• 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.

The Marvellous May Challenge

170 years ago, the famous (and now somewhat controversial) psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud was born. This has inspired my choice for this month's challenge: your one perfect sentence theme is moral conscience. You do not have to use those words, but you must stick to the theme.

The rules are simple:

  • Each entry must be ONE sentence only, as defined by the basic rules of English grammar. We will notice if you squeeze unrelated clauses together and pretend it's a sentence, so please don't do it. Your entry will be disqualified and removed.
  • Don’t comment on other people's entries – this makes the thread far less readable. If you’d like to make a comment – or if you have a question – then please do so in the Café Life thread under the “One Perfect Sentence” prefix. I will keep checking the thread to answer any general questions. If you have a question you don't want others to read, please private message me directly.
  • You can make as many entries as you want to, but only your entry with the greatest number of votes will win a place (and Litbits).
  • IMPORTANT: You MUST make your entry anonymous by ticking the “Posting as Anonymous?” box. Entries that don’t do this will be removed.
This competition will close midnight (BST) Sunday 24th May after which voting will open for one week.

Head over to The Marvellous May Challenge! and give us you perfect sentence!
