• 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.

Origin Story:
Paraguay, South America, 2015: A sweltering heat beat down from the high sun as Zack swung back and forth under the shade of a mango tree in his hammock. The wind rustled the leaves among the heavily laden branches ripe with fruit. This was all lost upon him as he was immersed in a fantasy novel. It wasn’t until he finished the book and read the author’s bio that the epiphany struck his mind like dragon fire. After 24 years of life, he’d realized people wrote stories like the one he’d just finished. From then on, he started writing, hoping his characters and stories would inspire and empower others to chase their dreams, so together they could make a better world.

Hey everyone, it's a pleasure to be here. I'm excited to dive into all that is Litopia and the community. Thanks for having me, and let's make all the epic words happen.
 
Hello and welcome, @zackasaurus! Glad you found us. Dragon fire always gets results—there are quite a few writers here who swear by it. I'm glad your experience of it was so positive. :)

I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for on Litopia. It's a very friendly, supportive place for writers of all kinds. Check out The Laboratory and see what others are working on. We learn a lot from critiquing others' work, too. There's Craft Chats if you're interested in the craft of writing, and fantastic blogs at SuperStack – Litopia's own blog platform, which you are more than welcome to add to – and lots more. Happy exploring.

Any questions, let me know – happy to help. I look forward to seeing you around the Colony.

You've been trying at least a year and a half. Persistence pays off. I'm excited to join the book club. I do love Muderbot.
