• 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

Not this one, 1408. :) I'd be up for it but I haven't seen it early enough. Spotted it on Twitter today, thought I'd share. I have a horror story in a drawer, but it's something I could turn into a novel one day so I'm sitting on it.
