousand Unproduced Scripts on the site and a Screenwriting Discussion Board. - Don

It was a little over ten years ago when I started my new job as a tech writer for a large, North American telecommunications company. I was marveling at the work of one of the html coders who said to me, “This is easy. You can do this.”

With a little help from FrontPage, in the early hours of September 6th, 1998, I uploaded the site to Simplyscripts.home.att.net. It wasn’t until a couple of years later that I finally got the domain Simplyscripts.com. You can see a late 2000 version of the site at archive.org - here. If you are curious about the origins of SimplyScripts, you can check out and interview Henrik Anttonen did about five years ago for currently hibernating Voice Over web magazine. Over the years the site has written up in places like The Guardian, AMC and Entertainment Weekly. But the best news I get is when I get an email from someone who has had their work options, sold or produced.

Thanks to everyone who has helped make the last ten years of running the site so much fun, entertaining and interesting. - Don
