Hey all!
I'm thrilled to announce our first-ever crossword-specific challenge here in the Author Lounge! With a number of new bonuses for completing crosswords it only made sense to play around with what we can do.
But there's a catch. When I asked our crossword editors what we were looking for, we all realized that we seem to have a bit of an uneven distribution of topics (look at our General section!). So with that, we're here to present twelve different topics we're looking for. The themes should run through your crossword and you should aim, informally, to incorporate as many clues/answers related to the topic you choose. There's no set amount of clues, but a theme is a theme, and you should try your best to weave it through your puzzle.
We don't know what to expect in terms of contributions and authors, so for now, let's say that if you claim one topic and complete it, you may claim another provided the previous one is online. However, we will only allow a maximum of two selections per author at this time. You may, of course, try your hand at more if you're up for the challenge, but only two will count for this one.
For this challenge, we're looking for a crossword for each of these topics, and they should fall into their associated quiz categories. Good luck!
Available Themes:
The Ottoman Empire - Fifiona81
Nintendo Games - Bernie73
Las Vegas Casinos - CmdrK
Famous Artists - Moonraker2
Books of the Bible - Moonraker2
Children's TV Shows - Garymeadows
Currencies of the World - Leith90
Royalty - Bernie73
Comics - Pollucci19
Scientists and Inventors - Moonraker2
Stage Musicals - Mlcmlc
U.S. History - Creedy

Jumping on the bandwagon late (as usual), I'd like to try Currencies please. Is there a minimum number of theme-specific clues/answers required? Or just a vague 'majority'? Reply #23. Nov 30 18, 12:32 AM |

No absolute requirement, but we would like for participants to aim for enough to justify the CW as 'having that theme'. Reply #24. Nov 30 18, 1:33 AM |

I was able to manage 100% theme specific on Inventors & Scientists, but have to admit it was a long and rocky ride! Reply #25. Nov 30 18, 3:44 AM |

It'll be a brave soul who tackles the Ottoman Empire (as history has shown many times) Reply #26. Nov 30 18, 7:16 PM |

If nobody has claimed Famous Artists by the end of this week, I'll give it a go! Reply #33. Dec 03 18, 6:33 AM |

I'd now like to claim Famous Artists please. I set myself the challenge of every answer being related to the theme, and I'm almost there. A few of the answers will need careful research, but I've cross checked they are readily available via the usual search engines. Reply #34. Dec 04 18, 6:46 AM |

LOL Pat, no it was simply perseverance, and not being prepared to give up! Are you now going to pick up "The Ottoman Empire" that appears to be in quarantine? Reply #36. Dec 06 18, 4:40 AM |
