• 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.

Hi,
I'm new here, and new to fiction writing as well, though I've been reading ever since I can remember. So nothing much to say about myself except that I'm an aspirant author, a struggling one - struggling with a manuscript, with query letters and cover letters - and in need to be in a place (at least virtually) where all that is normal and not a sign of certifiable lunacy. I hope this is that place.

Whether we are sane or not is clearly debatable, but you are certainly in the right place, so welcome ;)

Welcome Peggy Lou!

Points for use the of the word aspirant; I've no doubt that you will find Litopia useful, supportive, and entertaining, and that we will in turn learn a great deal from you as well!

Here — conversely but hopefully sufficient for your purposes — all that is certifiably lunacic is the norm.
Also eldritch non-Euclidean architecture, but that's another story.

Welcome! Nice dog. I'd love to have a dog.
A Vizsla by choice. Or maybe a Weimaraner. But I also like English bull terriers - it's the big Roman nose and little eyes. Ugliness is cute.
Why am I saying any of this? It's one of those days.

Please get one. No fairy wishes needed.
