• 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.

Being somewhat on the weird side, I've managed to write a weird Christmas story in less than 350 words. The deadline for submissions is actually 6th November. I need to reread my piece a few more times and tickle it up where necessary before I submit, but hopefully I'll be happy with it by midnight tomorrow. It appears to be an American contest though, and I have a very English voice in my writings... not sure my piece will travel Ok across the Atlantic ocean... but hey ho, away we go. Thanks for the links... I always look out for them.

Best of luck. I didnt realise the deadline was so SOON. But I specifically thought of you for this one. Glad you caught it. The English never did that guy Dickens any harm in the US.
