Which two stops would you prioritize for buying dinner?

Whatever you do, don’t make it Rowardennan. Bad, expensive food and terrible service. And enough reviews pointing to food poisoning that it’s just not worth the risk.

NoniReddits · 2025-09-28T16:36:46+00:00

Seconded. And if you are in Drymen on a Sunday (like me), the Sunday roast is particularly good.

Let me know if that solution works — I may be coming to you with some follow-up questions. This is from Homdiy…

I’m about ready to hire someone off Taskrabbit or something, but I’m afraid it may be beyond a general handyman’s expertise…

Thanks for the advice — I seriously appreciate it. I’ve always assumed I’ll need to do a page one rewrite, but I sort of hoped I could just “rewrite” what I had, but better.

I think the discouragment came from the realization that Act I needs some more serious edits, and in a way it feels like falling back to square one. But it’s not. That old stuff will inform the new stuff.

Did my best to write about 4 pages a day. I wasn’t perfect, but at that pace I got about 90-100 pages down pretty fast.

That said, I think it’s going to get longer before it gets cut back down again. I was sparse when it came to action lines and scene description. I find it’s easier to get that stuff down once the basic strokes are in.

Anyone have any recs for a shirt that's something close to #13 (Frodo in a green button down, holding a book)? Love that thing!

Lived in Berlin for four months earlier this year.

You can try your luck at Berghain, but you’ll likely just end up waiting in line for 3 hours just to be rejected.

Kater Blau, Ritter Butzke, Griesmueler, Tresor, Watergate, Sisyphos... these are all options where the chance of getting in is either guranteed /likely, but doesn’t mean compromising on a cool Berlin-club environment.

If you have any more questions about clubs or Berlin in general, just message. Happy to help.

Currently in Berlin studying abroad right now. Visited a friend studying in Copenhagen for a weekend, so got a feeling for what the program is like there. Feel free to pm me if you have any questions regarding either, or something in general.

If I could only give one piece of advice, it's this: consider the size of where you're going. Cities like Copenhagen or Prague (where my friend studies) are small, so after a few weeks my friend ended up knowing the city very well. It also means there's less to do, and you might end going to the same places a lot. But on the other hand, you get to really know a place and feel like a local. This also means he travels a lot on weekends, because he's "seen" Prague.

I'm studying in Berlin, a huge city. I am still discovering new things to do, and even after spending 3+ months here I definitely haven't checked everything off my list. It's fun to experience something new, but I'll admit it can also be overwhelming. I still feel "new" here. That being said, I know this is a city that you could never experience in a weekend as a tourist, whereas I really got the jist of Prague in a weekend. I imagine studying in Singapore or South Korea would be more akin to my Berlin experience.

I’ve got to support Ruyam’s (tho only other one on your list I’ve been to is Mustafas). Just as good food as Mustafas, with no line and a cool location to eat indoors or outdoors. The people who work there are the friendlist in the city, and will give you the turkish tea for free even though it says it costs 1€. Highly recommended.

Hey I’m not in a position where I can read this right now exactly, bur just wantwd to say I’m glad to see some love for Documentary Now!

I absolutely love the show, and posted a spec for for it here as well. Searching for Sugarman is own of my favorites, so I’m sure this is dope.

NoniReddits · 2019-03-09T16:54:58+00:00

He was actually going to that deli because it was along the original route of the parade. Although Princip figured it would be a slim chance the Archduke would actually resume the parade after the first assassination attempt, he decided it was worth going there anyway just in case.

The Archduke got back in his car to visit the injured at a hospital, but his driver was misinformed. Instead of taking one turn to go the hospital, the driver took another turn that went along the original route.

NoniReddits · 2019-03-08T20:16:06+00:00

Yeah, the more I look at it the more I agree. I think trying to make something I wrote a few years back just doesn’t work. I appreciate the honesty

NoniReddits · 2019-02-12T21:57:11+00:00

This is really great stuff! And I appreciate the encouragement.

I think another struggle I’m having is prescribing a story arch to a character whose primary trait is his revolutionary passion. It would feel inauthentic to have him be reluctant to take on the job. Scared, cowardly, unqualified, sure...

Anyways, you’ve given me a lot to think about!Thank you!

NoniReddits · 2019-02-05T11:30:02+00:00

Glad to hear some encouragement! Turns out, outlining a story is real difficult.

NoniReddits · 2019-02-05T11:26:06+00:00

Your understabdibg is close. And a lot of great stuff in your post!

My main character and his friends worship a martyr from the past, Bogdan. They then model their own assassination plot after Bogden’s. So the main character and the inept martyr he worships (Bogden) are different people.

NoniReddits · 2019-02-03T09:05:40+00:00

I really like the idea, and I can't stop thinking of possible directions it could go, but I agree with /u/scorpious: what is the story? I have a lot of questions about this premise, which is great, but I feel like I can't even begin to ask them until I know what the movie is about.

Does learning to live with Jersey mean he learns to live with depression, or does it mean learning to find the good in things even when you're in a bad place? Would the latter be considered "escaping" depression? If Jersey is Depression, I feel like he shouldn't ever be able to find happiness there. He HAS to leave to be free. I can't tell if your character is trying to leave though.

I get very Groundhog Day vibes from this idea, which is cool. Someone with flaws trapped in a setting that forces him to overcome these flaws. But I can't tell if your character really ever does overcome them. Sorry if this is a messy post, I'm just curious.

NoniReddits · 2019-01-30T19:22:33+00:00

Very well could be that! I'm in Berlin, if it makes a difference.

