• 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.

Dr Zhivago’s heroine takes centre stage in plagiarism row. Pete's mentioned this. She's lucky her publisher is picking up the costs. Why that clause in your contract is important. I passed on this book, though I liked the premise because it was really sold as non fiction and only in deciphering the small print did I see it was meant to be historical fiction. I have never liked that ruse. Like Dan Brown ripping off other people's research and hard work. That story is never as good as the true story.
