• 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…

Well crap.

I was hoping the start of my first-contact novel would wind up in a Sci-Fi Pop-Up. I just found out about the one tomorrow. Unfortunately, I haven't put in a sub yet :-(

So my questions...

- Is any consideration made to the genre of a submission? Does it get slotted into a similarly-themed Pop-Up when possible?

- How important is the personal bio part? Do I
include my occupation or hobbies? I'm not very interesting, and don't imagine anyone would care.

- Will there be another Sci-Fi Pop-Up in the future (please, oh please).

Hi @M. Dupré

Lately shows have been themed but not always, and in the past there were often lost of different genres in one episode.

Having said that @Emily will be able to shed more light on the current position.
 
Hi there @M. Dupré :) Yes, we've been experimenting with theming shows according to genres, and YES there will be another Sci-fi one in the coming weeks!

As for the bio... Maybe that would be a good Huddle question?? :)

But looking forward to your sub!
 
Thanks, Jon and Em :)

Today was the first time I participated in a Pop-Up. That was a lot of fun. It's cool Pete reads chat-room comments during the program. I really learned a lot. I just wish my connection was better. Every time it dropped, I had to reload the page.

So now I see how others do it, I'll have a go.
