Hello,

I have been writing since middle-school (around a decade), and have never shared a project publicly, having only shared with family/friends and occasionally sending in for notes. I wanted to share my feature horror/comedy script CLANDESTINE that I have been working on for the past couple of years.

I love all genres of cinema and storytelling, but have a fondness for the surreal and unorthodox. This project is something I wrote after having difficulty attempting more conventional and palatable ideas. I feel it exemplifies my predilection for macabre and absurd stories, layered with thorny interpretations and details. Those who enjoy weirder/darker stories like such (or the comps listed above), will hopefully enjoy this. Thank you!

Once again, link is here...

P.S... If you are interested in reading, but are hesitant due to the high-page count, message me for a read4read! I'm interested in meeting new artists and reading new projects, especially those that have yet to be realized.

Hope this question isn't too open ended, but I've recently started an ARG and am looking for some advice on how/where to sprinkle clues. I ask because I am starting a written horror-fiction series called Menagerie Mall on the website Medium and I planned for the ARG aspects to enhance and add to the story.

Without giving to many details away, I started with reddit and creating other reddit accounts, but many of these posts or the accounts themselves get taken down for various reasons such as spam and promotion. Either mods are seeing that it is an ARG and removing the posts or just feel its a "shitpost" or irrelevant to the sub, but its hard to get my footing and get the ARG aspect started. (Obviously I don't want to post the clues and character accounts in this sub or on my personal account because it would be too obvious with no search/mystery)

Just wanted to ask if there were good alternatives/ideas to reddit?

Obviously I have ideas of a website or YouTube channel when the ARG is further down the road but for now just looking to get the base clues on natural social media sites and what not.

Also, if you do use reddit, how do you usually go about it?

What life could be sustained on a hypothetical planet/body consisting of only or mostly a surface of liquid ammonia rather than water?

Would it hypothetically be possible for distant alien civilizations to contact each other more efficiently, or make greater astronomical observations in general, using low powered radio signals? Essentially communicating with lesser equipment/power by finding/sending radio signals in a 'needle in a hay stack' angle? Also, would this likely involve some sort of algorithm/LLM to pick out these hypothetical low power communications?
