Subject: Finding Your Niche - COMPLETE
Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Feb 10 19
We've been seeing a lot of requests over the past while for challenges that force players into specialized subcategories around the site. I have no doubt that the lot of you here on the Author Lounge board are capable of taking a niche topic and making it something accessible for players around the globe. So that's why this challenge is here.
Every section of the site has its niches, and for this challenge, we're looking for one quiz in each category specifically in the subcategory prescribed (and not in their own subcategories if any). You may claim one subcategory at a time, but you may claim more if you want when your previous one goes online. Topics are, of course, first-come-first-serve. Claimed topics left unattended for 60 days will be returned to the list.
Oh yeah, and one other thing. If you have written a quiz in one of these subcategories, you're not eligible to claim it. You already know you're A-OK in that section; let's see what someone else can do. ;)
Completed Subcategories:
Animals - Donkeys and Mules - Gracious1
Brain Teasers - Cryptics - Pollucci19
Celebrities - Nicolas Cage - Kankurette
Entertainment - Juggling - Jonnowales
For Children - African Geography For Kids - 1nn1
General - Brown - Kankurette
Geography - Iraq - Leodavinci
History - Albania - Joepetz
Hobbies - Gemini - Kankurette
Humanities - Sociology - Godwit
Literature - Pope, Alexander - JanIQ
Movies - Q - RedHook13
Music - Blues - Reedy
People - Firefighting - Godwit
Religion - Buddhism - Zorba_Scank
Sci/Tech - Specific Chemicals and Compounds - RedHook13
Sports - Biathlon - KatieK54
Television - Mixture: Teen - RedHook13
Video Games - Role-Playing Games Mixture - Malik24
World - Swahili - LadyNym

In fact, this is one of the best quizzes in Science/Technology I have seen. Russian and I had a long discussion on writing Sci/Tech quizzes which are not overly 'technical'. Thanks, this quiz did teach me how to write on niche topics but in a simple manner. Reply #22. Feb 17 19, 12:15 PM |

I may have to tinker about with it a little as the editor wasn't too happy with it. Reply #26. Feb 20 19, 6:50 AM |

Firefighting must be for me. I created a template recently for the topic but in a different category. People, firefighting, please. Reply #27. Feb 21 19, 1:48 AM |

I know I’m being greedy, but can I have Nicolas Cage please? No more requests after this, I promise! Reply #28. Feb 21 19, 5:30 AM |

There's no greed to it; the topics are free to be picked up as per the rules. I implore people to explore! Reply #29. Feb 21 19, 5:43 AM |

Being a language buff, even if I don't really know a lot about it, I'll gladly take Swahili! Reply #30. Feb 21 19, 8:51 AM |

Just a quick question about celeb quizzes: if they’re actors, is it OK to do a question about their films? I know that’s Movies but the title of my Cage quiz is a Wicker Man reference and not everyone will get it, so I wanted to do a question about it. Reply #31. Feb 22 19, 3:34 AM |

Career questions are fine in Celebs, but you should strive for balance. A quiz all about movies he’s been in will go to the Movies category, but you won’t get sent there on one question about a relevant role with solid celeb-based info. Reply #32. Feb 22 19, 4:31 AM |

If no one picks it up in the next couple weeks I'll probably take RPGs. Reply #34. Feb 27 19, 5:29 PM |

I've finally submitted my Nicolas Cage quiz! I've never played RPGs, you're more than welcome to do it. Reply #35. Mar 04 19, 3:17 PM |
