Subject: A to Z Through the Categories - COMPLETE
Date: Mar 17 12

For this challenge we'll be going from A to Z; twenty-six quizzes will be written. We'll have to work together though.

"Well what do you mean, Kyle?"
What I mean is that a ten question quiz will need to be written for each letter of the alphabet. For example, the A quiz could be about 'A Things in Animals', B could be 'B Celebrities of the World', R could have 'Resounding R Things' in Music, etc. Questions/answers should be themed around something different to do with that selected letter. By this, I mean that the selected letter (not the topic itself) should appear in either every question or every answer in some way. An 'R' quiz in Music should feature several 'R' things in Music.

We need to hit all twenty categories and no one can double up on subcategories.

This may not be used in conjunction with any other challenge here in the Lounge; you may, however, use an Author's Challenge title if you please.

    Since you have stated that we need to hit all 20 categories before we finish, there will quite possibly come a time when the remaining letters have only a few categories for which they can be written. It might be a helpful spur towards getting authors to volunteer if they caould see a list of categories yet to get a quiz - they might feel an urge to either jump in to avoid being forced there, or jump in to grab one of them so a favlorite subcategory can be used.

    There's a reason why I write all my quizzes in Word before transferring them to the template - I am a lousy typist!

    Just a quick re-cap ...

    Categories that have no quizzes or have not yet been claimed:
    For Children
    Hobbies
    Music (surprising)
    Religion
    Television

    Categories where two quizzes have already been writtem:
    Brain Teasers
    Geography
    Two people have claimed the People category (Playmate and Reedy) though quizzes not yet submitted

    Unknown categories for claimed letters
    G ... GuitarG
    R ... Zorba
    S ... Darksplash


    Kyle ... (a) Christinap's Humanities quiz (page 3) is not recorded on the list above
    (b) Reply 41 Tazman claimed "P" for Entertainment ...


    Hope I've got those right and hope it helps

    I backed out on P Entertainment and switched to M Humanities but then did it wrong anyway lol. I have no claims at present.

    zorba_scank Mine will be a repeat category too. I had started writing a Sci/Tech quiz but didn't realise we had to post the category here.

    triviaking162 N is For Children.

    Actually, I am X.
    I will start it hopefully, with the intent of it going into Thematic Fun. I am told that the preceding sentence is proper grammar, while the following is not: hopefully it will go into Thematic Fun.
    Or it the other way about?

    Thanks for the list, Poll; just been super busy the past few days.

    Christinap's quiz did not meet the requirements for the challenge and the letter was freed up.

    Oh... I was aiming for People with mine. I might toss the letter back if one of the People quizzes goes to the subcategory I was looking at. Ok to wait and see?

    No worries Kyle ... I know exactly where you're coming from.


    As for Christi's quiz ... thought that might be the case ... was just making sure I covered all bases

    I can do P for children if there are no takers :)

    For Children category has been used, it will be a duplicate.

    looney_tunes

    Categories can be duplicated (and must be, since there are only 20 categories) - the requirement is that they be in different subcategories.

    Will this one count for the letter V?

    Reply #116. Apr 05 12, 12:01 AM

    looney_tunes

    Kyle will rule on it, of course, but I would have thought that the actual questions, not just the title, had to have a V focus. That is part of why I am waiting for inspiration about a letter-themed quiz in one of the unused categories to strike.

    If I write an M quiz, and it meets the guidelines for this challenge, does that mean I could NOT later add it to the Bus Ride? I've got an idea for an M quiz, but might want to add it to the Bus Ride if it has to be one or the other. If it could be originally written for this challenge, but then later added to the Bus Ride, I will submit it here. If not, M is still up for grabs.

    Could I do either K or T for Hobbies, please?

    Reply #119. Apr 06 12, 12:14 AM

    looney_tunes

    I will do M in Religion. The other M quiz will just go for the Bus Ride.
