Subject: February Author Pot Luck
Date: Jan 31 13

You're invited!

The Quiz Author Lounge is having a Pot Luck and all you need to do to join in the festivities is bring a quiz. Any quiz. Really.

To be honest, there is a list of things we definitely need to make this a success, but most importantly, we need to have 120 quizzes in this month. That could be four quizzes for thirty authors or five for twenty-four (or any variation). A quiz a week.

All you need to do is write and submit the quiz. If it gets online in February (until, perhaps, the end of the 4th of March) it will be added to the Pot Luck's goal. The great thing is, even if you're a first-time author, you can bring a quiz and it will count to the collective total!

But where's the challenge in this? Some of our more prolific authors may be thinking '120? Piece of cake.' Well, in addition to needing to post 120 quizzes, a total of 50 requirements will need to be met; all of this will be a collective goal. Some will be as basic as completing a quiz in each category by the month's end; some will require more difficult criteria. These criteria can stack up, so if we need a quiz about cats, you can make it count for both that cats requirement and the specific category requirement.

Keep in mind that while fifty requirements must be met collectively, that means seventy quizzes (or more) could be about anything. Further, all of these quizzes can count towards your Pan-Galactics. ;)

Authors will be able to submit a maximum of six quizzes. This will ensure that we don't have just five people writing twenty-four quizzes each this month; we want the Pot Luck to be a success for more than five people! When the quiz is online, post it in here for it to count. The results will all be listed at the end of the month.

The requirements list will be posted tomorrow when the doors to the Lounge's temporary banquet hall open. I've still got some cleaning up to do. Until then, think of the possibilities! Remember: even one quiz will help everyone in the long run!

Enjoy, and have fun!

Yeah, waiting together is fun, we can order pizza and have a little fun! :) I have a sneaking suspicion that Salami's quiz will go on line before mine, considering his has been there a while too. No matter what, we know there are going to be a few hobbies quizzes to savor soon. :)

Daneel--possible fodder in "shadow" and groundhog, or Phil, or whistle-pig.

Spring, or chucking wood.

I never did understand the whole seeing his shadow thing and how that relates to more winter.

Or name your groundhog "Chuck"

Play with fear of shadow, mere shadow, dark shadow--

I usually start creating first and then do the title.

Woodchucks are gentle and environmentally useful animals. I looked outside one day and saw one curled up sleeping not 3 feet from my cat. AND, they eat poison ivy leaves.

Can't wait to see what you do.

One of my Pot Luck quizzes went offline, because I fiddled with the conclusion and made it too long. I'm a little concerned now because it's been a couple of days now, and it hasn't gone back online.

I also have two other quizzes in the Q waiting. (One was just submitted today, but the other was submitted 5 days ago).

It's only been a couiple of days, gracious1. Anything under a week is not remarkable for most categories, and sometimes there are reasons why it takes longer that have nothing to do with your quiz, just life.

I have submitted a quiz on amethysts...I admit to being in a purple haze for a few days:)

Next question - how are we going to get a first-time author to post here? Most, if not all, would be totally unaware of the Lounge. We need some teamwork here.

I'll say something on my team. Wish me luck.

I have a team member who is working with an editor on her first quiz. I'll ask her to post here.

Excellent! I was going to keep an eye out for any new authors in "World", and show them the way here, but hadn't seen a possible candidate yet.

I've submitted something which might be acceptable to that pernickity meter. Only time will tell.

Reply #195. Feb 08 13, 12:50 PM

kyleisalive

Let it know! ;)
There's been at least a couple of quizzes which could've worked for it, but no one bothered to let the poor, hungry meter know what to look out for.

Oh I will, Kyle, but I've only just submitted it. Expect to wait a few days before I try to feed the beast.

I've submitted one of the two I've been working on, they're both heading to Entertainment, but it's the other one that was the author's challenge when I looked.
This one has the second coolest title I've ever written though :-D
