That will keep people busy for some time I do try not to repeat questions when I make HP quizzes!

The principle of avoiding repetition applies to all categories, whether open, restricted or closed.

This is similar to writers who research the market for their books in order to appeal to a publisher. If a writer sees there are already too many books on a certain subject, but still has a unique approach, they can propose that to a publisher and make their case. If it doesn't work, they keep it on the back burner and maybe a time will come later. If not, they can write on another topic.

As I've been involved in a few publications in 'real life' it works that way.

What does get a little tedious is people who haven't been around too long, who submit, let's say, a music lyrics quiz from a popular group, and when we ask them to take all the quizzes on that group, they claim they have, yet their quiz does not show proof of it.

Don't worry Ginny, I did a 'Friends' quiz but it took me a few years to collect things for something new on that topic.

Whew, glad it's over! I do love Harry Potter and had an idea for a quiz, but, sigh, don't feel up to the research.

Alright, I'm off to play all the Harry Potter quizzes. That'll take me a while.
