I worry a bit about people that can't differentiate between a cat and a dog.

Cats don't have tails like that though. :(

 

Dogs tails fall or are straight, cats can freely move their tails and use their tail gracefully to balance most of the time.

But it shows more skill to write intelligent letter-less sentences which connect to previous posters' sentences.

Very true. It is harder, and more fun, to have some continuity to the game.

I'm happy that you agree with me.

 

On a semi-related note, have you ever heard of lipograms? They are the extreme version of this game.

I was not previously aware of the presence of lipograms, but the concept interests me. I'm not sure if I have it in me to write an entire novel without using one specific letter, but I'm also too lazy to want to write a novel.

I just find lipograms fascinating. I know for a fact that writing a lipogram is not within this author's skills.

That's nonsense, Livvy. You're doing very well with this game. I'm sure you could write a paragraph, at least.

I'd seriously pay an author to not use the E or to not use the letter S in an entire book. o.o

A book does exist that doesn't use 'E' at all. It's called Gadsby. It's likely a bland book, but I'd like to see the lack of 'E' on that kind of scale.

 

I am positive that we'd be able to made a multi-sentence unit, with little hassle if we want.
