• 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.

    You can dismiss this notice by clicking the "x" box

Okay, I'm new, too.

Hello, all. My name's Chuck Ott, I'm from Chicago, and I have two self-published novels: The Floor of the World (a science fiction adventure) and Something Made of Vacuum (a science fiction romantic comedy, if you can imagine such a thing ). Some big holes in my knowledge are TV shows, music and sports -- other than that, I'm interested in pretty much everything. I'd be interested to read what you're working on, in any genre. Pleased to meet you!

Welcome!
 
Welcome, kindred spirit. I, too, have no interest in sports (people think I'm deaf when I say What Game, and repeat it louder) or TV (haven't owned one for years, too much mind-melt and advertising), or modern music (my kids don't get that), but enjoy playing trad. Irish, which is a participating sport, especially on Paddy's day. I was interested in sci fi once upon a time, did all the classics... and I did recently enjoy Martian, which was fun and well written...
