• 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
    • Don't take 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.

My identity is not defined by country: born in Ireland to an English mother; now living in Scotland after many years in Dublin and London. Currently exploring how mixed identities fared during the Irish revolutionary period 1916-1923 in a trilogy of novels I am writing. Unpublished so far, apart from a couple of short stories in small-press print magazines (remember them?).
 
Welcome! Nice to have you here.

I also struggle with/am fascinated by identity. Born in Canada (with an Irish grandfather!), moved to the US, France, and now living in Switzerland. Looking forward to reading you!

Damn the Irish did get around. Most of my NA friends have Irish blood. Welcome. What it means is you have a lot of potential readers.
 
A very warm welcome to the colony @Tanglebrain

Nice to have you here. Hope you enjoy Litopia and do get involved as soon as you’re ready to.

This is a good place to check out (How-to guide) to see a lot of what goes on in the colony.

If anything is unclear do please contact me and I’ll be happy to assist if I can.
