Lost episodes aren't accepted on this wiki without a spin appeal, however there are other wikis that do accept them which I'll be happy to name if you want.

It is generally accepted wisdom that it takes an experienced writer to pull off a lost episode story, but don't let that stop you if you really want to. Even if it isn't good, even if you never publish it, if that's where you want to start then I say go for it.

Alternatively, you can askew the normal lost episode format and instead of writing about an existing TV show, you can write a creepypasta based on one you made up. A lot of successful television-based pastas are based on fictional shows. In addition, such stories typically don't require a spin appeal, though if your story follows the "lost episode" formula too closely it may still require an appeal.
