[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*

I have returned to commit more horrors.

Everyone had said sympathetically promised, while they mopped Elizabeth's lily-white brow as she lay on her deathbed, that obviously they would carry out whatever her desperate last wish might be; but it is no exxageration to say that no one was expecting the Spanish inquisition she would demand that they make Kavanagh king of Atlantis.

"But John," screeched Steve the Wraith tragically, "I do not wish to eat you-- I wish only to LOVE you!"

It was drizzly and cold on Wednesday, the fifth of September, when Rodney McKay, Esquire addressed his gathered group of the finest minds in two galaxies: "Our next, most hallowed duty," he implored them, picking his teeth with a headset mic, "concerns how we will transform Wraith hiveships into giant blocks of Muenster cheese."

p.s. This may be what is known as the bad crack, that I am on. Whoopsie.

No, it is the GOOD crack--a very fine vintage! These are all awesome.
