Bullwinchester-Lytton Worst First Lines Contest - Round One!
So, if you've played in previous years, you know what this is all about. It's the brainchild of deirdre_c that I took over a couple years ago.
It's a spin on the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest, which celebrates the worst first lines in fiction. Your mission? To put that ol' Winchester spin on things and make people cry with how bad you can be.
It consists of three rounds of submissions and three rounds of voting. Check the itinerary for submission and voting times; each round will continue until the new one opens.
The basic rules:
1. Each person can enter up to three "first lines" per round.
2. Sunday afternoon the three "winners" will be put up in one final voting poll to determine the ultimate champion. Winner gets two months free paid LJ time and some nifty graphics.
3. You can submit any characters, any genre. This means Wincest is OK. So is het. Go wild, kids.
To get us in the mood, let's look at last year's co-winners:
Eyes pink-rimmed after a long night of sobbing into his teddy bear, the rest of Dean's face fared little better: freckles standing out like cancerous pimples, skin as pasty white as last night's undercooked pancakes, and the final straw, dried snot flaking above his upper lip... and all this because the damn car wouldn't start for him, but did for Sam.
Dean moaned, the sound almost entirely unlike the mournful death croak of an Abbysinian bullfrog being crushed by two decorative paving stones on a hot August morning in Nantucket, but it did have sufficient tonal elements of that sad final amphibian warble that both Sam and Castiel wondered if suggesting Dean eat just one brussels sprout was too much to ask of a man who'd been to Hell.
Now, those are eye-bleedingly bad, but I know we have it in us to top that this year! Come on and show us what you've got!
First round submissions should be submitted as comments to this post. Submissions will close at 4pm EST/ 1pm PST.
