comment Overuse of bullet points
• I'm sure your collaborator does this so it is easier to read. - It highlights the important sentences. - They are all important sentences. • I can see why you feel this practice has the opposite effect. - It's hard for me to write it. - I keep getting confused which bullet to use.

comment What is the correct word/term that needs to be before the names of the maker of the project?
We discussed it over on Writers, and agreed to migrate it, although they will need some more information before they can give you good answers.

@Lauren You could just read my story about it after I'm done writing it. ;-)

Since this is a style question, I think it is more appropriate on Writers.SE.

comment Do script readers start at the beginning?
I don't see how this says anything that my answer didn't. This one just uses more words to say the same thing.

comment Is it true that men (in general) can't write female first-person?
@SF. You're joking, right? What about the Rama series by Clarke, or the Gap sequence by Donaldson? Both have strong female protagonists who could theoretically have been male instead. I think your assertion is baseless.
