• 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.

and let folks know I just got a runner-up prize on Writers Online with my short story 'Free passage'. Judges said some flattering stuff. Which is nice. Runner Up - Pastimes - Writers Online
 
@Terry Lowell - what a fantastic story! I really enjoyed it. Great comments too, and I completely agree with them.

"The combination of excellent storytelling skills and gloriously evocative writing give 'Free Passage' a killer edge, making it – unlike its unlucky protagonist – a distinct winner."

haha!! Brilliant. Congratulations! Well deserved.
