Whereas I tend to rate quizzes highly where the author has made an effort to give the quiz a storylike quality with longer questions.

I'm actually fine with the longer questions but if they become too long where the print is hard to read in quiz mode then I prefer it to be in HTML only. That way I don't have to strain my eyes to read the questions, and I can read the whole question before the answers start showing up and the timer starts ticking.

But you have to option to take it in HTML mode or not. I never change those options on quizzes. I don't want to stop others from enjoying it in the way they see fit.

True, you have the option, but you don't know the length of the questions until you start playing. If I've already answered the first couple of questions in quiz mode, then it doesn't make sense to switch to HTML.

I wrote a quiz once which had long questions so I initially offered it in HTML only for that very reason (would be hard to read ) I was advised from two different directions that I should open the game format because some players will only play in game mode as a rule.

Editors: is there any issue with an author putting a note in the description; something in the vein of "Quiz questions are long so playing in html format is strongly recomended" ?

Still though, that's your choice. Not judging or saying it's wrong. I just wouldn't lower a quiz rating because I chose to play it in a not ideal to me format. But everyone rates however they like, and as I've said before, ratings don't really matter to me anyway.

I am not an Editor, but can confirm that I have seen an addendum such as this and appreciate seeing it.

To be honest, I do not like longer questions due to aging eyes and because if one is used in some form of mixed quiz IE Duels, Team games etc, it can slow me down. OK, I am slow to start with, but that single question will get the blame!
