If you're banging out specs on your own I don't think you really need to paying more than $50 any time soon. Sure, if you have a job on a sitcom or something when you're writing with a team I can see why you all need the same software and Final Draft is probably what everyone else is using. ![]() I frequently use Write Room for writing fiction, and I would say that Fade In is its screenwriting counterpart in terms of ease-of-use, design, and functionality. So for your $50 you could download it onto your windows based desktop, your mac laptop, play with your file on your android phone (I've never used the mobile stuff so I can't vouch for it) and still install your software on that old laptop you're running linux on. If you want to get much more complicated, or have other production needs, then Final Draft, Celtx, or Movie Magic are probably for you. ![]() Your license covers installation on multiple devices and different operating systems (including linux). That said, one of the templates you can use is set up to look like the default settings of Final Draft, so who's going to know (or care) what you wrote your script with? I realize Celtx would be cheaper still but I like the "What you see is what you get" layout of fade in and the fact that you don't need to be online for any of the features to work. ![]() The only thing Final Draft has over it, is that Final Draft is seen as the industry standard. It works great and can open Final Draft files.
