My translation:

I'm particularly interested in the reference to the script and how it's
supposed to be almost original. Any reference to that script (and where it
comes from) I might have neglected is most welcome.

Edit: My translation wasn't very literal. Another approach would be something
like:

> The production of episode 25 began with "since it's mostly original content,
> it should first be written by the original author". And then the production
> team clutching their heads at the completed so-called script by Kinoko.

#25の制作は「ほぼオリジナルなので、まずは原作サイドで書くべし」と始まりました。そしてできあがったきのこによる脚本モドキを前に頭を抱える制作陣
According to Wikipedia:

> [Fate/stay night
> テレビアニメ第2作](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fate/stay_night#.E3.83.86.E3.83.AC.E3.83.93.E3.82.A2.E3.83.8B.E3.83.A1.E7.AC.AC2.E4.BD.9C)

> シリーズ構成、脚本はufotableスタッフが担当。奈須は全ての脚本会議に出席、ufotableが制作した脚本に奈須が加筆・修正を加える形で脚本制作監修を行った。  
>  (※奈須 = きのこ)

So きのこ was both the original author and scenario supervisor of this anime
series. With this background, the sentence in question is interpreted as
follows:

"I started creating Ep. 25, thinking I should firstly write as if I were just
an original author (i.e., only from the original author's perspective)."

It means he intentionally and temporarily forgot about his job as the scenario
supervisor of the anime. While he wrote the story of #25, he did not care much
about how it would look like as an anime episode. As a result, what he made
looked like a long ordinary novel, and it was not directly usable as the
screenplay. That's why other staff were at a loss and had to trim much of what
he wrote.

Note that this ～サイド does not mean a side story, but something like "～'s
standpoint/perspective". 原作 is an original author. ～モドキ is "pseudo ～",
"wannabe ～", "mock ～", "-oid", etc.
