Subject: We Title Your Crosswords! - COMPLETE
Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Feb 16 19
Hello everyone!
I've gone to our Crossword editors and asked them some very EXTREME questions about potential challenges for our authors and amongst those possibilities was...this.
For this challenge, all you've gotta do is write a crossword using one of the titles below. Any section you wish. Under ideal circumstances, our editors would like to see some of the less-used categories, so let's say that only one of you can submit to General. First come, first serve.
You may claim more than one title, but only if your preceding one goes online.
Completed Titles:
Fly Me to the Moon - Mlcmlc
Post-Modern History - Pollucci19
Fairy Tales and Nursery Rhymes - Bernie73
Cruel and Unusual Words - CmdrK
Shiver Me Timbers - Windrush
Sacred and Secular - Windrush
Open Sesame - Creedy
Simulated Worlds - CmdrK
Horses of Note - Moonraker2
Spanish For Beginners - Triviaballer
Theme Park Rides - Moonraker2
All Things Unknown - Creedy

Creedy, umm.. That page is just the author page. And there I only have 3 quiz templates, no crosswords. But if you visit http://www.funtrivia.com/crossword/mycross.cfm I see my very very old templates. This link is available if the homepage is reverted back to the old format. That is, the Taskbar is the old one, go to 195 Bus Ride page for example. funtrivia.com/author and funtrivia.com/author.cfm (old link) agree on quizzes though. Wesley, any comments? Reply #22.

Moonraker: "Horses of Note" is ready to submit, but stands behind another in the queue. It was tough to keep every answer within the subject matter, but after a struggle I was pleased to manage it. ---- You are an inspiration, Ivor. I inevitably have to resort to at least a couple of fillers. Reply #24. Feb 19 19, 6:48 AM |

If I may pick up another, may I have Sacred and Secular, please, Kyle? Reply #25. Feb 19 19, 6:49 AM |

Windrush, I actually think our lovely team member, Moonraker, is from another planet. I believe it's called Thesaurania, and the children there are reared on dictionaries and take part in Word Olympic games :) He himself has assorted aurem, argentum and aes medals, way too many to count, and periodically brings them into the team room to show new members.

Creedy, I believe you. It is a delight to solve Moonraker's silky - smooth puzzles, which while seldom predictable, are always solvable without resorting to the EASY option. He has been my role model since I started writing CW's last year. I can only hope to learn from his example.. While the above may look at first glance like flattery, it is, I believe, an honest assessment of an FT asset whose work should be treated as a Master Class. Reply #28. Feb 19 19, 5:07 PM |

Whooooa, stop! that's far more than I deserve, and as Creedy suggested is sooooo embarrassing! However, it's also much appreciated, especially as you have both written numerous quality quizzes, achievements which I could only dream about. Reply #32. Feb 20 19, 5:55 AM |

In what category does "All Things Unknown" belong? I'd like to see what kind of quizzes/crosswords it gets before I commit to it. Can't seem to find where it fits. Reply #40. Feb 23 19, 7:39 PM |
