• 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

    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.

ProWritingAid is running a competition for the first 5k of an unpublished novel. Rather big prizes: 50K USD for the winner and (as far as I can make out) 5K for five runner ups. I think there's a fee if you don't subscribe to their service. I had a quick look at the judges in the panel, and maybe YA will have an advantage. Though I'm sure it opens for all.
