Subject: Sub-Sets - A Challenge

Posted by: kyleisalive
Date: Jun 05 21

Hello hello hello!

FunTrivia is a site with a lot of...trivia. And to categorize that trivia we use a lot of...categories. You see where I'm going.

For this challenge, we're going to tackle what some of you want, but only those of you who step up and tackle what someone else wanted. Listed below are four subcategories in different parts of the site, all of which would be good starting points for new quizzes. The goal is to have someone write a quiz in each of them. Once a quiz is placed online for it, it'll get crossed off and the person who filled in that gap will get the chance to nominate their own subcategory to be written in. Once all four from the heat are online, the next four will be opened up.

If your quiz is placed online, you can send the new subcategory to me via private message and it'll get added into the mix. Only one quiz per author in each heat. The quizzes must go online in the subcategory specified. Remember: we want to work together at these. Choosing a super-narrow subcategory (like a TV show episode) is going to be more of a road block than a challenge!

Our first heat, with subcategories up for grabs is:

Heat #1
  • Geography: Cities of the World - LadyNym
  • Movies: Ghosts in Movies - Ramonesrule
  • Sci/Tech: General Technology - Gracious1
  • Television: 2010s TV - Stoaty

    Heat #2
  • World: UK Railways - Kyleisalive
  • Music: Women in Music - Kankurette
  • Music: Women in Music - Lpez
  • Animals: Feline Mixture - Ramonesrule

    Heat #3
  • History: 19th, 20th & 21st Centuries
  • Movies: 2020s Movies
  • Celebrities: Voice Actors Mixed
  • History: New Zealand History

    Sounds like fun! Do we ask for a subcategory up front or need to just write a quiz that gets online and be the first at it?

    Well Kyle, I promised you a quiz for another challenge, but I noticed that I had a mostly-finished one in General Technology, so I worked at it and submitted it. Hope it's okay.

    We've got a great minds situation here-- yes, two identical subcategories in Heat #2. Onward and upward!

    Question... are we supposed to write in the Subcat we suggested, or are they all open -- first come, first served?

    The new subcategories suggested just go into the mix for the proceeding heat and anyone can write for those new subcategories. Once it goes online, it's claimed.

    That being said, writing for the subcategory you suggested would kind of reduce the point of the challenge a significant amount, otherwise people would just choose sections either in their wheelhouse or that they already have on the go. I think the fair thing here would be to say that you would be able to do any choice except the one you put in, just to avoid the bad precedent.

    Here's my submission for Women in Music: link https://www.funtrivia.com/trivia-quiz/Music/Ill-Have-What-Shes-Having-406963.html

    It also got an Editor's Choice! I'll send you my subcategory, I promise it won't be too horrible.
