Finally: a strong female character who would rather be in jail, sentenced to death than let anyone see her messed up face! The Nic Cages and John Travoltas of the world shouldn't be the only ones getting to do face-surgery-identity-switch-related-roles.
When offered the chance to switch places, Andie Drew, a horribly disfigured inmate on death row, has a decision to make - accept the death she wants by lethal injection or attempt to assume the identity and live the life of her renowned and wealthy plastic surgeon.
Genre: Suspense/Thriller
CHROMOSOME 21 tells the story of Andie Drew who is horrifically deformed in an accident after fleeing the scene of a murder. When she's framed and sentenced to death for the murder, she doesn't care, all she wants is a place to hide, until a plastic surgeon with a 'rehabilitative program' promises to repair her destroyed face in exchange for her death.

Draculette
If "lesbian vampire" isn't enough to hook you, please scroll to the end for a list of 5 other reasons.
Hello:
What happens when a normal young woman who's just found the perfect man and her first taste of happiness wakes to find that she's been turned into a lesbian vampire?
That idea is what inspired me to write DRACULETTE, an original horror comedy screenplay. Think SCREAM meets THE HUNGER. It's essentially a somewhat humorous take on those old Hammer lesbian vampire films; I take the audience's expectations about what a female vampire should be and turn them on their head.
Logline: Lucy Collins has just found the man of her dreams, but a broken-hearted female vampire named Lillian decides that Lucy will be her new vampire girlfriend, whether she agrees or not.
Genre: Horror Comedy
Synopsis: Life is not treating Lucy Collins kindly. She has few friends, a pill habit, no luck with men, a fashion sense more suited to a bad 80's teen movie, and her dream of becoming a filmmaker just isn't happening. Then she meets Paul Murray at film school, and her life turns around. She finds happiness. Briefly. Lucy has a fight with Paul, and talks jokingly about "giving up men" to a stranger she meets at the park. Unfortunately for Lucy, that stranger is a female vampire named Lillian who's just had her heart broken. Before Lucy can react, Lillian's fangs are buried in her neck. She passes out as a human, and wakes as a vampire.
Lillian has decided that Lucy will be her new vampire girlfriend. Lucy wants nothing to do with Lillian, but when she starts killing her friends, with her blood-lust spinning out of control, she has no choice but to turn to Lillian for help. "But I'm not a lesbian," Lucy says. "You're a female vampire. OF COURSE you're a lesbian. Haven't you ever seen a vampire movie?" Lillian replies.
Lillian's ex, Summer, begins dating an actress named Zooey, famous only for showing her fake breasts in terrible B-movies like JANE STORM, NINJA POLICE. Zooey turns out to be a very bad vampire. When she murders a famous director (Tarantino?) during a carnage-filled rampage at a lavish Hollywood party, which threatens to expose the existence of vampires to the world, Summer knows she has to destroy Zooey. She also wants her old girlfriend, Lillian, back.
As Zooey murders the guests at the Hollywood party, Lucy seizes the opportunity to get Lillian and Summer together again, by calling Lillian to the scene. Lillian arrives just in time to save Summer, by putting a stake through Zooey's big fake breasts, and the former lovers reunite. Lucy finds a bleeding, dying Paul in the pile of bodies. Lucy saves him by feeding him her blood and turning him into a vampire, and they are able to "live" happily forever after.
Here's what you should know about the screenplay, which I would love to send your way:
1) It's scary.
2) It's funny.
3) It features 4 strong female roles.
4) It's 98 pages long.
5) It's polished, sparkling, and ready to go.

