Hey friends :)

I’m Forest Firefly, and I've asked a few questions regarding scripts/writing over the past week. I've also been fortunate enough to have had a good number of fills during my time here.

However, a few questions have been buzzing in the back of my mind regarding what determines whether or not a script is going to be filled---besides the content of the script itself.

So here are my questions for script-fillers and writers. All input helps :)

______________________

• Performers, if you see a script you like, but it’s already been filled by a bunch of other performers, does this deter you from filling it?
• Does the age of a script matter? Do performers prefer to fill the new, fresh scripts over ones that were posted a while ago? Or the other way around?
• Does a script writer’s “reputation” matter? Are performers more likely to fill a script if it’s written by a prolific, ‘big-name’ writer?
• Performers, aside from the content of the script itself, are there any other factors that would either encourage or discourage you to fill a script?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on these questions! Again, any input helps.
