Is the art of the paragraph dead?

You would think so from reading Fab's Stories and Fantasies section!

'Tis the way of t'internet, I'm afraid - everything is in short, half-digested gobbits of nothing, lest we get bogged down in the details...

It's more the exact opposite of that, huge walls of text with nary a space to breathe, reflect and digest to be seen.

Alas too often it is dead, the days of the introduction, meat of the text and a nice concluding summary appear to be over.

Probably more down to the SMS character limit and pain of typing long messages than any dumbing down of people.

Alas it seems when you do get all flowery and prosaic that very few people bother to read much further, which means I won't be getting many smileys as people will not be reading this last bit of the past

I find that paragraphs, punctuation, spelling and grammar are all endangered species.

And (I love starting a sentence with a conjunction ) as for colons and semicolons ......

One smiley coming up

You have a nice turn of phrase. I was always told "tell 'em what you are going to tell 'em, tell 'em, tell 'em what you have told 'em" but I will settle for introduction, meat and summary.

Can only assume that punctuation gets forgotten when one hand is typing and the other is urgently busy elsewhere..

Some of my stories were like that for a while. All of my posts were too. Admittedly this was not due to a lack of understanding of paragraphs but instead not being able to figure out where the space button was on my new phone.

I managed to find it 10 months later.

...and in many messages that we receive sadly.

I suspect some (many?)of the contributions are lift from elsewhere on the net and the punctuation simply vanishes in the copy and paste routine.
