:iconaugusttempest:
This-may-sound-really-stupid Question: By 'stage write', do I assume scripts written for stage performance, or can I write a script with TV in mind?

--
Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)
~Walt Whitman, "Song Of Myself"~
:icondeviantlit:
This is a very good question. You may writer either a stage script or one for television. We're keeping this very open to let the writer chose what direction he or she wants to go in!
