• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

Blue Rocket is all yours.
I didn't know about the restrictions for attachments in replies. Does that mean you can't post critique docs then??? Makes no sense. @AgentPete can you clarify?
