The time has come to test your mettle, new and prolific authors alike. Come one, come all! FunTrivia's Adventures in Authoring are beginning!

http://www.funtrivia.com/authorthis.cfm

Use this thread to discuss your progress, talk about your quizzes for the game, or ask for help. The Author's Lounge is a wonderful place to both learn and challenge yourself, so if you happen to get stuck, don't panic. It's why we're here!

Remember not to reveal the mysteries of the game-- while everyone's adventures may take them in different directions, the mysteries only have one solution.

Oh, and most importantly, enjoy! FunTrivia wouldn't be what it is without players and writers!

This is all very exciting as I've never written a quiz before. I'm not too sure how to go about it, but when I went to "create new quiz" and to the general section I got this message:

You cannot create quizzes here at this time.

This category is very busy right now. This category is only accepting submissions from players who have created a quiz in another category first.

Am I doing something wrong?

DaisiJ, that should not be a problem. All you need to do is create a quiz in another category, and afterwards you will be able to change categories at any time.

I have just submitted my third quiz of ten questions to the queue :)

DaisJ, this is probably due to the overwhelming amount of quizzes that've been sent to the queue over the past couple of weeks. Tigasrule is right in that having one other quiz online would allow you to submit there; the system just has it so that first-timers can not submit to it for the time being.

This will change, though. We just couldn't say when. It'll most definitely open back up when there are less submissions in the queue.

I've just started my third quiz.

DaisJ, you can make your template in some other category, and write your quiz. By the time you are done, chances are the queue will have opened up and you can change categories and submit. This way, you'll be forced to take your time and check everything, and take my word for it, that is time well spent - it pays off.

Gil_Galad Finally submitted my third quiz. Hopefully I'll be able to get a move on AA next week.

triviaking162 Ahhh! People are already submitting 3! Starting to get major queue anxiety as I'm still on #1 and I started 11 days ago! Small issue brought it back but I really want to move on!

triviaking162 I'm not criticizing the editors, and I know its not a race, but the twitching just doesn't stop! ;)

It's getting there.

I am waiting on the Editors on #1--What is #2 supposed to be?

Can't tell you. ;)

triviaking162 Oh sure, once I show my frustration, it gets on 2 hours later :)

I have a good idea for my second though!

Submitted again-- my quiz was rejected the first time. Not surprised as I rushed it and tried to get out of extra work. This time I put a bit more effort into fixing it.

Oh, and when are the two badgelets awarded?

I've just finished creating my first ever quiz and tried to enter it under the General category (as instructed for brand new writers under Adventures in Authoring) and have also got this:

'You cannot create quizzes here at this time.

This category is very busy right now. This category is only accepting submissions from players who have created a quiz in another category first.'

With so many people entering quizzes I can see why there's a long wait, but I don't seem to have the choice of writing a quiz in another category??
