• 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.

Hey everyone, just want to give a gentle reminder that when offering critique in the Writing Groups, please resist the urge to edit or rewrite. @AgentPete has requested we give our impressions as a reader. THIS THREAD is pinned at the top of the forum, so please read it before you do any critique in there.

If you and the poster want to exchange more detailed critique that may involve editing or re-writiing, you may always do so via PM or email. Thank you. :)
