And now for something completely different...
Something unusual that falls into the category of "writing contests", but definitely not in the mainstream.

The Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest is definitely a bit different: it is a bad writing contest. Yep. You heard me. The challenge is to produce the worst piece of fiction possible, in the form of an opening paragraph to a story (thankfully you don't have to write the whole story!).

Always worth a laugh to see how badly you can torture prose.

hehe...i took a shot at that contest. It was pretty fun, but you're right; it's not very easy to intentionally come up with something bad.
