Theater Page
The page for movie and tv scripts, pilot episodes, short
vignette scripts, short stories, and other stuff we'd like to see on TV.

Much of what you see here is mine, but contributions from others are
welcome and will, I hope, soon outnumber my stuff.
All material here is copyrighted by the respective authors unless explicitely
noted otherwise. All of my own material is copyrighted by me. However,
I freely grant the right to make individual copies for personal, non-commercial
use. Furthermore, anyone wishing to actually produce a film based on one
of my scripts or stories, and competent to do so, may expect to find me
cooperative and reasonable. Basically, if you are making money with my
work then I expect to be reimbursed fairly. However, I am amenable to agreements
calling for royalties only. I am also open to arrangements whereby if you
make nothing then I make nothing. If it is appropriate (which it usually
will not be) I may beg for a part but all decisions rest with the producer.

Illustrations: Art work, photos, video, and sound files may be submitted
for display along with textual material provided they relate appropriately
to the text. Other illustrations may be submitted for use as decorations
around these pages. If items are too large for submission as an email attachment,
write and I will contact you by return email with instructions for submission.
Because of their large size, sound and video files may be displayed on
a rotating basis at some point in the future. Alternatively, I may seek
to locate an archive elsewhere and post links on the radio and video pages.
Authors who have submitted at least one item to these pages may also
submit links to their similar or related work published elsewhere.
Contributions in all formats and inquiries should be emailed to:
FRED588@GO.COM
When submitting a story, script, or other item, be sure to include
a copyright notice. You can use a pseudonym, as I do. Use your email address
if you want to receive feedback from readers. If you don't want feedback
you can say something like Copyright 2000 by (name withheld but known to
page owner) and give me your email address confidentially. That way, if
your brilliant, million dollar script attracts the attention of a producer
(unlikely, I know) I will be able to put the two of you together.
If, at any time, you want your material taken down, just let me know
and it will be done.
If you see anything here that is your work but bearing another name,
let me know. I will take it done right away, or change the name (as you
prefer). I will also ban the person submitting the plagiarized work from
further submissions and take down ALL their other work..
DO NOT submit stories that are pornographic (partial nudity is usually
okay but there has to be a reason for it other than titilation. DO NOT
submit stories or any materials that portrey under-age children in situations
that could be considered abusive. A story of a child encountering a dangerous
situation is okay but one involving sex or nudity is NOT. Finally, DO NOT
submit anything that is not your own work. That is called PLAGIARISM and
will get you a grade of F. I will not edit anything in your material. However,
I will review it prior to posting. If I find serious errors (spelling,
for example) I may recommend changes before posting, but it will be up
to you to make those changes.
