• 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.

February 21: We Were Liars by E. Lockhart (chosen by Bev)



Book Club is not really an elite cadre. Or, if it is, anyone can join at any time. Litopians who wish to pop in for a meeting should feel very welcome. The difference between other book clubs and ours, we hope, is that we look at the books through the eyes of a writer, not a reader. Whether or not we like something does matter, but what matters more is how the author did what they did, and if it works. And, of course, can we steal that and use it to improve our own works.

Starts at…
