* ''[http://archives.eyrie.org/anime/Ranma/Narrabundah/ Narrabundah 1/2]'', Urac Sigma's mid-1990s re-creation/reimagining of ''[[Ranma ½]]'', is a prime example of script format taking a good fic idea and making it hard to read and enjoy. In general, the ''Ranma'' fanfic community had completely abandoned script format by the late 1990s.
** On the other hand, a well-done script-format fic was, for a short time in the mid-late 1990s, successfully passed off as a pirated copy of the shooting script for an upcoming ''Ranma'' theatrical feature. This hoax was aided by the primitive state of native-Japanese anime coverage on the Web at the time, but was still unmasked rather quickly.
** One script-format Ranma work needs to be mentioned: John Biles' ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20140902112212/http://www.thekeep.org/~wombat/Stories/RightPlace/RightPlace.txt Putting Your Heart In The Right Place]''. Nice [[WAFF]]ic; established some fanon characterizations, most notably Nodoka's. Until 1996, ''Right Place'' was considered ''the'' definitive Ranma fanfic.
** Another script-format Ranma work needs to be mentioned: ''[https://archives.eyrie.org/anime/Ranma/ranma.xover.the-replacement-ranmas.gz The Replacement Ranmas]'' by Angus MacSpon, for the sheer absurdity of the premise and skill of its execution. One reason it works is that it actually ''is'' a script for the most part, albeit one with... extra elaborations.
* ''[http://suburbansenshi.com Suburban Senshi]'', a comedy [[Mega Crossover]] based mainly on ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' and bringing in everything from ''[[Doctor Who]]'' to ''[[Sakura Taisen]]'', is an odd case. The regular episodes are written in prose, but it also has a few episodes marketed as "[[The Movie]]", written as Script Fic, and plenty of segments of the characters on IRC.

* An odd example is ''[[Super Smash Stadium]]'' (based on ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'') which actually started out in prose but turned into a Script Fic soon after because of it focused on the fights as though it were a promotion complete with commentary. With its adaptation of ''Subspace Emissary'', it has reverted back to prose.
* And an odd variation in ''[
* ''[http://www.mediaminer.org/fanfic/view_st.php/22407 Hey, Ocarina!]'' Being a "musical", it uses the script format to great effect where lyrics is concerned.
