# Fountain+

> Fountain+ is a free set of tools for people who write screenplays and comic scripts.

Fountain+, Fountain Plus, and fountain.plus all mean the same thing. It helps writers
write, format, and convert their scripts, with tools that work right inside Google Docs
and tools that turn a script from one file type into another.

The website also has a blog of writing guides, standalone posts about the craft of
writing, and a worldbuilding story section called Enemy of the State.

## Core Concept

Fountain Plus focuses on how to format a screenplay in a browser, Google Docs or a standalone editor created by Pistol Taeja the creator of Enemy Of the State, A BOY NAMED DOROTHY and Mangaplay Studio.

Mangaplay Studio is the one of its kind comic script and mangaplay editor allowing creators to write and draw their manga, comic or webtoon in the browser, Google Docs or ChromeOS with a suite of tools and mobile application.

The Mangaplay format is the spiritual successor of superscript.
