..but there ARE some excellent and VERY prolific authors who are capable of writing 10 or more GOOD quizzes in a month.




Ahhh yes, that is SO true about ME!

Hehe... with those new points, Nightmare will be taking a jump all the way from level 27 to a much more impressive level 50! That's a well-deserved promotion for sure!

lol, Wesley. Same with Kyle, he will be at 2,000,000 points at the end, and level 75, or something like that, and Jazzkickazz will get pretty far, too. ;-) lol.

I am looking forward to another 250,000 points, too, though. :-D lol.

Sometimes, I feel like I PREFER the green screen. Don't get me wrong, I hate it, but my quizzes are better with it. I like to make the quiz even better and make it so I get rid of the green screen, so quizzes are better. It's a mind trick, I tell you... A bad thing is good, but you don't like it, so you want it? Aah! :-)

Adawaz, thanks for the compliment. :-)

You know, I must agree partially with delboy and more with everybody else... It does take a certain skill to write different categories, but quiz authors shouldn't be downgraded because of it. As one who has written at least one quiz in every single category, I know it takes a lot more effort for me to write in say, celebrities, but I won't say it takes more work to make a video games quiz, and celebrity quiz authors aren't good, that's going too far. Each author has different abilities, and I respect those who can make quizzes easily in ones I find difficult. That is what gives us variety! If all of us wrote in movies where would we be? :-)

lol, Kyle. That's funny.

By the way, how does one know if they are a "top author" and allowed to get points for more than 5 a month? Or how do you know you are allowed to submit more than one at a time? I think I was able to submit 2 at a time before, but they had to be the same subcategory, or something like that? I don't know if I can now, I haven't tried lately. I have branched out of my comfort zone so much that I have had more corrections than normal, though, so... Anyway, is there a way to know you are a top author, will somebody tell you, or does it just happen, like being eligible to write crosswords just happens?

I'm sure there would be a method of determining this though I think it's been noted in a previous post.

That you'll just inevitably be able to do. There is no notification and they must be in different categories to my recollection.

Yeah, that is what I didn't understand... I was allowed to do 2 in the same subcategory, or two in completely different categories... Both at one point, I think...

But if you are not allowed to do 2, and you try to, won't you get a message saying "hey you, no!" Well, nicer, of course. :-)
