• 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.

Not bad news, Litopians. But I do need to tell you that after our so-strange coronavirus summer, when Huddles were open to all and sundry (and I hope helped a few folk get through a really challenging period) we’re going back to the original model.

Full Members are the lifeblood of Litopia, and one way to acknowledge their very real contribution to the Colony’s survival is to give them an exclusive Priority Booking period for each Huddle.

Normally, this means booking for Full Members will open on the Tuesday before the Huddle.

Basic (free) Members are not excluded, though.

Depending on space, booking for Basic Members will open approximately on the Friday before the Huddle, i.e. one day before.

What does this mean?

For less than ten bucks a month, Full Members can attend four Huddles per month!

You can pay a small fortune – maybe a large one – to attend a crowded seminar, masterclass or other similar event organised by a for-profit company. Typically hundreds of dollars, often more. Chances are you won’t get any individual attention at all. And you certainly won’t benefit from the unique collegiate ethos that makes Litopia so special.

We don’t charge a bean to attend a Huddle.

However. We do ask that if at all possible, you upgrade your membership from Basic to Full. This is really the only way that Litopia can keep going.

Hope this makes sense!
