Just out of curiosity, what are your quiz writing stats? Most written in category? Least written in category? I'll send mine in the first post.

I found this thread that was long forgotten.

Now that I'm proudly sitting upon 100 quizzes (and getting ready to write more), I'll give you an overview.

Animals 2 (2 sunnies)
Brain Teasers 1
Celebrities 2 (2 sunnies)
Entertainment 1 (1 sunny)
For Children 1 (1 sunny)
General Knowledge 6 (2 sunnies)
Geography 3 (2 sunnies, 1 not yet rated)
History 22 (10 sunnies)
Hobbies 2 (1 sunny, 1 not yet rated)
Humanities 14 (11 sunnies)
Literature 2 (2 sunnies)
Movies 3 (2 sunnies)
Music 9 (2 Editor's choices, 6 sunnies, 1 not yet rated)
People 5 (1 EC, 3 sunnies)
Religion 14 (8 sunnies, 1 not yet rated)
Sci Tech 2 (1 sunny)
Sports 4 (2 sunnies)
Television 2 (1 not yet rated)
Video Games 0
World 2 (2 sunnies).

Four out of the five not yet rated quizzes will get a ranking within three weeks, and might prove to be sunnies.

I have yet to enter the world(s) of Animals, Celebrities, Literature, Movies, Religion, and Video Games.

One of my quizzes went online in World, but I found it was changed to Geography as I was compiling this list. It counts as Geography in this list.

Don't worry, Row, I'll compile your list sometime later today. :P

Let's see...

7 Video Games (All New)
5 For Children (4 New)
1 Music (New)
1 Brain Teasers

The other For Children was an Animorphs quiz from two years ago. Ignore it. And the Brain Teasers quiz... spoonerisms. But don't you think the harder a quiz is, the lower ratings it gets? Kinda noticed that, especially with brain teasers.

You are probably writing in categories where players do have an emotional reaction to a low score. In some, such as History, Geography, Humanities and Literature, many players are interested in learning something new from playing the quiz (which is why the editors expect more than a brief sentence of extra information), and even quite difficult quizzes can get very nice ratings if they are well written.

Wait... whoops! I forgot a Humanities quiz!

Two threads for this? I must admit that I am not at all surprised to see that I have not written a Video Game quiz, and somewhat surprised to see that I haven't written an Animals quiz. Both of those will have to be addressed in November!

As I said on the other thread, I have a long way to go compared to most of the really experienced authors here, but this is what I've got so far:

Animals 0
Brain Teasers 2
Celebrities 4
Entertainment 3
For Children 2
General 3
Geography 2
History 2
Hobbies 1
Humanities 2
Literature 5
Movies 3
Music 2
People 2
Religion 1
Sci/Tech 1
Sports 1
TV 2
Video Games 0
World 4

Top 10: None (yet).

Thumbs Up: None (yet).

Sunnies: 16 at last count

Author Challenges Completed: 15 (and one more claimed but not yet started)

Lounge Activities: 28 (includes the Great Race and the Sprint Quizzes)

And just so it is worth looking at both threads, I'll include my accepted independent questions here too:

Qs Authored: 56 (5 pending review, 1 not yet in the new Q game for rating)

Those in the "Magic" Range (60-95% correct / rated good): 25

"somewhat surprised to see that I haven't written an Animals quiz"

That's the reason why I have to for our Sprint leg... :-P

...which is coming.

Yes, it was Kyle's evil last leg. You hadn't done VG or Animals, but I'd done VG. That left Animals. I guess it's better than a Whodunnit...
