• 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…

Ah, what lengths will we go to for research purposes? In my current WIP, one of my characters is on Tinder. Having been married for 30 years, I'm not exactly familiar with Tinder, but just couldn't bring myself to set up an account for research purposes (never mind what the husband would think, the whole idea makes me shudder).
