This may not fit at all on Royal Road, but I'm currently helping develop a TV show and I'm trying to convince the team to post it online to gain a following. Any thoughts? Would anyone be interesting in reading something like that written in script form? Thanks! https://showbox.bio/ https://tutuapp.uno/

Nope.

I'm not the kind of person who would ever want to discourage someone, however, Royal Road isn't the best place for something like that. Everything on this site is narrative prose. For something like a TV show script, doing something interesting/creative on Youtube or something would be better. I don't know if you or anyone on your team has any film editing skills, but I think, making a short trailer, or a mini film would be better suited for what you're trying to do. Best of luck to you, though!

Ditto the duck

The audience for something like that isnt really here

I have two reasons for you to not do this.

One, there isn't an audience here for this sort of thing. I wouldn't bother putting it up. You will be wasting your time and effort that you would put in here, could use towards something else that would fit your project.

Two, with scripts, is that you are missing a big component, and that is the actors. A script is just half of the experience. Actors acting out the  script makes it a whole performance. I mean, a TV show is a visual experience, not just a written one.

Every time I have read a script, it feels like something is missing. I don't enjoy it. I really dislike it when writers who use the script format to make-up for their lack of skill.  It's never an enjoyable experience because you have talking head syndrome.

If people wanted to read scripts for fun, there's be scripts available in book stores and stuff like that. They're not fun to read. I'll go with 'no' I'm afraid. 

I agree with Sorcerers Pen. If you want to put it online ahead of time, I too suggest modifying it into a different medium. If you have a good enough story, you can get some good shit done with a few character models, a miniature world, and a good cameraman. 

 I apologize for my ignorance but I have really never read a full script in my life.  Maybe it would be cool, depending on the quality I assume.

Will also have to say no here. It'd be one thing if this was some kind of experimental piece, like the story itself was making a point by being expressed as a script, but if this is being written with the intent to get turned into a real show, you will not find an audience here (your intended purpose) and depending on what you want to do with the show later having the script online for free might end up backfiring on the production and distribution side.

If you want an audience for a show, make the show. 

yes, of course i would! whenever there’s a chapter with a whole bunch of dialogue in [untouchable], i just write it as a screenplay to make it easier. screenplays are fun.

I mean maybe. You'd probably have to trick the general audience on here that it's a book and not a script. I'm guessing a script like this would be written primarily in the third-person present tense? If so, then I'm pretty sure it'll be an outlier on the site.
