I a great admirer of your two -perspective posts.The fictional second part could very well be what the true person would have felt. But still she dint want to forgive the past sin...

Comment from Judy Lawless
I like this simple script, Liz. You've managed to tell a complete story of fiction, beginning with a bit of truth. Reading it made me wonder about a couple old boyfriends I had that long ago, wondering what it would be like to connect again. Probably just what happened to Chuck! lol Great writing.

Comment from Mary Vigasin
It a very fascinating and interesting read. In writing Marilyn's fiction response, you captured the real Marilyn's feelings in not responding to Chuck.
While it may seem to be water under the bridge some 50-plus years later, hurt turn to resentment in spite of her saying she had not let it fester, that is, "until just now."
I enjoyed reading.
Best wishes
Mary

While this is interesting. I am afraid it is not a script; not even a monologue. It is a two part 1st person of view prose. Yes, as you say, it has no direction scenery detail. It is also written in prose format, right down to words and phrases in " " quote marks and entire sentences in ( ) parenthesis. No way to show those in a script speaking form.
I would suggest simply changing the designation to what it actually is, and mostly seems to be. General fiction prose.

Thanks for the excellent suggestions! Points taken. Unfortunately, I am a lapsed member and thus not permitted to edit old posts, not even to change the category--just to repromote as is. My dual POV "scripts" are intended for informal use in acting workshops. The classification came about in a bass-ackwards way. I wrote them before joining fanstory, and it was only upon noting there was a script category that it occurred to me to conceptualize them as such. As you note, I am not versed in the formatting requirements.

I'm awaiting set up assist from Jess on a new non-hacked laptop...
So shamelessly I'm spending my break at the battered women's shelter accessing FS on their computer.
Lucky for me! I'm a HUGE fan of your two person scripts...
It never ceases to amaze me how two people can have such diverse recollections...
We all look through our magic Romper Room mirror!
Hysterical!

Nice monologues here Liz, where the same facts are subjected to totally different perspectives or opinions. I find it fascinating how different people relate to the same events - it will be a prominent thred in the current novel. Kate xx

Comment from Jay Squires
One of the best double monologues I've read by you, Liz. The first half had me confused, I must admit. I thought it was a girl-on-girl, woman-on-woman reunion, since Chuck and he were both oddly not mentioned in the first part. It only got cleared up in the second part, but it was worth the wait. A fun, entertaining read, Liz!

Yep, picked Chuck straight away. I'm sure he has learned never to stand someone up, and yes, I think Marilyn did the right thing to give him the flick this time. No point in starting anything really - and of course by now he has YOU in his life. Had to laugh about her being a half-hour drive away. Here in Australia, this would be counted as living pretty close by!Well written.
