• 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 got feedback from them. It is a group of writers and publishing people who formed an agency. You will get value for money-as they try to give what they would want to pay for, but yeah. They are trying to monetise what they know. Still another comp that is worth the money if you've got it to spare.
