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!

'This is wrong,' Sammy thought to himself, (no, he mentally corrected, Sam, only Dean is allowed to call me Sammy) wrong on so many levels, like the level of Hell his Dad was going to crawl out of if he ever caught wind of what his sons were doing to each other at this very moment, wrong but oh so right and it wasn't like they were going to make two headed babies, well not unless he couldn't reverse that hermophrodite spell that had recently been cast on Dean.

edit: Would you believe that the bad spelling was on purpose to make it even worse???? Yeah, didn't think so. "hermaphrodite"

This is so good (and by good, I mean bad, of course) on so many levels. The fact that Sam can't call himself Sammy... the content, the, the... wow. Well done.
