I have a DVD where the only writing credit is "Original story by". This would seem to indicate that it was written specifically for this film, in which case the logic thing would be to use "Writer" in Profiler. But the rules don't really support that. I guess OMB would be closest by the rules, but that seems misleading. "Story by" is also a possibility, but again doesn't seem right when there is no other writing credit.

Any views on this?

Strictly by the rules "Story By" is not "a possibility" but the only option that is allowed.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

"Story by", end of story.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

The correctd credit is "Story by", and, if you want, you can use the custom role "Original story by".
