• 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.

Here we are again, another month older and wiser, gentle Litopians...

For April, we are going to return to a Progressive Story... rules are a little different from normal, so please familiarise yourself with them below before posting :)

The Flash Club Contest can be found HERE

RULES:

-no more than 25 words (or less) per entry.

-Only one entry at a time (For those rascals who may try to bend The Rules by using many words/many entries one after the other: I’ll be patrolling with my wooden spoon).

-Your entry must advance the story in a meaningful way.

-Twists have to make sense.

-Please make your entry anonymous by clicking the anonymous button, but if you forget, don't worry, that's okay too. (Note: Guardians can see who posts.)

VOTING:

There will be NO VOTING until the final week of April: the story will end on the 22nd and voting will start on the 23rd.

-The entry with the most votes will be the winner of an extraordinary hand-crafted (!!) virtual trophy. And, more importantly: some of our very prized, and internationally-renowned, virtual Litopi-cake.



The competition is open to all members. Feel free to enter more than once (but please read Rule No. 2 above).

-The main rule here: we ask you not to critique.
