2003 Results of the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest

Bad writing done well. Hint: There's a specific category for stories that start with, "It was a dark and stormy night."

My favorite, from the "Vile Pun" section:

Sarah felt bored and unsatisfied, even though her job as a nurse's aide included helping patients and keeping track of the billiards equipment in the recreation room at the Venereal Disease Treatment Center, and she wondered what her mother had been thinking all those years when she repeatedly told her that a young lady should mind herpes and cues.
