Fannish Bulwer-Lytton Contest!

[trinityofone]

Smart Bitches Trashy Books is having a contest in honor of the 2008 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest Winners. Two years ago, I held a similar contest. I feel like it's time to bring it back—with a vengeance!

Here are the rules:

1. Comment with the worst sentence you can imagine opening a fic. I am opening this up to any and all fandoms this year, with the caveat that, as the initial judge, I may be more partial to fandoms I am familiar with. Note: the sentence should be a sentence. Crazy punctuation is fine and even encouraged, but opening paragraphs will not be counted. ETA: You're welcome to make as many entries as you like. I'd recommend one per comment for clarity, but I'm not gonna be a stickler on that.

2. On Thursday morning-ish, I will choose my ten favorite entries for everyone to vote on. Feel free to comment on your favorite entries; my opinions on matters unpolitical can often be swayed. ;-)

3. Voting will run through the weekend; on Monday I will announce the winners and possibly some runners-up. There will be prizes! (Most likely a selection of used books on numerous enchanting subjects.)

4. Feel free to link! Let's see if we can make this an omnifannish extravaganza.

And...go!

And Rodney goes to China, right? Because that'll learn'em.

Your icon is deeply disturbing. *g*

Yes! He goes to China and then tries to commit suicide and John travels to his side and the doctors say that Rodney's given up the will to live and so John leans down and tells Rodney, softly and gently while crying, that he can't go on without Rodney and if Rodney dies, John will do a kamikaze run into a Hive Ship. Rodney wakes up and they live happily ever after. The End.

One of the meanings of my LJ name is "chair lift" in Spanish; the pic in the icon is the result of a vanity google image search for a meme.

That's awesome. Their love is so disturbing pure. *sniffs and wipes away a lone, crystal tear*

Heh. I now regret using a made-up name for I'll never find such awesome image for an icon.
