Where do you find scripts for shows to use as inspiration for Original Flavor?

In general, I've been thinking of trying to write in Original Flavour as a Self-Imposed Challenge but where do you find scripts as an example (I am intending to try Script Fic too)?

I have done some light Google-ing on TV show scripts, but am not sure where to start, and some sites are paywalled.

Anyone here written Original Flavour fan fic, and got advice on how to do so?

I think you're very mistaken in the assumption that people use scripts in trying to create Original Flavour fics. Most people by my experience go by memory and re-watching the original source.

I second this.

That being said, if you generally just want to learn how to write scripts, there's lots of resources for that. Just know that most Script Fic, from my experience, is written by people who don't actually know what a real film or TV script looks like, so you may be in for a shock. :V

Furthermore, if you're dead-set on finding transcripts (i.e. text-based recordings of something made by viewers watching it, as opposed to the original script, which I assume are typically kept under lock and key), I know at least some fan wikis have them. I'd imagine it's much more likely for bigger fandoms. I used one for a Gravity Falls story, but only because part of it involved an actual scene from canon and I wanted to get the dialogue right. Outside of very specific situations like that, I don't see them being all that useful - for Original Flavour, you're much better off just rewatching/rereading the original source to get the feeling down, as has been recommended.
