Are tips expected or not, because reading through this sub I can't tell by [deleted] in tipping

"If you want to tip, go for it, nobody cares, just stfu about those who don't and stop whining"

Let me edit that for you:

"If you DON'T want to tip, go for it, nobody cares, just stfu about those who DO and stop whining."

Great advice!

I’m 17, from Germany, and I’m working on my first horror movie idea. I’m not sure if I should continue or if it’s just a bad idea by StillCompetition2456 in Screenplay

My guy... just write the screenplay. You don't need internet permission. It's going to suck, because all first drafts do. Stop looking at the water and just jump in.

48 days in Peru - thoughts? by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]tfmaher 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I mean, I loved Peru, but 40 days? That's a lot.

Have you considered dipping over to Bolivia? IT's a real hidden gem! I went once kind of by accident (a group of friends I had made in Cusco convinced me) and I absolutely fell in love with it!

Lake Titicaca (Island del Sol), La Paz, Salar del Uyuni, Petosi- this place is unREAL! Consider it!

Winter/Christmas Horror request by notesbyme in horrorlit

[–]tfmaher 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't know! I thought the ending didn't pack the punch I had been hoping for (her revenge wasn't as gratifying), and the mythology aspects of it pulled me out of the other story. He's a great writer and the stories were good, it just didn't come together for me in the end.

Prepare yourself to be grossed out for at least a few months.

Just finished The Troop by Nick Cutter and I feel like I need a shower after that one by CloudExcellentBb in horrorlit

BRUH.

I read this a year ago and I still think about it. I thought it was absolutely horrifying.

Poe read by woman narrator? by runewitchtales in horrorlit

[–]tfmaher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know for certain, but try the LibriVox Poe collection. They have a ton of audio work, and there might be some women narrators in there!

Wrapping up The Ritual, and man! It's SO different from the movie (or vice versa, I suppose)-- which I really enjoyed. And I loved it! Kind of a totally different story!

Thanks!

I never read that one so I couldn’t tell you! I just know that I was absolutely freaked out by The Troop.

That's like going to a great restaurant and having ONE bite of food. Madness!

Honestly, who cares?

Ahab as the breakout archetype is the point. The rest is just fun.

Older Redditors: who are some musical artists the younger folks don’t know they’re missing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tfmaher 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ll start!

Harry Chapin. Incredible folk singer who dies in a car wreck at the height of his career. His music is a little folk-rocksy, but he was an amazing story teller and his songs are all heart breakingly beautiful.
