Does anyone know if Scott Rice at the San Jose State English Department still holds this event? This is the contest where entrants compose and submit the worst opening line to a novel. The contest is named after Bulwer-Lyton, author of The Last Days of Pompeii, and perhaps most known for the vile opening "It was a dark and stormy night..."
