Topic: - FT Sprint: Wesley's Clue Thread -

Posted by: WesleyCrusher

Subject: - FT Sprint: Wesley's Clue Thread -
Date: Apr 11 12

Hello to all sprinters,

this thread will be used for the "W" clue set for the FunTrivia sprint. Each of the clues will be posted at some time during the release date (as early as possible) and then a post will be made in the game's main thread to inform you about the new clue.

IMPORTANT: Once each new clue has been posted, clicking on this thread WILL start your timer for the round. Thus, once the game starts, do not come here until you are ready to start writing for the week! (If in doubt, check the main thread first to see if the clue has already been released.)

POSTING RULES: Since this is the best, "safe" place to do so, you can ask any questions you may have about the clues here; thus, the thread will not be closed. However, please make sure you only post questions pertaining to the currently active clue - any discussions on past clues or general aspects of writing for the Sprint that do not spoil the clue for those who have not seen it yet should go in the game's main thread. Please do not send clue clarification questions by PM - any clarification request should be made in the open and the answer will benefit all players.

And now - have fun with the Sprint!



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.

No kidding, Kyle! That's awesome, Tiffany. I wish I had that dedication. :P

You should read Twilight, and write a quiz about it. Just kidding. Please no.

Out of curiosity, what did you choose?

If everyone who could were to choose this topic, we'd cover and improve 14 main categories. Only Animals, History, Hobbies, People, Religion and World would not get any love. Neat spread :)

Wow, that's impressive. Awesome idea for a clue, Wes.

It's called "The Cross" and it's about vampires :), but real ones, not sparkly ones. It's the second book in the "Vampire Federation" series by Sean McCabe. I had to find a book that would go in the Literature: M authors subcategory and he didn't have his own subcategory, so I picked it. It's good so far...who doesn't love a good vampire novel?

Oh, yeah, that's the tricky part, isn't it? Finding an author that doesn't have their own subcategory. I would not have thought about that.

Well done, Tiffany. Can't wait to see it online. Read quickly. ;)

As is mine. I had a similar problem as Tiffanyram - except that I had to do the Music artists subcategory M.

New best time for me! And I did a "Challenge" title but I don't qualify for the boost. I just want to hit my tenth Author Challenge during the Sprint if I possibly can. Haven't won a badge in so long... getting badge withdrawal over here.

I couldn't do a challenge title as I already have one in the queue for a straight Author Challenge

Wow! Trooper. :P

Well, I think that gives me about a fourteen hour submission time for this one. You know, Kyle, we've been so close in the standings and after that last leg I had finally pulled ahead by a few hours. I was secretly hoping to maintain that lead. :P Now it looks like I'll be a good 8 or 9 hours behind lol

You never know what future clues will bring; I could be struck with a 24-hour quiz. ;)

True :)

Even with the ~14 hours for this task, Task 2 took me the longest. I'm hoping to keep it that way, too!

I was in the same boat as Tiff, having to find an author. I didn't want to do another book by the same author, since nobody but me reads them lol, judging by the plays and scores on the original quiz. It needed to be a book or books I have here in the house too. I managed to find one that I am now praying won't get moved anywhere else - I had a couple I could have done but they ran the risk of being moved to "books for kids" so I stuck with an adult series and am hoping for the best... fingers crossed :-D

Good luck, Row! I went out and bought one because I had either already written quizzes on the books I had by an author whose last name started with the same letter or the authors had their own subcategory.

A lot of my literature quizzes don't get a lot of plays or don't do as well as they could because apparently not a lot of people read the same books I do.

I have a terrible knack for mis reading the clues. I created a new quiz based on my lowest ranked quiz in super quick time, only to find the sub-category is closed to new submissions. I had to go for my second worst quiz instead. I am such a wally!

Anyways, all done, dusted and submitted :)
