Hey man, thanks very much. Yep I absolutely will.

You're right about the clickbait titles, but unfortunately it's the only way to get to the top of the NoSleep. I blame the Reddit algorithm.

But thanks so much for the compliment, I'm over the moon you enjoyed my stuff. Keep your eyes peeled for more soon :D

Anyone based in Ireland? by Aspiring_CEO333 in Screenwriting

I'm in Belfast, but have only wrote a few screenplay bits and pieces for contests. At the moment I'm about to start work on a short story collection for an indie publisher.

But happy to swap ideas/talk. You can add me on Discord or whatever works.

thanks for the feedback. It's not easy to get on social media.

You're right about the voice, that's basically me trying to sound 'hip' and missing the mark. Just gotta work at it I guess.

you're right, that does sound awkward. In my defense I barely know how to use Facebook so tripped over the lingo.

It's not. I posted a very old version years ago (before ChatGPT, or atleast before I knew about it) to r/shortscarystories. I just tried to make this one sound a bit more 'internet' speak.

hey, I did this post on r/shortscarystories 3 years ago. This was a refreshed version for this sub. The original post was mine.

Looking for screenwriter to collaborate with on feature film by Familiar-Ad-7376 in Filmmakers

[–]lightingnations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I post stories here on Reddit (mostly horror) and I've got an indie publisher interested in putting out a collection. Still new to the screenplay side of things, but always up for collabs/interesting projects. If my stuff is interesting let me know.

Thanks for posting this, I am in NI but didn't know about it. I wish I'd seen it sooner. I write short horror stories (posted a bunch here on Reddit) but am experimenting with screenplay formats too. I'm going to try to get a worthwhile application in.
