2008 Bulwer-Lytton contest winners!

My favorite, I think, is the last runner up for historical fiction, although like so many others, I have absolutely no idea what it actually means:

Carmen's romance with Broderick had thus far been like a train ride, not the kind that slowly leaves the station, builds momentum, and then races across the countryside at breathtaking speed, but rather the one that spends all day moving freight cars around at the local steel mill.
