• 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.

I want to welcome you to the new-look Steam Room, formerly the Back Room.

The Steam Room is reserved for Full Members. And it’s very private. Search engines can’t see it or index it, nor is it visible to non-members. Although basic (i.e. free) members can see the titles of threads there, they cannot read the contents of threads or posts.

In its former incarnation as the Back Room, it has already proved its usefulness… for members to seek and give confidential advice, for contractual discussions, and much, much more.

And now with its newly-broadened remit, it’s going to be even more useful.

We’ve relaxed our “no politics” rule to allow political discussions – as long as they don’t violate the Prime Directive (please re-read!).

But we’d prefer politics to be discussed in the Steam Room. After all… that’s where you can go to let off steam!

Litopia Gives You Unrivalled Privacy​


Inside the Steam Room, you’ll find that you have total control over the threads and posts you make there. For example, you can delete any thread you create or any post you make.

And because we don’t permit third parties such as search engines, AI bots etc to access the Steam Room, they can’t index it to keep their own copies of your writing.

Please spread the word about Litopia and – if you’re not already a Full Member – do upgrade now!
