My fanfic "The Eclectic City Saga" is still being written as more and more parts come up. Would it be better to write my stories in regular prose (Parts I-III) or in script style (Part IV)?

Thanks!

We can make a Pokémon Concert! All we need is Jigglypuff to sing...wait, that would be a bad idea because we would all fall asleep, Jigglypuff would get mad and then it would draw on all of our faces...yeah, let's not do that!

Your script style is good enough to not break the "no script fics unless good" rule. So I guess the answer is whatever way you feel the story should be told. Prose, script, in a strange dialect okay, maybe not that one. So long as the story is told in a way that feels right and sounds good to readers, you're fine.

Pretty much what the mod boss said. :P

One word of advice, though. Never, NEVER have your story in both forms. It'll make your story weird when the other people read it. Also, both script and prose formats are used for different storytelling purposes. I advise if you go for prose, change Part IV from prose to script. If you decide script, then edit Parts III to script format.
