May I introduce you to the Bulwer-Lytton fiction contest? It is a contest to write the worst opening paragraph of what would be an awful novel. https://www.bulwer-lytton.com/
It was named after the penner of this famously bad opening paragraph.
"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."
