• 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.

Hi all, delighted to make your acquiantance.

What can I tell you?
I'm UK-based and have been blessed with a sarcastic sense of humour. Used to be a scientist. Used to be a rock musician (in the most minor way imaginable). Used to be the youngest person in the world. Have lived in various countries including Iran. Also a champion procrastinator. These things are not related.

Writers I read: Anne Michaels, Andrew Miller, Donna Tartt, Ovid, Camus, Ondaatje, Eugenides, Gaiman, Philip Pullman, William Trevor, Susanna Clarke...

WIP: Absent from the Photograph, a novel about a couple's failure to communicate and how this isolates them. It's currently at 70k and, ahem, in need of work.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you.

Hi @T-M-H

Nice to see you and hope you enjoy what Litopia has to offer.

It’s extremely friendly round here so do feel free to get involved as soon as you’re ready.

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

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