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!

I am not submitting it here at the present time, but will do so near the end of the month if one is still needed, and I haven't reached my limit for submitted quizzes.

I had not intended submitting it here at the present time,
since Daniel has one under way. I can do so near the end of the month if one is still needed, and I haven't reached my limit for submitted quizzes. (I just found it a very convenient way to go for my Adventures in Authoring quiz.)

My Home Ec quiz has already been submitted for "School". I forgot to post there. Will do so now.

I just don't want to count it here b/c I have some other quizzes that I want to count here. I already have three quizzes here, and since I only have three left I want to use them wisely.

Also, like looney_tunes, I want to wait in case it's needed.

Cheers!

Hmmm, two botched posts in a row - my work computer is not being user-friendly today.

Here's my offering. http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/General/Elementary-My-Dear-357051.html It's too late for the quiz named after a badge/badgelet, but maybe, if enough other people are inspired, Terry might be persuaded to use them for a scavenger hunt one day.

This is my World one, I did post when I submitted it to the Queue, but have completely lost track of anything it might count for - Kyle, you get to choose lol, if it's useful for anything, count it in there :-D and if not, well it got me further along the Adventures in Authoring path so it's all good :-D

Okay, I have an offering in the World category. I'm also working on an Author's Challenge quiz, and I hope to have it done by the end of this month.

Here's one on pigs, which may or may not be suitable for this challenge.

Creedy, everything is suitable, since we need at least 70 quizzes that don't meet one of the specific requirements - this one is a nice addition to the pot.

My 'filler quiz' (which ended up taking longer as I kept tweaking the structure) is taking good shape and hopefully will be done tomorrow. Just pondering on the last question still.

Commission XXIII has just ended. Who was the last to submit his/her quiz?

Here is mine for the pot :-)

This satisfies half a requirement:

I love the irony of the title considering it was the absolutely last quiz for the 'A Game' Commission.

Saleo I hope this counts for something.

Buddy1 It does count for something: one of the (approximately) 70 quizzes needed to make it to 120.

Regarding the two "February" quizzes, doesn't the author have to submit it themselves? Otherwise, we could find anyone's quiz and submit it!

I've prodded the author of the one I edited!

I've posted them because both authors have already confirmed that they were writing February quizzes for this challenge. I didn't pick them at random.

It'll be a race to see which one gets theirs here first then!

Can we place bets?
