• 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.

News No Idea what a Chapbook is-but there is a comp for them

This is Mickle's Bailiwick.
Blimey, our Pamela Jo... 'bailiwick' is a bloomin' good word. I've had a good look at your link. It's collection of flash fiction and suchlike they're after. No poetry. I might have enough offerings that I could put together for a chap book collection. Timing is a bit tight, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the nudge... I appreciate your words.

I never could resist a pickle. I'd never heard of this before, but I think it is a lovely idea. I dont know does doggerel count as poetry? Put it in a paragraph and call it prose. Prose by any other name smells as sweet. There's something about getting your stuff out there that does us good I think. it's standing up and saying "This is who I am. " Hope you can get it in.
