What do you mean? How could it be rejected if you never submitted it? Can you still see it in your offline quizzes list?

Re: Martinjudo
In regards to the Caron Keating quiz, it looks like it fell victim to the Celebrities category clean-up. One of the editors was shuffling through the untouched quizzes from yesteryear (by this I mean at least a few months ago) and deleted some templates. This doesn't mean you can't make a quiz on it though. As stated in the quiz creation area, writing 'Do Not Delete' in the title or intro will usually stop it from being lost.

Thanks Kyle. It gives me a chance to reread the book and bone up on the info before I recreate the template.

I sure hope they can stand alone. There is a bit of story in each question, but you can answer the questions without reading any of the other questions, so I think they can stand alone. :-)

I have a quiz on cigars already submitted, and one on the Christmas Carol Challenge ready to go.

I'm going to try my hand at a religion quiz again. I have one online, but it didn't get a top 50% rating, so I am still at 19 categories. I really want to get all 20 categories... I really think there should be a 20 categories badge. We have 5, 10, and 15, which is pretty tough... But 20 is certainly a great accomplishment. lol.
Who else has done this?

I have all 20. Stuthehistory guy does too, but I'm not sure about who else.

I am on 16 categories - I haven't got a quiz at all in the remaining 4 categories (animals, literature, movies, humanities).

I'm attempting a quiz in a new category (Religion - somewhere I didn't think I'd place a quiz, but after seeing an Author Challenge, I might just do it), which should hopefully bring my total to 13.

I have 20 and I know skunkee does too. I think someone else may as well, (probably!), but additional names are leaving me by.
I hit 20 categories a couple of years ago after pushing to get the last 5 or 6. I found the experience really freeing -- I'm much more willing to write on a wider range of topics than I was before. It was a great personal challenge, but it can take a lot of time and thought to write well on something unfamiliar.

lol, I mean, I have all 20 categories, but only 19 are in the top 50% and "eligible for the badge". I already have the 3 badges, so it really is no big deal, but I would certainly love to get that 20th. ;-) Bragging rights, you know? lol.
You know, there are 5 or 6 categories that I have written a second quiz in, thinking I would never write another one again. I ended up writing a quiz just to get the category, then wrote more.... This has happened in celebrities, people, geography, movies, music, religion, I have ideas for more literature quizzes, television, world...
Really, there are only 2 categories I can think of that I have only written one quiz in, literature and sci/tech, and I will probably NEVER write another sci/tech one. lol. But I'm going to make a literature series, so that can be crossed off the list.

Oh, and I only have one entertainment and one sports quiz, too. So that is 3 categories I don't plan on exploring again. ;-)

Entertainment is pretty broad, though! You never know, a challenge or Commission quiz might take you back there :p

I have submitted a quiz that, with luck, will get me the 15 badge. But my timing is impeccable, I always pick the queues with longest wait! :)

Entertainment has a good strike rate for ECs too...;)

This is true, the category is broad and the ECs are great, but the odds of me wanting to get into that category are slim to none. If a commission seems entertainment worthy, I'll see what I can do to bring it out. ;-) lol.
I guess, though, I thought the same thing with both people and celebrities, and the commission quizzes brought you Salami and the Jaws of Defeat and Great Blunders Throughout History.... So you never know. ;-)
And I'm about due for another EC, don't you think? lol. 166 quizzes, 1 EC, that is less than 1% of my quizzes. When I hit 200, it only makes sense I should have a second one, since only 1% get the editor's choice. ;-) lol.

It's been submitted. Let's see how many correction notes it takes to get online. ;-)

I have 4 ECs and 920 quizzes. Percentages aren't indicative of thumbs up. ;)
I have four categories I'm afraid to try: Animals, History, Humanities, and Religion.
I could probably pull a Humanities or Animals quiz, but it'd be rough-going.

lol, Kyle. For me, animals and humanities weren't as hard as I had ever thought. With animals, I have 4 quizzes.
With humanities, my second quiz was Words of Incredible Length, when I was just 14, I believe. ;-) lol. Then, quite a time later, came double letter words, first and last letter's the same, w is the second letter, etc... I find the English category to be MUCH easier than theatre, and blabbity blech.

But I would agree about history and religion...
Although, 2 quizzes in each of those categories has to say something. ;-)
