[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*

Frighteningly, this is an actual sentence from a fic I'm writing:

Elizabeth, trying to figure out how to explain to Jeannie McKay the circumstances surrounding her brother's death, gave up on the story that involved Rodney dying heroically while saving a bunch of kids and decided to tell the truth: "Your brother was rendered brain-dead by a semi-corporeal alien nymphomaniac who had been molesting both your brother and the man who was his lover in shared hallucinations, if not in actual, physical fact."

see, that's not frightening, it's fantastic! I keep wanting to read the fic, and it doesn't exist. Yours I (hopefully?) shall be able to track down and finish, and for that, you win at life.

Oh, it exists, all right. That was a line from the last chapter of The Glowing of the Shrew (http://ellex42.livejournal.com/52212.html). The first 5 chapters are on my LJ and the last chapter is, at long last, in sight. I just need some free time in which to finish writing it.

well now I have something to help pass the time till I can go in to work at 6. If I fall asleep again like yesterday, I'll miss work again and end up fired. You are officially my new hero.

No I haven't. That's just the beginning of the ending.
