From [livejournal.com profile] cincodemaygirl:

This year's Bulwer-Lytton contest winners.

The contest asks people to write the worst opening sentence possible, in honor of Bulwer-Lytton, who penned the "It was a dark and stormy night," opener many years ago.

These are some of the stinkiest opening sentences I've ever read...and yet I can't look away. The Dishonorable Mention for Children's Literature is wonderful.

Yay for Bulwer-Lytton. The Style Invitational ran a take-off contest a while back that you might also enjoy (scroll down to see the results).
