SGA Bulwer-Lytton Contest!

[trinityofone]

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*

PS: Perhaps you should (if you can bear the pain) make all the possible sentences into a set of polls for people to vote on? Or get a few people to narrow it down for you, like a panel, and then have a public vote for the winner(s). That way you can enter,too :)

Well, I don't really care about winning myself, but I thought--since I'm going to have a hell of a time choosing, among other things--that I'd pick however many favorites LJ allows in a poll, and have people vote for the grand prize from those. Then I'll make up funny Runner-Up titles for the rest. Does that sound good, do you think?

Yes! You are teh Smrt.

*goes away to think of more sentences* *g*

Dishonorable mentions, remember.

For the record, 2005'efore the next year winners were funnier, but it seems that they take them down before the next year is awarded.
