• 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.

Just to keep everyone in the picture…

Litopia always was as much about the social aspect of the writing / writer’s life as about the professional. IE we mostly had the work/life balance about right :) Over recent times, that’s shifted a bit to favour work over fun. What we’ll be introducing soon will be a healthy antidote to that… all work and no play… etc, etc.

You may see things flashing on and off for a bit here, as software is installed, tested, turned on and off, etc. Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises.

More about Social Groups when we’re closer to unveiling… :) p.

There's a Book Club with Jason in the works and a Show and Tell evening for telling scary stories, and humourous anecdotes that may be coalescing. Is that something that can be incorporated? Emily has taken the helm for Show and Tell from Downchunder to our own Muddle Earth realm

Exactly :) Only limited by your imagination. As long as there are a few people who share your passion / special interest / weirdness (!) then you can create a SIG (Social Interest Group).
 
Drafted.
Great idea, Peter :)


And there I was, thinking I was just going to be the esteemed assistant doling out shoulder massages and murmuring encouraging words... rather than being Head Midwife :D
Drafted. Honestly I'm in this with you. I just have to warn you I have 2 settings. Hyperfocus and "Where the Hell did I put my..., SQUIRREL!"
