Subject: Crossword Categories - COMPLETE

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

Children's TV Shows is online, tougher to create than I thought, exacerbated by a broken wrist! http://www.funtrivia.com/crossword/play.cfm?gid=5948 Reply #42. Dec 20 18, 1:13 AM |

Nice work Gary, especially whilst suffering with a broken wrist! If you're 'up for it' there's now a second list of topics up for grabs. http://www.funtrivia.com/bb.cfm?action=details&qnid=30475&boardid=2222222 Reply #43. Dec 20 18, 4:47 AM |

I had a look but none of them leapt out at me - the Christmas one tempted me but I doubt I'd finish it before Lent! Reply #44. Dec 20 18, 8:51 AM |

I've already compiled crosswords for two of the topics, but as nobody seems to be coming forward for the final topic "Books of the Bible", I'll give it a go to complete the challenge. Hopefully, this is acceptable? Reply #46. Apr 26 19, 8:22 AM |

Sorry for bringing this minor issue: But in the list of completed and ongoing challenges, Crossword Categories 1 has been put in Completed. Minor issue, so correct it whenever you want, or let's just wait for RedHook and keep it that way! xD Reply #52. May 02 19, 9:14 AM |

Sorry for taking so long, I haven't gotten mine to work out well either. If someone else wants to take the last one, they can. Reply #53. May 02 19, 1:06 PM |

Re: "But in the list of completed and ongoing challenges, Crossword Categories 1 has been put in Completed." I kept it there because doing the extra run-around to swap it back and forth for a topic that was already claimed seemed like a lot of extra work. RedHook-- your call if you want to hand it back.

Would this one that joepetz did count? http://www.funtrivia.com/crossword/play.cfm?gid=6352 Reply #55. Jun 03 19, 3:28 PM |

That one went online while the topic was still claimed by RedHook13, so it would not have been made with this challenge in mind. Reply #56. Jun 03 19, 4:33 PM |
