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 have just noticed that I am maxed out. Does that mean I can sit back, relax, and stuff my face with chocolate?

gracious1 thanks for all those quizzes to move things along!

My thoughts go with you, Jan, and I'll be sure to take your dedication quiz. That was a loving thing to do.

Thanks looneytunes for the explanation of the explanation. :) Sounds like inner workings of great minds, way over my head.

Hiyori Here's another one for the pot http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/ForChildren/Dont-Even-Think-About-It-357351.html

Hiyori The quiz "Dont even think about it" is part of the Commission XXV - which makes it a quiz competing for a major challenge right?

Plodd, there is no rest for the wicked! You cannot cpontribute any more to this challenge (unless Kyle loosens the rules near the end to help get it over the line), but there are lots of other challenges to work on. Have you ever read or watched Henry VI Part I?

Hiyori, the requirement is a quiz completing a major challenge, not just being part of it. But your quiz is a welcome addition to the pot!

Here is another one for the pot, it was to be one of the team quizzes, but we were beaten to that.

Okay, I'm inspired by all your hard work, and the need to move that "98" to 120 quizzes. Though we are closing in fast it seems!

5 questions just now done, on an author challenge quiz I've let go for too (too) long.

If done and accepted it will go in the "general stuff" pile here--like my previous one. But also work for author challenge and the author journey. Hurrah.

Call it garlic mashed potatoes. I like bringing those to Pot Luck. And chocolate.

Reply #376. Feb 21 13, 9:25 PM

kyleisalive

I could go for both (not together though).

Also, Zebra, I want to read that book so badly. Might pick it up from work tomorrow and add it to the pile. :)

Reply #377. Feb 21 13, 9:30 PM

zebra101 It's such an amazing book! :)

I agree. "Cloud Atlas" is an amazing book.

Kyle, does a quiz for Black History have to be written for the History category, or would a quiz about the accomplishments of African Americans, in the people category, meet the challenge's needs? The same applies to Celebrities, of course, but that wouldn't be coming from me!

And another tack, what about a survey of the contributions of African American actors in Movies?

Just tossing ideas around in my head, here. I've seen two nice quizzes online in Black History this month, but they haven't been posted here, and we only have a week left to cover all bases. With only one quiz left, I'd prefer to use whatever time I have addressing one of the incomplete tasks than just writing a random quiz. Of course, if someone else completes them, I have a couple that can be thrown into the pot, anyway!
