You can study plays without actually having to see them
performed.

Doesn't change the fact that they were written to be performed -
that the performance of the words as written is a key element of
the works.


True, true.  So, why doesn't someone post (a link to) a reading of a
script-style fanfic?  Of course, an MPEG or RealAudio file wouldn't be as
accessible as good old ASCII text (not everyone has audio capability), but
it would make a unique companion to a written script.

Heh.  It's hard to say that with a straight face.  Recording a script would
be a helluva lotta effort for a fic.

I hope I haven't started anything here.
