Title: My Bulwer Lytton submission Post by: Blader on November 28, 2007, 10:01:31 AM I've had intentions for years to join the fun (http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/#To%20inflict), but never seemed to get around to it.

It's so bad, I'm actually liking my chances, especially if nobody else submits this year. I even got an EXTREMELY encouraging response from "the director" I wrote, over my submission, "I've been meaning to do this for years....." And he PROMPTLY wrote back, "It's about time you got around to it."

As he's fond of pointing out, he wrote advertising copy for decades and is highly qualified for this sort of endeavour..

I bought a couple books of their collected entries when I was young and entered the contest once in high school. :)
