"I prefere a regular "novel/book" format as apposed to a script. Whenever I read a script format I feel like it gets jumbled b/c it constatnly break's paragraphs and what not for descriptions and then dialog. Where as with a "novel/book" format you can intermingle the two and it flows more naturally for reading purposes. "

"Kaotic, eon8, glad that you liked it. Didn't know that you even read it.

You've all made good points, perhaps I'll go with novel format this time around."

"I'll agree that in fanfics, it's kind of a waste to sit and describe that a room looks like, or something, but script format still offers ZERO insight into the character's thoughts. With a dramatic TV show, 80% of the message is conveyed through the actors' body language and facial expressions. You get none of that in written format, therefore you need to put it into words.

What passage better describes a scene?

[ghost Kyle appears before Sarah in hospital room]
Sarah [confused]: Kyle?
Kyle [reaches out to her]: Come with me if you want to live.

-or-

As she lay on her hospital bed, listening to the rhythmic beeping and humming of life support machines, Sarah rolled her head to toward the door to her room and saw an image that forced her to believe that she'd been drugged. "Kyle?" she asked, knowing that it was likely in her head, and she was talking to nothing more than the wall.

The figure's hand reach out to her, just as she remembered it happening more than a decade ago. The hand of John's father. The hand of her former lover. She'd had this dream before, and every time she would wake up with tears in her eyes. Was this a dream though? It seemed to much more real than past times, so much more lucid. Then it... he... spoke to her. "Come with me if you want to live."

IMO, script format is just lazy writing."
