• 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.

Writing whilst suffering from over-indulgence is a most rewarding endeavour, I have been told. So why not give the Flash Club a wee whirl while you are in optimal-stuffed- condition? The oft-fabled virtual Litopia trophy is up for grabs for the worthy winner :)
 
I've heard that when writing for the Flash Club one uses 10 calories per word. Is that true? If so, I might use it as part my January detox.
Yes. Yes, that it completely true. And at this time of year, because its cold and damp, you actually use *13* calories per word, so even more impetus.

In which case, a prompt for 1000 word piece, please.
For you, Hannah, I'll allow you write 10 x 100 word pieces in sequence.