Script Quarry Special: fairy tales
How lucky are we?!?! To unearth TWO fairy tales in the Script Quarry. As usual, you will finish reading these and curse "Oh hell! It's too late! Someone's already thought of it!"
Bye Cuspid! The Adventures of a Male Tooth Fairy
Motu Mikey here at the Internet café in Vava'u, Tonga where I recover from my first - and decidedly last - visit to a dentist in this island Kingdom. Ruing the absence of Novocain, I am determined to regain my sense of humor and, therefore, have concluded that this is a dandy time to introduce you to my family/comedy/fantasy screenplay, "Bye Cuspid! The Adventures of a Male Tooth Fairy".
An only child, Cuspid grew up in the Tooth Castle, quite content with his job as a janitor; brushing and polishing the millions of tiny teeth that cover the walls. Then one day his mother, the Tooth Fairy, decides it's time for her to retire. Tradition dictates that she pass on her magic wand only to family, so the beautiful Tippy - who happens to be smitten with Cuspid - is enlisted to join a plot to transform the naïve Cuspid into a family man. Cuspid reluctantly dons his tights and tutu, but complications soon arise that jeopardize an orphaned brother and sister... and everyone in the Tooth Castle. Cuspid must convince Tippy to join him in the outside world and, with help from the Boogie Man and the Sand Man they launch "Operation Orphans" to save the children and secure the purpose and future of the residents of the Tooth Castle.
Please let me know if I may email a .pdf of the 104-page script.
Kind regards,

The Hatchet Fairy
A Fairy Tale Willing to Bleed its Way to the Ball
Bitty had always been a strange sister, so when Lore met Bitty's fairy godmother for the upcoming ball, she didn't think much of it. Sure, the fairy godmother was mean and drank scotch, but then again, Bitty was a personal injury lawyer, so allowances had to be made about her mental stability.
After refusing to go the ball and disgust the prince with her appearance, Lore wakes to find her roommate dead and Bitty still thirsty for blood. With the first strike of midnight, Bitty's gone and Lore's bleeding. Kill or be killed, the ghosts finally convince her. Armed with only her shoes, Lore has to survive the ball, ignore the prince, and kill her sister to stay alive.
Nicer than the ghosts in The Sixth Sense, more honest than Cinderella, and bloody as Scream's little sister, The Hatchet Fairy is a fairy tale willing to bleed its way to the ball.
I would love the chance to send you a copy of The Hatchet Fairy.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Red Moon Rising
Glad to know what this fellow is thinking about whilst protecting our border.(posted by Alissa)
"Illegal border crossers must confront face a new challange on their quest for the American Dream. An ancient predator stalks the desert night, and they hunger...for blood."
Genre: Thriller/Horror
Border Patrol Agent Tony Reed investigates the brutal murders of three of his fellow agents, apparent victims of drug cartel hit men. He soon discovers that Vampires stalk the desert night, and they feed upon the illegal immigrants crossing the U.S. / Mexico border. Tony along with tribal members of the Tohono O'odham and Yaqui Nations hunt the coven of vampires which hides atop the Native American sacred mountain known as Otam Kawi, Skeleton Mountain.
The script was inspired from my current duty assignment with Border Patrol as a contracted Transportation Officer in Tucson, AZ.

Which Christ?
Honestly I am posting this, having not read past the first sentence. And can be counted on to continue to post, blindly, anything that the author calls "Christian Fiction", contains amazing punning as "criss-cross" and involves wild spelling errors. That, to me, indicates passion in writing this query.(posted by Alissa)
"The lives of two men, J.C. and his cousin Jesus, criss-cross. One man, Jesus is determined to reap havoc on the "powers to be" for the beheading murder of his other cousin John the baptist. The other man J.C. is destined to die for the sins of all mankind, but not if his mother Mary has anything to say about it!"
Genre: Christian Fiction
Which Christ? is the trial of a man whose witness testimony against him paints a picture of one family's reluvtant, deliberate involvement, participation in events that lead up to a verdict that marks the beginnging, ending of the world as we know, perceive it.
The story originated during my stint as a Jehovah's Witness. After reading the story about the life of Jesus over and over countless times, I concluded that the writers of the four gospels were either writing about two different men or the son of God was mostly human and suffered from multiple personality disorder.
