Subject: Editor's Choice Nominations
Date: Jul 09 09

Have you stumbled upon a quiz that was SO GOOD that you were amazed it wasn't an Editor's Choice?

Feel free to post suggestions of quizzes that you believe are uniquely creative, imaginative, interesting, fantastic and deserving of Editor's Choice designation.

There is NO guarantee that ANY of the quizzes posted here will receive such a designation, but we will periodically check some of these nominations out to make sure that nothing truly special slipped through the cracks.

Note that an Editor's Choice is exceptionally difficult to earn one of these designations, and that we have many thousands of well crafted, well researched quizzes that will never earn this designation.

Please post only those very few quizzes that are truly exceptional.

To try to reduce conflicts of interest and a massive list of quizzes from friends, please do NOT post quizzes from team members or people on your friends list.



Please feel free to leave feedback for the site administrators. We will take all feedback into account as we tweak and add new features.
The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

"Actually, my one EC was a somewhat 'throwaway' quiz that I wrote on impulse one afternoon. I still don't think it's one of my best, and it's certainly not the most popular. But I'm not arguing!"

Ditto. That's the way of the world, though. 75% of the poems I've published have been like that. Typically, a journal will ask for five poems. I'll submit four that I worked on, workshopped, revised, and honed.

Then I'll thow in something I dashed off if 15 minutes for the girl at the next table (past tense; in a relationship now).

Guess which one the editors like?

This is one of the best bleeping quizzes I've ever taken.

Editor's choice quizzes always tend to astound me. I always wonder how quizzes catch an editor's eye - plenty of excellent ones out there that never ger noticed. So, just to ask: what exactly, other than the lack of flaws you usually see in quizzes, initially captures an editor's eye?

Now for that Klavier, you would have to ask every editor what it was. That's the whole point, it is the Editor's Choice. Totally personal and utterly arbitrary, and only they know what it is about a particular quiz that they liked.

It really does vary from editor to editor.

For me, the quiz needs to take a great approach, be chock full of info, and it shouldn't have any problems getting online (error-wise). While the site says the top 5% (or 1%) or whatever will get chosen, in reality it's less than that.

There are great quizzes out there, I'm sure, but it's all in the eye of the beholder.

I just love this one and would like to nominate it:

I admit to playing it more than once even though there is no further score, just because it is so original, funny, clever and creative, a true FT gem! In my opinion if any quiz deserves a thumbs up it's this one - truly hilarious.

I liked this one from Dopple44 http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/World/London-Underground-Costume-Party-320007.html

Inventive and the questions were funny without being too wordy.

I would please like to nominate doublemn's quiz "Did She Fall Or Was She Pushed?"

Not only does it teach about wild animals but it challenges the quiz taker with a detective story that needs to be solved.
