Topic: February Author Pot Luck

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!

This one scratches off World, and it's also a Commission title:

My quiz "Unusual Habits" went up on February 1 in the History category. The title came from suomy in the player/author challenge list. Can it count as one of those? http://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/History/Unusual-Habits-356828.html

OO Looking at the lovely ratings so far, I have hopes that the Pandas will make it to be one of the ones that gets sunnies :-D Everyone has been very nice about it so far and it has well over the 20 already, so it's just a matter of waiting (impatiently lol) for the three weeks to pass...

I've started one for a badge/badgelet title, in VGs.

oh poo. I didn't see that 8 minutes before me Kyle also announced a challenge and people quiz he is thinking to do.

So I'll do something else.

Yours will still count towards the full total (which may be more important considering we're only to to 3/120). ;)

Many of my quizzes for this month will have a title of a badge or badgelet for the fun of it. Anyone care to join me?

Submitted my Sci quiz. It'll be an A in A, Author's Challenge and Pot Luck quiz. It's my first Sci/Tech quiz so it feels like I've written three quizzes!

I didn't think we were supposed to trying to kill multiple requirements at once. I mean, each quiz submitted here is supposed to just fulfill one requirement, and if it hits more than one, you pick the one you want it to, right?

Otherwise, I think that some people would go crazy and try to hit all these multiple requirements, which takes away opportunity from other people to contribute.

You can write quizzes for multiple requirements. This is what I meant when I said that we'll likely have over seventy quizzes which don't need to meet any requirements at all.

That's the beauty of this challenge, and I think people will realize it more as the month goes on (and people sit in the queues); part of contributing sometimes means just writing a quiz. Even if it's not for a listed requirement, we need quizzes to fill the 120.

Do the sunnies quizzes need to go online during February, or just get their sunnies during February? It's a short month, so only quizzes that are online within about the next 24 hours are going to possibly meet that requirement, given the time delay before sunnies are awarded.

This can go under For Children.

The sunnies need to be on the quiz before the Pot Luck is over.

I've extended the date from the 3rd of March to the 4th (a Monday).

I don't quite understand this. If I write a quiz on animals, say, will it quyalify if it's online before the end of Feb?

(I've just seen this)

Reply #75. Feb 02 13, 11:25 PM

kyleisalive

Any quiz you have placed online during February will count. Any.

Even if it doesn't meet a requirement on that list (or if that requirement has already been met).

OK - I'll go write one or two.

Re: Nannywoo-- just caught that. Added it to the list; it was online after the Pot Luck began, so it counts. :)

Just submitted a quiz for the animal category.

Humanities can be crossed off the list :)
