A self-written, often cathartic script or scene created in response to dissatisfaction with an existing piece of media, whether it's a movie, TV show, game, etcetera. It typically involves the writer's beloved or favorite characters resolving plot holes, character arcs, or endings in a way that satisfies the writer's personal expectations or emotional needs. In other words, it's a form of short-form fan-fiction. Otherwise a form of "coping" through creative writing, hence the "COPE" in "Copescript."
