• 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

    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.

I was once at a national writing conference where someone followed an agent into the bathroom and slid a manuscript under the stall while she was trying to pee.

I wonder what the agent did with the MS? Hum, I can guess.

That's stalking. Downright creepy. Serve her right if the agent had a little *accident* and peed on it.
