User blog:Weavillain/ATTENTION FIC WRITERS: Why Do You Use Script Format?

Something I've noticed about this wikia is that nearly every single fanfic written here is in script format. So, what exactly is script format? Well, to put it simply,  it reads like a screenplay for a movie. Now, for anyone who knows anything about FF.net's policy, they'll know that script format is frowned upon and as a result, it seems that it's less prevalent in fanfiction communities across the Internet. I personally have issues with script format because it's mostly just dialogue with no descriptions of the setting, characters, or actions, which deprives the narrative of emotional investment.

So, I guess it's natural I want to know the mindset behind the people who constantly utilize it. Now, I'm not here to say that you're an awful writer if you use script format, I just want to know why you prefer that instead of a more traditional route that uses prose.
