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.

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.

My kids are now champion longsword fighters, know Lakota mounted archery, are working as stunties and quote Aristotle on drama back at me. They certainly haven't turned out dull. Thank you books.
