First and foremost, I dislike it because it's easier to create. A person doesn't have to put as much time into it, which makes such things far, far more prone to being rubbish. A good writer will avoid that anyway, of course, but still, there is a great deal more pleasure to be had in reading prose, because it actually draws you into the narrative - it's literal storytelling, rather than the cold, clipped attitude of a script. That's not a story - it's the very detailed outline of a story. It's much harder to enjoy.

That said, there's nothing inherently wrong with it, but I won't read anything - fic, misson, whatever - that's in script format.
