TC Tidbit: And The Best of the Worst Winners Are...

The winners for the 2011 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest – which asks people to submit terrible first sentences to fake novels - have been announced. The contest, which began in 1982 at San Jose University, derives its name from novelist Edward George Bulwer-Lytton (pictured), who penned the iconic first sentence, “It was a dark and stormy night,” for his 1830 book Paul Clifford.
