• 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.

Jane Friedman (you've probably come across her website if you've ever searched for querying tips) has just found a bunch of books published in her name, the content of which is all AI generated. I'm pretty sure that whoever did this will have a hefty fine to pay (I hope). Read about it here:

 
The copyright police need to reach Judge Dread status. There are no real penalties now and what there are rarely enforced. It comes down to the low value put on creativity. Marketing is considered more important. All you need is to sell to the feeble-minded masses. You dont need a good product. Just a good campaign. I just paid for a self marketing course from Jane-now I'm worried whether it's really her. Gonna go check.
