• 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.

Submitting:

Just two days left to enter this month's Flash Club Comp!!! August Flash - scroll to top of the thread for rules and prompt.

We've been running a new system of anonymous entries and we've had a noticeably increased number of submissions.

It's just a bit of fun really but a great exercise to get those off-the-top-of-your-head ideas on screen. Who knows what inspiration a sub could trigger? It just might act as a catalyst that sees you writing the next big thing, and before you know it you could be doing the rounds of the chat shows talking about how it all came about. :cool:

So come on, don't be shy. It's open to all members and we've got nothing to lose and the admiration of our peers to gain.

Voting:

It's important that we vote too
. So find yourself a quiet half hour, have a sit down with a cup of tea, coffee or glass of wine to read the entries and cast your vote.

When voting even though we might feel tempted to vote for all entries (because this being Litopia they'll all be great anyway) a better and more accurate result will emerge if we exercise restraint and vote only for those that really stand out for us.

We have also introduced two types of votes using our site emojis - a like (thumbs up) and a love (heart eyes) - in the event of ties the greater number of loves on a sub will carry more weight and act as the breaker.

Also the most prolific voter of the month will get a mention too.
