Excuse you.
Dew: That was so hot, Rainy.
Rain: I literally called the person who just flirted with you a degenerate dog and told them I hope they get dragged through the streets.
Dew: I love you so much.

Hello, people coming from the Instagram repost/s of my i-less story! What a blast from the recent past.
Here is a brief but hopefully illuminating primer and a response to both the most common questions in my inbox atm and some of the more annoying and less informed comments over on the 'gram.
It's called a lipogram, and I'm not claiming to have invented it! It's a form of constrained writing, which essentially means writing whilst using certain self-imposed rules. I chose to try and write a story without the letter i in it because others have already done it without an e, and also e is much harder and I'm a mere egg. The purpose of constrained writing is to try and work with the constraint, not against it. It's a really good way of bettering your technique. I genuinely recommend looking into constrained writing if you have a bit of a block - having to think outside the box is a very good skill to hone. There are other methods beside lipograms, too. Look up the Oulipo group for an absolute gang of mad lads. There are genderless novels (in French, so it's a bit more impressive), and even a novel consisting entirely of the words uttered by Ophelia in Hamlet. If you think my project is ambitious and possibly masochistic, you ain't seen nothing yet.
No, I haven't cheated - I haven't just typed words and left the letter i out. Every single goddamn word has been selected for its innate lack of the letter i, and proofread for typos to ensure that it's fair and accurate. There would be literally no point in doing it if I was just going to cheat! I didn't know the post was going to go viral. I'm writing this story for my own edification, not fame and glory, so cheating would be beyond pointless. Nothing gained there.
The premise of the story is a retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice. The lack of a letter i is central to the theme of the story, but not the plot. Eurydice is a character who only exists in the stories of others, and my take on her narrative is a commentary on her lack of identity. And no, I can't use her name in the story. This is also deliberate! The constraint is entwined with the narrative.
It isn't published anywhere yet as I had an issue with one place I sent it, where they expressed interest and then quite shadily brought out something similar without acknowledging me, which put me off pursuing publication for a while, understandably. It will see the light of day, though! It still needs a bit of work, and I'm working on Other Things at the moment. I've put too much work into it for it to linger lifeless on my Google Docs, though.
The current word count is 15,695 after I cut out a whole section that wasn't working. I've probably written about 20,000 words total, but I'm not counting the words I deleted! Plot is just as important as technique, innit.
No, it isn't just a bunch of random words copy and pasted, and I think it's actually completely readable, and that the constraint is less obvious most of the time than you'd expect. That's not to say that it doesn't jar on occasion - I have to take the long way around some very common words and phrases, after all - but I'm pretty proud of how it reads! It's slow going, and I've had to get my thesaurus out more times than you can even imagine, but I genuinely am proud of it and how the constraint fits, both thematically and stylistically.
Here is the paragraph I'm working on at the moment, plus the overall word count and proof of the missing i:

I think that's all the good faith questions and weirdly aggressive accusations covered! And now I'm going to go to bed.

I love this scene in Migration
The shot captures Adrien's eyes in a way that genuinely reflects the love and affection he holds. Taken from a higher angle, the camera lens reveals the depth of emotion in his gaze.
The lighting is expertly set to highlight his eyes, which seem to glow with warmth and tenderness. It's a beautiful sight to behold and a testament to the power of love.
The silent understanding between Adrien and Marinette- oh wait, that's right, HE IS LOOKING AT LUKA.

Just a moody shot of Alex on Mars (nearly the moon)
-
I wanna be your raincoat
For those frequent rainy days
I wanna be your dreamboat
When you want to sail away
Let me be your teddy bear
Take me with you anywhere
I don’t care
I wanna be yours
-
And Alex’s addition I don’t wanna be hers I wanna be yours

Hell yes I finally got a clip of the phenomenal ending of the ultracheese (also wtf Alex but singing but I haven’t stopped loving you once to then gaze up at the mirrorball and reach a hand out towards it and trying to hold onto at least parts of it like sir mirrorball=miles Kane; only to then go on and play there’d better be a mirrorball followed by 505// also Matt’s proud as fuck smile in the back)
