What happens when an editor requires changes I can't or do not want to make?


We understand that, rarely, you might receive an editor feedback that lets your quiz attempt feel unsalvageable - you might feel you don't know enough to make the requested changes, can't come up with suitable replacements for questions that don't work or just don't feel like the modifications requested would let you do what you intended to do (such as if you tried a special format).

When this happens, however, do not delete or repurpose the quiz on your own volition! This just wastes both your time and that of the editor.

Instead, contact your editor by direct message and let them know about your dilemma. It'll be very helpful if you state just why you can't complete the quiz as intended. We're willing to come up with additional help, discuss a format that lets you keep your style, or, ultimately, agree that it is indeed better to abandon the attempt instead of having a lengthy exchange with an outcome no one is really happy with. Even if you abandon the quiz, there might still be some material worth submitting as single questions, so this can also be a solution.

Like in all authoring matters, we are trying to always cooperate and our end goal is to release a work that both you and we are happy to see listed.


Note that the above only applies to a quiz / crossword you have submitted and received editor feedback on. If you have never submitted your quiz or withdrawn it before an editor looked at it, you are free to make any change you want, including a deletion or a complete rebuild. However, before you delete or overwrite anything, we recommend you give a few moments of thought to see if you can repurpose some of the work as single questions - it would be a pity to throw away something good, wouldn't it?
