• 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

    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.

Have been away from all of these opportunities because life has a funny way of weighing itself hard! But trying to heave myself back on the leather saddle. Got one leg on...
 
How did everyone get on with this? Or did no one end up partaking in the pitching fun?

I did it, but no bites :(

Same here. Oh well. I didn't expect to. I did something naughty though. I copied in each of the readers and including the logo for a visual...I shan't be shamed no I shan't!:D I had my reasons though using the same reasoning as advertisers use - familiarity creates acceptance but it needs at least 9 exposures to even work.
 
No news is to be taken as no news. One pitch only as per the rules. There's a character on there who inundates the feed. Oli someone and it's tantamount to trolling. I don't think that's OK but I see nothing wrong with people using visuals, Emurelda...breaks up the look of the wall.

The people at CB did say that, what while they're alert for anything, what they are really hoping for is a psychological thriller. Another Gone Girl.
 
Looking at mine now... nothing here, as well. Just a lot of people favoriting them to dig through, looking to see if any of them are affiliate with Curtis Brown.
