I think it was named after whoever penned "it was a dark and stormy night". But for the life of me I can't remember.
What's the name of the competition for the worst opening sentence in a novel?
Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest
They have this contest every year in honor of the 1830 novel, 'Paul Clifford' by Edward George Bulwer-Lytton, widely held to contain the worst opening sentence of any novel in the English language. Here is some more information on it if that will help you. (great question) :)
Reply:Here's the official site of the contest if you like.
They've got the 2005 results up.