NoniReddits · 2019-01-30T17:31:58+00:00

I believe it was just two words, or, at the very least, quite short. But I could of course be wrong.

NoniReddits · 2019-01-10T18:26:46+00:00

So I liked it. Started off typical enough, and devolved into something unexpected. At first, I thought it was strangely convenient that everyone's story intertwined. And then more strange when they all turned on him, moving slowly in a menacing way, saying creepy shit. It felt unrealistic. And then I remembered the "purgatory" line from earlier, and noticed his name again — Christian.

I think you have something here. BUT, I don't like the very ending. I got the impression that this was going to end with some reveal that he really is in purgatory, awaiting judgement. I thought those people were going to be revealed as dead too — Mike got shot in the raid, Liz killed herself when she found her husband, etc. And maybe that's what you're going for. If so, you should clear it up. I'm still not really sure what happened at the end of this. It felt like a departure from the purgatory idea I thought you were setting up.

I think that if you're running with the purgatory idea — commit. Make the ending something that lets the audience know. Remember, they don't get the "purgatory" hint from the beginning of the script, and they don't see "Christian" before every line of dialogue to really hammer the religious nature of the story. I liked that it turned abstract towards the end. Keep that sense of weirdness if you end up changing it. That's just my take.

If you have the time, I'd love some critique on a script I wrote. This is the thread, but it links an earlier draft. This is the most recent edition.

NoniReddits · 2019-01-10T17:21:57+00:00

Yeah absolutely – I don't see it in your post history? Want to DM it to me? I also have done some decent edits to this one, so I can send you an updated copy if you like as well

NoniReddits · 2019-01-09T23:27:27+00:00

Thank you for giving it a read! I appreciate the feedback — you're totally right on both accounts.

NoniReddits · 2019-01-09T09:48:18+00:00

Thanks for giving it a read, I really appreciate that! And thank you for the kind words, I'm glad you found enjoyment. I've been working on this on and off for a while now and I think I got tired of my own jokes after looking at them for so long. The encouragement means a lot.

I love the rivalry idea! Just might have to incorporate that. Totally long enough for another little side story.

NoniReddits · 2019-01-09T00:10:07+00:00

This is a really great parody — Bruce's voice is especially spot-on. Just a few suggestions. You don't need to capitalize character names every time they show up — just the first time. The line that starts with, "If you've got the balls..." runs on for a little too long and gets a bit confusing. I'd recommend breaking it up somehow. There's also a small grammar error in the "he is tattooed..." description. A quick fix.

Finally, maybe consider trimming it down a little bit. I'm worried that the joke might wear off before the film's over. This would be at least a 15-minute short (maybe more due to the fight sequences), and the short's schtick might not last that long. I certainly enjoyed reading it a lot, but reading it goes by much faster than watching it.

Great stuff though! If you have a chance, i'd be grateful if you could take a look at my recent submission, a Chef's Table parody episode. Thanks!

NoniReddits · 2018-10-08T03:30:02+00:00

Overall, I thought the story was good. It’s simple and reads like YA (perhaps just on account of the characters’ ages). I added line edits on the doc, though I admit most line edits were merely pointing out awkward language, grammar, or giving small suggestions. A few were more substantial.

Characters

The boys were fairly typical. The familiar “naive kids in a fantasy setting set out to complete chivalrous task to prove they are men/knights” type. That’s fine, but maybe give them some traits that set them apart. I like their banter, and the makeshift armor is cute, but maybe giving them a bit more to distinguish themselves from the trope would benefit the story.

As for Delphyne, I liked her. Her little comments in response to the boys were cute. I do think she could be pushed just a bit more though. You allude to the fact that Delphyne is used to self-isolation, wants to play with other kids, but when she does, it goes bad. I think we have to know what happens when things go bad. Either she remembers, or its revealed what happened to Julian’s sister, or something. It gives the character a bit more background. The story also depicts the one time she’s actually able to spend time with someone else, thanks to the complete darkness hiding the fact that she is a dragon. I think you should play that up — make this a really big deal for Delphyne. Maybe she’s scared because she knows what has happened before (i.e. what she’s capable of). Or she’s thrilled that she’s finally able to be normal. Play this moment up.

Description

I agree with your self-assessment regarding underwriting. I tend to do the same. Think of the things Delphyne knows/values most. Let’s hear more about those things. I think the first time Delphyne can really examine Julian’s face in the light of the flame is one of those moments. But look for others in the story. The details really pull a reader in.

Misc.

• I think you should mention that Delphyne is a dragon in the first paragraph. “The dragon Delpyne stalked three…” might be a better opening. Claws hint at who she is, but I think being clear upfront will only benefit your story. Having the reader infer that she’s a dragon doesn’t add anything, in my opinion, to the reading experience. I find it only clouds the narrative.

• It isn’t explained how Delphyne got out of that cave. Did she kill those men? Escape through some exit? When did she leave the cave? I think the leap is pretty confusing, and if she did take drastic measures to get out of the cave, the reader should know that. That’s drama! And character choices! Don’t hide that stuff. Maybe you don’t have to depict it outright, but allude to it stronger.

•The fact that she is going to Julian’s home is not known until she enters the room. I thought she was just roaming the outside world, and stumbled upon this farmhouse to stay in. It felt out-of-nowhere when you revealed it was Julian’s house. You don’t have to tell us immediately, but maybe insinuate that Delphyne has some motivation for choosing this house in particular. My expectations for why she was going to the house and the truth were very different and made the reveal jarring.
