• 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.

April Challenge: Write One Perfect Sentence starting with "The split second before I hit . . . "

Thank you for your entries! Now it is time to vote!

How to vote: Click on the ^ arrow to the right of the entry you wish to vote for. (Don't click twice or you delete your vote). You can vote for as many entries as you wish to except your own.


The number under the ^ shows how many votes that entry has received. If you want to see which are leading, go to the first entry after the writing prompt and click "sort by vote".
Don't worry if the leaders are not your choice. Vote with your head: Is this a great interpretation of the theme? And vote with your heart: Does this resonate with my emotions?

Are there prizes? - This is what @AgentPete says: "As far as prizes are concerned… I've ruled out a Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir... too hard to obtain... so we'll award you some LitCoins instead!"

Voting closes midnight Monday 5th May BST (British Summer Time)

Good luck to you all!
