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.


Actually, the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of script.

But the story itself was... better off in prose than in script, 
(authors' preference) so DnR 25 (and 26) will be in prose.

As to future episodes, script or prose, it mostly depends on the 
story. Dramatic stories tend to work better in prose, so if the 
author of that particular episode thinks it works that way, that's 
how it'll be.

In other words, odds are, if it's in prose, it's probably dramatic, 
and if it's in script... (Lord help us all when DnU 7 
pops up... it's all Mike Loader's fault.) then it's probably going to 
be comedic.
