I'm a huge Chris Claremont fan, and also an indy comics creator. As a creator, it's extremely interesting to me to read comic scripts. I would LOVE to read some of Mr. Claremont's scripts or plot treatments (because I know that he writes old-school Marvel style quite often, with plots first).
His writing in it's raw form seems to be very hard to find. So far I've found a snippet of writing for Excalibur Special Edition #1 on Alan Davis' web site (VERY interesting!), a very short clip if script in "Creators on the X-men", the partial script included in X-treme X-men #8 and the script to X-men; Sword Of The Braddocks.
Does anyone else know where more Claremont writing might be found in it's raw form? As a fan, I would be thrilled to get a better look into his process.

No idea; but where did you get the script for Sword Of The Braddocks?

I'm also curious. Scripts for 'Nuff said project were basically mandatory, but I'm not aware of any source for the latter. And I'm an Exiles nutjob, so I tend to search for stuff related quite deeply.

The truth is, I'm friends with some of the creative team. They knew how much of a fan of CC I was, so they shared a copy with me. I would love to share more, but I don't want to get my friends in trouble.
A little trivia; Captain Britain was originally drawn in the old costume, and the art had to be corrected.

Well, as far as the art is concerned, it was fairly obvious that Sword of the Braddocks was unfinished. I mean, the last three pages looked more like a rorschach test than a comic book. It was actually funny to watch how some of the reviewers obiously read only the preview, which were probably the only complete pages.
Back on the topic track, I've recently learned some plot details about the cancelled third year of X-Men: Forever. Gambit and Cat should've become Storm's liasons in international trade. That could've been fun. But again, it's been confirmed that Forever's finished. If anything, Marvel will probably let Chris to write the next book on GeNext. But we have to see about that.
