• 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.

I joined a while ago and am now looking around to see what this is all about. I've written three books- the first of which will remain forever buried on a lost deserted island. The third I just finished and am looking for beta-readers. Looking forward to participating here.
 
You're very welcome to the colony, @marta

Nice to have you here. Hope you enjoy Litopia and do get involved as soon as you’re ready to.

This is a good place to check out (How-to guide) to see a lot of what goes on in the colony.

If anything is unclear do please contact me and I’ll be happy to assist if I can.
 
Thanks for letting me read. I made a few comments on your ms, but about the other story, the one of the first book buried on a desert island, the third book revealed on Litopia, and the second a mystery. When you become a famous writer and cannot locate that first book, an obsessive literary scholar will risk cos life to find that island and unearth the ms, but unearthly obstacles and secret powers will arise to prevent its discovery. Think Aspern Papers but middle grade science fiction...

Cheers, and I will DM you my comments on Descendants.
