It's not the substance of the prose itself.  Prose conveys more
meaning than script does, simply because it allows for description,
depth and easier handling of a third person omniscience or stream of
consciousness.  But for some reason I feel that DnR is meant to be
script.  Maybe it's because there aren't enough good Ranma 1/2 scripts

Let's give the author/s a chance to explore into the prose format.  Maybe
they're moving the series towards a more dramatic, emotional theme, rather
than the dialogue driven story flow which perfect for a script format.
Overall, I welcome anyone moving from one format to another...it promotes
flexibility of their writing talents.

I sort of remember that a while ago, the DnR webpage announced a vote as
to whether DnR was to be continued in script format, or written in prose. 
However, I'd suggest that you e-mail one of the authors/site maintainers
to get confirmation on that piece of information, since my memory is not
exactly reputed to be the greatest (when I fill out forms, I sometimes
have to calculate my age.  Really). 

Anyway, if this is true, then I suppose that they recieved a majority of
votes for switching to prose.
