Cool, can't wait until they ban the use of the letter 'e' for non-verified users and wii all hav to wrayt layk this
- Avoiding the letter E is already a creative writing style, except you don't hav to wrayt layk this. There's even a Mastodon instance dedicated to it and a funny writeup about what happened when they came across another mastodon instance where the letter E is the only allowed letter.
  
  I was initially excited to hear about the Oulipo community, but they seem to have an very limited take on what Oulipo is/was. There is a lot more to Oulipo than lipograms (avoiding a character) as even the Wikipedia page says.
  
  Can you elaborate?
  
  The whole point of Oulipo is "the seeking of new structures and patterns".
  Constraints inspire creativity, so let's come up with new constraints.
  If you only allow one structure/constraint, that's the opposite of what Oulipo is about.

  "Oulipo Compendium" is a fun book if you can find it.
  Motte's "Oulipo: A Primer of Potential Literature" is OK but a bit dry. Looks like there've been a couple new surveys recently too.
  The mastodon community Oulipo.social only allows one structure/constraint, so it's not that interesting. If you know of any good Oulipo communities in the fediverse, I'd be thrilled to hear about them.
