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!

Mine is author's challenge and People.

I will also take one of the February ones--groundhogs or valentine's or Black history--since I helped impose those on us. Has anyone claimed one of those?

When you say 'existing', does that include the retired challenges?

Reply #43. Feb 01 13, 7:21 PM

kyleisalive

If the challenges are retired there won't be quizzes to write for them. ;)

Sorry, for badges and badgelets.

Bit confused-- what do you mean?

The Best in Class and Amazing Race badge and badgelet are retired-- Can I still write a quiz for one that will count for the Potluck?

Reply #47. Feb 01 13, 7:32 PM

kyleisalive

Yes-- misunderstood that one.
If you want to write a quiz titled 'Best in Class' or 'Amazing Race', by all means. Anything from the list as long as it's on the list.

Here it is anyway Kyle, so you can count it to Author Challenge title or General, or however you like for this Pot Luck :-D

Excellent.

You don't know the power you can harness in a quiz. ;)
Let that be a tip to all of you.

It was made from the very first Author Challenge title I ever submitted. Lots of Llamas for a panda quiz :)

Would a quiz written in January but published in February count?

Reply #53. Feb 02 13, 10:49 AM

kyleisalive

Yes.

Reply #54. Feb 02 13, 10:52 AM

Buddy1 JanIQ: that's what I asked.

Reply #55. Feb 02 13, 11:04 AM

kyleisalive

Sort of; a bit of variation, but same answer.

Any quiz placed online in February of this year, during the Pot Luck, will count. Doesn't matter when it was written.

I am working on a quiz in hobbies--do you need to be the first or can there be more than one in each category?

Reply #57. Feb 02 13, 11:27 AM

kyleisalive

Only the first one will will knock the required Hobbies quiz off the list, but any more which go online during the month will still count towards the big total.

Every entry will count. :)

Reply #58. Feb 02 13, 11:30 AM

Buddy1 Actually, what happened is JanIQ's question is what I intended to ask but I think my question came out differently than intended.

Reply #59. Feb 02 13, 12:48 PM

kyleisalive

Ah! Well, it all came out in the end. ;)
