• 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.

Hello - good to have you here!
We have a whole area for reviews, Writing Groups - but do read the instructions first!

PS -You'll get access to the Writing Groups when you have been a member of the Colony for 7 days and you have made 20 posts.

Seems a lot to me but I'm not sure I'll make that many!

Hi @Lunarlauncher. Glad to have you here. Litopia has a lot more to offer than simply posting work and receiving critique, which is why we like people to stick around for a while and participate first.

If you haven't done so, I'd encourage you to read @AgentPete's Prime Directive. It explains who we are and what we hope members get out of being here. Please feel free to ask any questions.

And once again, welcome! :)
 
Welcome :)
I vouch for that too, would love to see some of your work.
A problem shared is a problem halved as they say.
And believe me us writers have plenty.

Hey Lunarlauncher, welcome!
I write YA too: Fantasy and Sci-fi. Concentrating on finish my fantasy ms (set in medieval China) at the moment. You?
 
YA mystery adventure although having a gander at this forum would suggest a concern over my dialogue writing coming across as tell and not show when it should be the other way round
