Free Naming and Branding Consultants and Resources

It was a dark and stormy night; the results of the fiction contest were washed upon the beach in front of the beachfront cottage where I was in a bottle.

If you like creative fiction, and can't get enough of badly written opening sentences, you'll want to have a look at all the winners of the aptly named Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.

In the Children's Literature category, an award of dubious distinction went to Cory Gano of Camas, WA for this opening sentence:
As he entered the room within which so many a wild night of their sweltering love affair had been spent, the White Rabbit regarded her with benevolent eyes, her posture such that he suspected something was wrong, but before he could speak Alice unburied her face from her trembling hands and between her intense sobs he made out the words, "I'm late . . . I'm late."
