Subject: Commission XXV! - COMPLETE
Date: Nov 09 12

Welcome to Commission XXV!

Say WHAT?! Twenty-five Commissions?! Pretty much. We've been going on long enough to get to this number, which is kind of amazing.

Let's keep it simple this time-- each player must send in a title which is an exclamation. In other words, your title should be something that ends with an exclamation mark. It's as simple as that!

Of course, this could provide for some pretty uninspired titles; I would recommend not sending something like "My Favourite Books!" or "Full House Episode 23!" as they're not too imaginative. What about something like "Get Off of There, You Kook!" or "Please Help Santa!"? A bit crazy is fine-- just don't go attaching an exclamation mark to anything. ;)

For our first-timers, you send me the title (to my inbox) and you will receive a title, at random, from another participant. You will complete their title. Any player who inevitably receives a title may submit it to any category they choose.

As always, you may only sign up if you already have a couple quizzes already online. If it's your first time joining a Commission, please don't hesitate to ask questions; myself and our authors are glad to help. The submitted titles should be sent directly sent to me (kyleisalive) via PM. Remember: if it's your first time, you get the fancy badgelet for completing a Commission.

In addition, if you have an active Commission quiz and you wish to join this one, you will need to complete it or speak to me via PM. We have three other Commissions still in progress; these are priority.

All participants must have their titles sent in (to me) by Monday night FST (November 12). Titles will be handed out soon after; the deadline will be 11:59pm FST.

This is also a good opportunity to get some questions in for your quiz-writing month totals! Who knows, maybe you can use yours for your adventures in authoring! ;)

Good luck!

What you're in for is trepidatious anticipation, a moment of fear as you read your title and have absolutely no idea what you could possibly write, a Eureka moment when a viableidea arrives, followed by a growing sense that you can do it, and a wonderful sense of satisfaction when you get it done. This process may involve one or more of the crucial quiz-writing ingredients of coffee, chocolate and alcohol.

our local brewery is currently making an excellent coffee flavoured stout ..... I get to kill two birds with one stone

I'll give a warm welcome to our four new adventurers in a commission.

Gracious1, don't forget to send me the title you wish to submit for the Commission (via the mail system).

You'll end up sending a title to fit the requirements and you'll get a new one back to complete. :)

My title has been sent, and I am getting excited.

Monday night, right? So I can sign up on Monday? I still have to finish the Bob quiz. Could I finish writing it but not submit it because of another quiz and still sign up for this? If so, I'll finish the quiz tomorrow and email you the title.

Buddy1 I have a couple questions as someone who has never done this before.
If, for some reason, I can't write/complete the quiz from the title I've been given, I believe I can just not write the quiz. Is that true? If so, what happens to the title I've been given?
Also, to get the Quiz Commission mini-badge, do I just write the quiz (and have it placed on-line) or is there something else I need to do?

If you cannot write the quiz you can give the title back and another author will step up to take it. Once the quiz goes online the minibadge is awarded I believe.

Superfan-- you can send me the title regardless of what you have in progress; it just has to be before the deadline.

The badgelet is sent when the quiz goes online. We try to avoid dropouts at any costs, but if the quiz is dragging for months and months without progress then it will be handed back.

A word of advice to first-timers - don't panic when you see your title. (And don't ask Rossian about commission titles, or you will hear unintelligible splutterings about sheep and catapults.) I received a title in one commission that took me over a week to find any possible way that I could see to use it,and a lot longer to work it into a quiz. Let it percolate, and write something else while you wait for inspiration, if necessary. You can do it, and it feels great!

Good luck to all the new participants. It's always nerve wracking to have to write to a title you've never seen, even for those of us who have done it before. My first reaction is still blind panic when I see what I've been given, but time usually solves that. There's no rush to do the quiz the day/week/month you get your title. Kyle only starts chasing if the wait turns to months.

Aaargh! The sheep, the sheep. I still have nightmares about that title. I'm not one to point the finger, but we all know to blame Eb*rge. Yes, it took me a long time to come up with a viable quiz, but I got there and it has sunnies, so an unpromising beginning led to a satisfactory conclusion. Imagination and lateral thinking can be useful, but not always necessary.

All those people! and at least FIVE newcomers :-D Welcome to you all - come join us in the tearing of hair, gnashing of teeth, namecalling of the senders of "impossible" titles :-D and that wonderful feeling of triumph and YES! that comes when the quiz is finally submitted :-D

Followed by the twitching, pacing and compulsive chocolate eating while you wait for it to go on line!

Good luck to all the newcomers, hope you enjoy your first commission.
