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!

Rodney was utterly horrified to discover that new and totally hot brunette captain with the strange purple eyes, who swore like a trooper and was insanely good with a gun and at martial arts - she'd totally taken Ronon and Teyla on and won with her superior fighting skills, but had been really like modest about it - was in actual fact John's half sister, twice removed, once lost, and the daughter of an ancient, which also meant she had kick ass powers of telekinesis and healing - that didn't really show up till she got to Atlantis, discovered she was the saviour of the galaxy and fell in love with Rodney.

That made me laugh. Of course she was the daughter of an ancient and etc. How could she not be?
