Posted by: kyleisalive

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!

The old reply to thread function was removed because it got to the point where people weren't even reading the announcements and assuming, by default, that they were somehow being wronged or forgotten or insulted or abused or cheated out of something in some manner.

You know, it's probably not right that I posted something and then took it back. So let's count it please.

So that makes 5.

Here's the link again to make it official:

One left (unless the pot fills up). What is everyone else's status?

Cellardoor: I imagine you stress the very thoughts that were behind creating the holiday; and also it is simply a special time set aside to celebrate and remember the contributions of Black Americans, since they were left entirely out of history, in many cases.

I bet Morgan Freeman is sensitive about it because why should he be called a "Black" actor first and foremost.

I look forward to taking your quiz. :) AND thanks for filling the requirement!

My quiz on "Heavy Metals" is in the queue. It won't count towards black history nor towards the potluck quiz, though.

suomy ... and one in the queue from me: "Kicked Out?!" - an Author Challenge from Kyle so one potentially for the pot.

120 is looking realistic! I have several that I can submit for my final one, just waiting to decide which. It looks as if all specific requirements other than sunnies have been met, when everyone posts here, and it's too late in the month to do much about them. Here's hoping that in a few hours we will see at least four different people announcing that one of their previously-submitted quizzes has received sunnies. :)

«Four quizzes which receive Sunnies before the Pot Luck ends»

Does this mean four quizzes previously submitted for inclusion in the Pot Luck?

One quiz that I wrote for Pot Luck got a Sunny:

Alas, no sunnies for me for the Pot Luck. :( Red Sky won't get them, Wounded Knee will but not until about mid-March.

My Pot Luck quiz that went up on February 1 has a sunnie. http://www.funtrivia.com/quizdetails.cfm?quiz=356828

One on Shakespeare's "2 Henry IV" went up on 2/10, but so far only 17 people have rated it. It's one of the plays in BBC's "The Hollow Crown" - a wonderful performance. (I'll confess to watching it on You Tube, since it won't be on television here until the fall.)

My next one didn't go up until 2/16 - wondering if that will be too late?

I also have a Pot Luck quiz with sunglasses:

I think we may already have hit 4! That's fantastic.

Looks like we met the sunnies quota! Mine apparently won't be ranked until next Monday.

Re: "Kyle, a question: What happens if we hit 120 quizzes before the end of the challenge? Will any extra quizzes still count?"

Well, the total will be met, but people can keep bringing more to the party. Just means we'll have leftovers.

Don't know if this can count, religion category: http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Religion/Thus-Spake-Zarathustra-356623.html"

It counts!

Only five quizzes to go. Since all requirements are met, they can be about anything.

Since all the requirements are met, here's my sixth ad final offering.
