That's very curious.  As an fan of anime and manga, rather than a fan 
of novels, I tend to think in very visual terms.  Thus, writing prose 
is much more difficult for me than writing a script, even though I've 
done both.

I deal with deep emotional development in my characters. I want them to be 
real. i want the reader to reach out and touch my characters.

Then chew on this.  Wouldn't you say that there is anime with real 
characters and deep emotional development?  And yet, it's done from a 
screenplay.  Of course, getting the goods from a script takes a 
little more work, because, in real life, the director and actors help 
to bring the story to life.  You have to use the "director" and 
"actors" of your imagination well as a reader to get the full impact 
from a script.

If you have read any of my fanfic's you'll realize that I like OOC a lot.

The true measure of a talented writer is his ability to get a 
character to do something unexpected while remaining *in character*, 
but that's another thread...

	Personally I consider script limited in its character 
development capability. It is hard to develop characters with digging 
into their thoughts and their reactions to a situation.

It is simply more of a challenge.  In a sense, prose is often the 
easy way out.  You used the term "rationalization" in a bit I edited 
out.  It's a good term, because what you are really doing is 
attempting to convince the reader that what happened made sense.  
There's nothing wrong with this, but it emphasizes the challenge in 
doing the same thing in script format, where everything must happen 
"on the screen".

If I may toot my own horn, I got high marks for character development 
in a Dirty Pair story I wrote way back when, "The Ballad of Lord 
Robin", a story written entirely in script format.

	But any amateur can throw a good story in script format. Just 
like any begineer can make a good story in prose.

You couldn't be more wrong.  Anyone can write a story.  A good story 
is something else entirely.
