• 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.

Rest easy Peyton, this is really about bonding and an exercise in story telling. Since we cant get together in person and entertain each other with stories we have to do it this way. For me it was also a nudge to make videos of myself. I was shy about that but this got me out of my comfort zone. Bring on Tik Tok and instagram.
 
Pete made this marvellous site for story slam. He deserves to be haunted by our stories for his sins.

After several technical difficulties, I managed to upload a little piece. I dressed up and was going for a spooky look, complete with dark rings under my eyes. But they weren't dark enough so I only managed to look like a sad old lady who needed some more sleep. But I was proud of the severed head in the background. Also I just winged it. Unscripted and one take only. But it is a true story (ish).
