[livejournal.com profile] cincodemaygirl pointed out that the winners of this year's Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest have been announced. This is the contest where people try to create the worst opening sentence of a novel EVER. Glancing over the winners, I remembered that ages back someone had done a BtVS version of the contest. (My favorite entry was, and still is, "I'm back!" Riley said.) And I thought: Dude, we need to have the SGA version of this, like, yesterday.

So! Comment here with the worst possible sentence you can imagine opening an SGA fic. On Friday morning, I'll pick a winner and maybe a few runners-up and there will be prizes of some kind. (Maybe fic, maybe something else.) Hopefully, if enough people play, this will be entertaining enough to get us through to the premiere.

I may also compose a few bad sentences myself, although obviously, I am not qualified to win my own contest. *g* Oh, and please feel free to pimp this!

Okay...go!

ETA: In response to a question: Yes, you can enter as many times as you want. *eg*

Bad writing? Now, THAT I can do!

"Rodney, dangling from his harness as the cruel Atlantis breeze rustled his little remaining hair, peered down at the water far, far below him as he decided which was the greater sacrifice: his own life, his death almost certain if he didn't grasp the railing of the balcony above him; or the loss of the only two Twinkies(tm) left in Atlantis, one clutched in each of his sweaty palms as he dangled there, hoping for salvation from the great Twinkie(tm) fairy in the sky."
