i just wanted to spread the word on a writing contest i've been following for a while now.
basically the challenge is to write the worst opening like to a novel you can. the catch is, it has to be written in a believably unintentional way, as though yiu were an amatuer writer making amatuer mistakes.

here's the website. just click on a year. you'll get a feel for what qualifies and what doesn't.
there's no prize to win, you simply get the recognition of winning.
but really, some of the entries made my gut ache i laughed so hard. an example:,
"Crime", declared the police captain, " is everywhere, crime, crime!"
or
The evil Intergalactic Warlord surveyed the destruction he had wrought. "Booyah!" he proclaimed. "I'm in ur base! I'm. killing all ur manz!"
check the site out, it's good for a lot of laughs. also i was thinking maybe we could have our own fun by making some up ourselves.
