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*

I think this is a stupendous idea, and I like how it follows so serendipitously after your entry about bad fic summaries... Anyway, one question-- are we allowed to enter more than once? I am assuming yes, since that is how the B-L works. I'd LOVE to see the winner's 58 other entries.

Here are two:

Teyla's glittering russet hair flashed in the light breeze as she angrily tossed her head; although he had been sent to assist with the harvest, that great graceless hulk of a marine called Bates had done little more than help Teyla's mind into a furor and her loins into a pillar of flame.

Rodney's deep, sparklingly blue eyes were second only to the infinite sea that stretched around Atlantis, in which John wished to swim, float, and doggy-paddle endlessly (but maybe the Canadian scientist would let him do all that in his eyes, too, if they found an Ancient device created for the purpose).

You may ABSOLUTELY enter multiple times, and I applaud your first two efforts, as they are terrible. Which is, you know, good. *g*

Also, thank you for inspiring this. And yes, I was pleased by the serendipity, too!
