As with any part of the basic story structure, you have to be careful when you remove it. You remove the introduction? your confusing your readers. The complication? Your story becomes stale. The climax? The story has no ending. The Denouement? The story has no consequence.

You can remove them as I stated in a previous blog but only in very specific instances. You have to know extremely well the structure before you remove it. So you know what you're getting into.
