• 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.

I put off signing up because I felt abandoned when the old site closed down and I don't give my trust easily. But I see a few old friends are here so I guess I'll poke my head in now and then. I'm still looking for representation, but I think my writing has improved with each new try, so it's all good. This is the year, I can feel it in my bones.
Hello to all the old pals and any new friends out there. Hope this is still a good place to put up your feet.

I'm writing YA fantasy stuff mostly. I'm polishing and shopping around a YA version of one I posted part of on the old Litopia actually. Some of the oldies might know it by the title Bound. I call it The Gift of Lies now.
 
Keep poking. Hopefully more friends will find us. If they don't, I have their emails ... lol.

Nice to see you.

Hello, booknut! I remember you well! I'm Agring from the old forum, if that rings a bell. In fact, you critiqued my first chapter (from "The Waters of Nyra," about dragons). Your comments were immensely helpful... I still have them saved on my harddrive!

Good to see you Kelly! I remember the little dragons. How is that story coming along?
 
Hello, Booknut. Thanks for remembering. The book is published! Well, self-published. How is your writing coming along?
