All right, scribes. It's time once again for the annual Bad Writing Contest winners: www.sjsu.edu/faculty/scott.rice/blfc2008.htmI was going to suggest doing something like this in Sloan, but then I kind of realized that we already do.  |

I was a runner up a few years back. The funny thing is I've had this on my resume ever since and in the 10 or 20 interviews I've given no one has ever asked me about it. Not many people are familiar with it I guess.

Those are classics. I'd love to enter something like this.

In the late 60s, there was a book published called Naked Came The Stranger.
Every chapter was written by a different author. BUT under no account was good taste going to be accepted. It was hysterically trashy, and very funny.

I'd like to see that. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be in the library system.

Alex Hall, the winner for Fantasy Fiction is the master for this one:
"Toads of glory, slugs of joy," sang Groin the dwarf as he trotted jovially down the path before a great dragon ate him because the author knew that this story was a train wreck after he typed the first few words.

I dunno, I kinda liked the completely random entry:
Watching Felicia walk into the bar was like watching two fat Rottweilers in yellow spandex and spike heels that had treed a scrawny bleach blond cat at the top of a skinny flagpole that for some reason had decided to sprout casaba melons.
