• 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…

    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.

Former Booker Prize Chairman Professor John Sutherland has come up with a novel idea - condensing the nation's 25 favourite beach reads into 140 characters for the Twitter generation.

Not novel. I tried it myself some time ago. It's only novel because he's more famous than me. But I can prove I wrote a number of my own stories, and some modernised versions of classic short stories, in 140 character units, starting about 2-3 years ago. It was when I was messing around trying to decide what to write or how. I eventually decided the character limit was too artificial and constraining, and gave it up.
