• 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.

Hi all, just joined after I spotted Pop-Up Submissions on YouTube. Finding that channel really fascinating. Only just touched the surface of the forums at this stage. Does anyone have advice on areas they find most useful?

Hi Sarah, and welcome.

I find the Writing Groups very useful. I have learnt as much from giving feedback as I have from receiving feedback. And of course the Flash Club. It makes me attempt stuff I wouldn't normally.

Enjoy your time here.
 
Welcome, it's all good stuff but some of it needs digging out. When you read a thread there are usually suggested ones from the past posted at the bottom. By browsing those and following your nose you can wind up in interesting places.
