So far, everyone has done really well at writing horrible fic. I have to give props to Cygnea for including Weiß Kreuz there (Let's do a rendition of "Jeepstar" everyone together! )
So, let's here what the writers and readers think of our contest, hmmm?

This is fun. It's like taking everything I've learned over the past seven or so years about writing and throwing it out of the window.

You HAVE to submit this sentence as an entry in the Fantasy category of the Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest!It was a bright and shining morning, the beauty of which dazzled all but the most banal of creatures, and made them forget that good writing includes phrases, or sentences, or even funny small makings on parchament paper in quilled ink known as "Kurderaz" in dwarven, "elirilllaniiri" in high elven, "uggy-puggy" in the quaint halfling toungue, "ahhgetysai" in the mysterious far off languages muttered in the dark places of the Underdark, "thrass" in the subtle language of seaturtles, and known among the common writers at The Lusty Paladin, a local Bed, Booze, and Breakfast Bar, as "commas".
For anyone who wants to try to write the worst opening sentence of the world's worst imaginary novel, please note the deadline for entries. As stated on the Bulwer-Lytton website, "The official deadline is April 15 (a date that Americans associate with painful submissions and making up bad stories). The actual deadline may be as late as June 30."

I suspect readers might enjoy such classics as ALASSAS BIG NIGHT ON THE TOWN, which is itself a round robin. (Ease of Use Fanfic and its sequel are probably also going to go down well here.)

Guys, I commend you all on your effort. This is so bad it's beautiful.
Through lightning, travel shadow,
Through hell and all above,
Surviving sword and arrow,
Bound stronger by the love
***
And in the end a witness,
To where the death has lain,
Silent through the sorrow,
Where innocents lie slain

This is just an fyi to everyone, based on what Scipio said: Anomen and his comrades can be freely ignored from the storyline. But who says there has to be any continuity or sense in the storyline?
"The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesterday, but it was never the streets that were evil." - Sister Miriam Godwinson, Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri

"We seek the fair Saphhiria, and her Worthy Company of Charioteers of Flight!" Minsc intoned, after using Lilacor to open the emergency tin of Prophetic Cryptic Words For Use In Case Of Actual Dialogue With Wisdom Below 10.
I need a tin of that stuff. Do they export it to other worlds?

Nope - I keep a tin on hand for when things get rough marital-wise. Unfortunately, it resides right beside the tin marked "Really Stupid Words To Say To Your Spouse Showing How Far Your Wisdom Is Below 10"
