Does /lit/ do screenplays?
It's not exactly literature per se, but its a great medium for storytelling and arguably more immersive simply because it involves more sensory faculties in the process. A book only has one, the Mind essentially creates the story laid out by text. Film is much more digestible, to be played as white noise in a busy barbershop.

There used to be a guy on the /lit/ IRC in 2014 called CIA_script_writer who was working on a screenplay he took very seriously that was just reworking the Bane memes. He was very sure it was going to get made.
I found a copy on my HD if you want to take a look

i wrote a screenplay. im shopping it now. almost all feedback is:
>writing is really good, do you have anything else?
>i just cant relate to the main character. WHY do we care about his story?
people in the movies are complete plebs, which is why movies have been garbage for along time now.

If you write a screenplay all the good bits will get changed by execs and directors.
Television is the writers medium

Books are the writers medium.
Writing scripts is for employees.
