I have come across this credit, and wondered if "Original Story" would get any credit per our rules.

Yes, I believe "Original Material By" would be the correct credit.

I'd go with "story by" unless the screenplay is adapted from another work (which would usually be "based on a story by").

It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Yep.

Indeed.

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

This is why I stay away from profiling credits!  Although I do it on titles that are blank.

But what if there was another writing credit, I'd assume it would be then "Original Material By" or would it still be "Story by"?  Is the "Original" just throwing me off?

It would still be 'Story by'.  The only time it would not be, is if the credit were "Based on an Original Story by."
