Spec Rick and Morty TV script lightly spoofing The Social Network (2010) among other things.

If you're new to reading/writing screenplays, this is a decent starting place.
This script is written in the Fountain format. VSCode has an excellent extension that makes it easy to write and compile .fountain
files to .pdf
.
If you'd rather not use VSCode, most major screenwriting software supports importing and exporting into the .fountain
format.
If you're new to Git and Github, I'd recommend downloading VSCode and using the Source control tools built into the editor. You'll also need a Github account.
Using these tools, you can write scenes, new dialogue, etc. and create a pull request (a request to have your proposed changes incorporated into the original document). If I accept your proposal, you'll automatically be tracked as a co-author.
You can also simply comment on the script by clicking on a line in the .fountain
file and creating an issue.
If any of this does not make sense, feel free to DM me.
- I'm addicted to vim shortcuts which basically give you text editing superpowers.
- I like using git/github for source control so I can comfortably delete and add stuff and still revert back to it later (without making a million separate versions of my scripts)
- Fountain forces you to focus on story first, and formatting later.
- I'm a huge hipster.
