The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest
"Where WWW means 'Wretched Writers Welcome'." An annual competition to
"compose the opening sentence to the worst of all possible novels."
Named after the late Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, English baron and
poet, whose 1830 novel Paul Clifford
opened with the immortal line, "It was a dark and stormy night" and
went downhill from there. Sponsored since 1982 by the Department of
English at San Jose State University.

Peter's
Evil Overlord List
"The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord." Or, as
proprietor Peter Anspach writes, "Being an Evil Overlord seems to be a
good career choice. It pays well, there are all sorts of perks and you
can set your own hours. However every Evil Overlord I've read about in
books or seen in movies invariably gets overthrown and destroyed in the
end. I've noticed that no matter whether they are barbarian lords,
deranged wizards, mad scientists or alien invaders, they always seem to
make the same basic mistakes every single time."'
