• 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.

Ok, it's me! Hannah! Your new mod for the One Perfect Sentence!


As it's March, our theme is Marching. Why/When/Where/Who: Your choice in One Perfect Sentence.


The rules are simple:

  • Each entry must be ONE sentence only, as defined by the basic rules of English grammar. We will notice if you squeeze unrelated clauses together and pretend it's a sentence, so please don't do it. Your entry will be disqualified and removed.

  • Don’t comment on other peoples’ entries – this makes the thread far less readable. If you’d like to make a comment – or if you have a question – then please do so in Café Life (here), using the “One Perfect Sentence” prefix. I will keep checking the thread to answer any questions.

  • You can make as many entries as you want to.

  • IMPORTANT: You MUST make your entry anonymous by ticking the “Posting as Anonymous?” box. Entries that don’t do this will be removed.

Voting will open later this month.

But don't do it here. Head over to the One Perfect Sentence (OPS) forum and post your entries there.

You have one more week to enter your One Perfect Sentence on the theme of 'marching'. Closing date and time is Midnight (GMT) Thursday 27th March. During next week, I will contact entrants whose sentences don't match the 'marching' theme or which break basic grammar rules. Your entries will be disqualified, but you will have time to re-enter should you wish to before voting opens on Monday 31st March.

Keep Writing!
