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!

Maybe the questions won't be so long, but they take quite a bit of time to write. I'll have it done it two or three days, maybe.

My quiz has been submitted, so hopefully I can beat Rossian, and catch up to Kyle. ;)

Catching Kyle? Unlikely, I'd have thought. Beating me? We'll have to wait and see.....

You're not far behind me.

I was right there a few days ago, but reached your level as I was heading out the door for a long weekend. So I didnt write anything. So I know you can't be too far. :P

Rossian is the fourth FT Agent (or third if you ignore Kyle and don't we all pretty much? :P), congrats.

Thanks, Taz. I think I just broke Salami's heart!

salami_swami

Yep. I wanted to beat ya there. ;)

Of course, I wanted to beat Kyle there, too, but I was so busy last weekend that I went like, four days without writing the next quiz I needed. :P


Soon. And then I'll write a million quizzes in a day and jump ahead. :D

As a note, Ralzzz picked up the first EC for the AA game during his fourth task. :)

My goal is to see an EC in every task over time.

AA wants me to write a quiz based on an Author Challenge. I have reached another impasse, so I would like to do a different Author Challenge. But if I "abandon' it, does my quiz disappear from the editing thingie. I have several questions and wouldn't want to lose them all

Nope-- I answered this question in greater detail in the forums. ;)

1st general/alphabetics quiz has been in the Q a few days now, and the 2nd part's been ready to go, plus 2 more finished and 2 others I'm putting the final touches on. My eyes are tired.

Wait, does that mean if you abandon a challenge, if you accept it again and complete it later, it won't count?

Reply #253. Nov 29 12, 7:49 PM

superfan123

Or are you just talking about the old quiz from when you first accepted it?

My next quiz is called "The Right Music (1981)". It is ready to be checked for an "Adventures in Authoring" quiz qualification. Thank you Editors for all the work you do!

MyGirl - it's best not to post details of the actual challenge. Other players may try to work out what they might be asked to do by playing other quizzes, but don't give the game away completely.

Yup-- this isn't the first time I've had to edit out the post. Please keep in mind that the game is a challenge and the best way to preserve it as such is by avoiding spoilers. While not everyone will have to write the same quiz, some will be doing so at a distinct advantage if we note the criteria along the way.

Well, from that title and my experience, I can tell what the requirement was... But better not spoil it for those who don't!

I'm still on the very first writing task. Yesssssssssss. Just the II left, though. It's tantalisingly close to submission.

I would have known what it was, too, even if I hadn't seen the whole of the original post. There are more people yet to reach that stage than have passed it, though. I, for one, would not have liked to have known what was next in my own particular journey.
