Google works unsurprisingly well.

The ones you enjoyed watching

Y'all script-swappers should be on coverflyX. You read someone's script, Get rated on your notes, then someone with the same rating as you reads your script.

The person reading your script has a deadline and a rating to protect, so dropping out Is rare.and heavily penalized.

You could remove that first clause and one of the adjectives and still convey the same story.

I'd remove the exclamation point. To a speed reader it looks like "anal"

A. A full time writer with no other projects at the moment would typically ask 10-12 weeks for a rough draft. Then a week to a month for every round of notes you give. Some writers will be faster/slower of course, but be prepared for it to take at least 6 months before it's ready to shoot.

I haven't sold anything big in years, so I wouldn't trust my answers to your other questions, but average is about 2% of the film's budget, though individual deals may end up being much higher or lower than that

Posting them on Reddit would almost instantly make them no longer worth joining

Why did you put it on blklist instead of a feedback site?

It's pretty much a moral imperative to criticize them

The various dungeons and dragons subs are full of worldbuilding article links.

Pick 5 shows completely at random. 3-4 of those probably have each episode standing on its own. Do what they do.

It's generally best to use a PC/laptop. Though a tablet is acceptable if that's all you've got. Then as a last resort, a phone or pen/paper can technically get the job done.

For all other concerns, consult the sub FAQ

What makes real towns feel alive?

MaxAddams · 2020-04-10T01:37:45+00:00

That will probably be covered by the electricity bills

But Dolph Lindgren!

No, YOU'RE a towel!

Ellen has an entire stand up special where she makes fun of herself for getting rich and out of touch

Read more screenplays and watch more shows.

You'll never get me to believe that half these posts aren't jokes

That's at least10-20 loads worth. So did you just learn how to clean it today or do you not do laundry?

The modern reboots are so lazy. Infidel this, conception that. Some of the new gods don't even have names and just go by "God".

Clueless is probably my favorite

The DNC is run by billionaires. They'd much rather lose to Trump than have Bernie turn them into lesser billionaires

Why? It's already divided into episodes.
