• 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…

    • Don't give offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

Some of you might remember that when the Flash Fiction competition restarted with the prompt 'Glass Half Empty', I was reluctant to post my entry, as I thought it might be publishable and I didn't want to lose the opportunity for publishing in one of the mags that doesn't take previously published work. Well, 'Glass Half Empty' just got accepted by Literary Orphans, which I'm very happy about. That's the second time the Litopia Flash competition has provided me with a quality magazine acceptance, so thank you very much for the inspiration!

Also, this is a bit of a milestone, since I am now in double figures - it's my tenth story to be accepted since I started this weird writing lark. I promised myself I'd make a writer's website if I ever got to 10, so I suppose I'd better get on with it...

Very well done. Congratulations. :)
 
A great example of why all of us Litopians should take part in the Flash prompts.;)
