New Fanfic thoughts...

Just a couple of quick things (and backgound) to toss out for general consumption.
Me: college grad with a degree in English. (i.e. you will get neither the simple "shoot em ups", Jedi are c00l, ST/SW blows chunks, etc... that seems so prevelent over the net in general. Neither will I write soft (Oh Chakotay your ears are so... BIG) porn. Having said that...
Idea: To write something with either ST/SW/both in it. as I'm relatively new to the boards, I have a couple of questions re: what people like/want.
1) Is a screenplay format ever done? If not, would people be interested in reading that, or would you reather just straight prose (lol.. or Vogon poetry?)
2) Would you all prefer a finished product to read in one sitting, or do you want it serialized?
Yes, I'm really painfully aware that I could spend the next week and a half running up and down every board looking at every post and trying to get my won consensus... but which would you rather have, a writer writing or a writer thumbing though spam for useful tidbits?
Oh, and if this sounds a tad harsh, I apologize. I really am a softy at heart. I'm also running late (have to me my family) and wanted to get this out so I could start typing ASAP
(PS: Please don't expect me to be able to quote turbolaser yield outputs to the individual joule in my fiction. I have no problem "bending" space and time slightly to remain true to the feel of the universe. )
