I'm enjoying the Adventures in Authoring Challenge very much and appreciate the nudge. A question came up for me when I accepted a challenge to write a quiz with a title submitted by another player. (I chose "I Didn't Not Do It..." and wrote a People / Explorers quiz.) I wanted to credit the challenger but didn't write down their name. Is there a way I can find the name and edit the conclusion of my quiz to give them credit?

if you go to the Challenges page where you got the title you will see options at the top three options .... Unclaimed, Claimed and On Line. Yours should now be in the online section.

Yours was issued by superfan123

My newest challenge is going to give me a hard time. So much for trying to go fast in AA.

People usually don't credit people who issued Author Challenges; usually just Commissions. But if you really want to find out who issued it, go to the Claimed tab and scroll to when you claimed it, it will say: "I Didn't Not Do It: nannywoo accepted superfan123's challenge".

When I did a Authors Challenge quiz, I credited the person, since it is someone else's title. Not to mention it is interesting if someone happens to stumble across one of those quizzes. Also, for me, I'd be curious to know how many of my quiz titles have had a quiz written about it.

Also, I don't see the difference between a quiz authored from the Author Challenges and the Commissions, so I'd think if I would credit the author for one, I'd credit the author for both.

As an editor, I like to see credit given. I'm not going to keep a quiz offline if it's missing, but it's one of the things that makes me think "Oh, good author".

For author's challenges, one can give credit immediately.

For commissions though, we only read who gave us the title after our quiz is on line. So some of the early adapters won't see who we thank our title to.

I think it's only right to credit the person who inspired you with a title. That reminds me I need to edit the conclusion to my last commission quiz to blame, er, thank, superfan for thinking up a real tester.

Congratulations to Kyle, who has the first badgelet for Adventures.

Pssh...I don't count.

The first actual badgelet will be going to Buddy1, Tazman6619, Rossian, or Salami.

Now people can be assured there is a way to get the thing. ;)

I got sidetracked with another quiz which didn't fit, so it's not likely to be me.

Why is it that whenever I decide to write a literature quiz the book or books in question disappear without trace?
How many times have I posted "I lost the thingy" now? It's happened AGAIN! The book I decided to do for my next Adventures quiz is hiding from me - I know it's here somewhere lol, and I will track it down, probably just after I give up all hope of finding it and start on a different quiz!

I abandoned my AinA for the moment and picked another category. And I submitted it today. So hopefully I can get back on track. I can't believe how fast November has gone!!!
