Everything You Need to Know About: LiVE Buffy & Angel Trivia Contest   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #428 of 449 |

In March, Guido posted this message:

From Tim, Coordinator of the btvs-angel-authors.net website:

Have you been dying for a way to show off your Slayer knowledge? On
Saturday, April 7th, Buffy & Angel: The Authors will hold a special
100-question LIVE Buffy trivia contest in the Save Angel chatroom. The
winner will receive a brand-new copy of Nancy Holder's Carnival of
Souls. There may never be a BtVS event this big ever again, so make
sure you keep your schedule clear!

Maybe you already own the book. DO NOT let that stop you from
participating. If you win, give the book to someone you know who
watches the show, and maybe introduce them to the Slayer in print, if
they haven't read any of the books previously.

Maybe you haven't ever read any of the books, but you've watched the
show. If you win, you will be stunned to realize what you've been
missing once you read Carnival of Souls. So whether you're a newby to
the books or not, you shouldn't miss this live Buffy contest!

Not all questions will be in the format of an interrogative sentence.
For example, there is a section of questions where you are told
something about or given a short description of a vampire/ demon and
you name the villain.

The contest consists of:

36 Easy Questions
25 Medium Questions
13 Hard Questions
and 26 quote-related questions

You won't want to miss this event. Check back at www.saveangel.org or
www.btvs-angel-authors.net.tc for the latest updates on the contest.

 However, there have been many updates since then. In this VERY LONG post, you will find all the info you need about the trivia contests.

The following was posted at my blog in July:

SaveAngel: 50 Question Contests / The High-way

http://bp0.blogger.com/_JN9pl9RCeOs/RpUIQuj7QmI/AAAAAAAAABc/UqTEesF67Pw/s320/newbanner.jpg

In January this year, I joined SaveAngel.org in order to participate in a chat with Buffy boo author Keith R.A. DeCandido. Since then, Save Angel has been a big part of my on-line life.
.
I had met Scott and Guido, both mods at SaveAngel, during the chat. Well, I actually met Guido online an hour before the chat. I felt comfortable talking to both of them, and they both seemed like the right person(s) to go to with an idea. They just came across as understanding.
.
I have no memory of where this thought came from, but I emailed an idea of mine to Guido. It was a 100 Question LIVE Buffy Trivia Contest. Guido liked it, so he took the issue to the next SaveAngel Strat Chat that was coming up. They liked the idea, so then Guido, Scott, and I ran through a lot of the questions I had already organized for the event as if it was the actual day, and the actual contest. This happened in a crappy chatroom I had set up. These last two events may have happened the other way around. So much for my memory.
.
Anyway, they had a lot of fun in the fake-contest. More so for Scott than Guido, for he had to leave for part of the time. We then discussed time, date, and promoting for the event.
.
On April 7th, the contest happened. Everyone had a lot of fun and the winner, Becky Gilreath (I hope I got your last name right), was mailed a copy of Nancy Holder's Carnival of Souls.
.
I got a PRIVATE MESSAGE at SaveAngel either that day or the day after from Jess aka Jsebold87. She was asking if there would be any more contests, possibly monthly or weekly, etc. I wasn't completely against the idea, so I immediatly PRIVATE MESSAGEd Guido about it. He wasn't opposed to it either. So I told him I would work on details and such, but the contests would NOT be 100 questions every month. When we had done the first contest, the only thing that was a little crazy about it was that it took FOREVER! I had to keep running back and forth to get Cokes and I was on a sort of energetic high! To know that I was the one who had to stay active and continue to type was very exciting. That sounds a little wierd, but I still get that high every time I host something in a chatroom. I had the same feeling a few weeks ago when I hosted a chat with Buffy author Alice Henderson.
.
So I originally came up with having a monthly, 50 question Buffy contest on the second Saturday of every month at 5pm Eastern Time (Indianapolis). We waited for an hour and a half on May 12th before we had enough people to play. Allan aka taraswizaard won the Angel novel donated by MaidenGreen.
.
We changed the time to 4pm Eastern in order for it not to be 7pm by the time we decided to reschedule the contest. We pretty much wait an hour to two hours after the original start time before rescheduling. We've had two contests so far, and we would have had 3, but we had to reschedule one.
.
This coming Saturday will be the first ANGEL trivia contest. Jeff Mariotte, author of 9 Angel novels and dozens of related comics, is donating more than one prize to both the winner and runner-up, so I am very hopeful for a big crowd.
.
Here is the setup for the ANGEL contests as well as points:
.
SETUP:
.
Easy: 8 q; Medium: 10 q; Hard: 14 q;

Here is the press release for the first 50 Question Contest:
 
INTRODUCING: The Monthly LIVE Buffy Trivia Contest
(title has potential for changing... if u have any ideas, reply)

Held on the second Saturday of every month, the contest will be cut down to only 50 questions. Unlike the original contest, no prizes will be rewarded. It's all about the fun!

See everyone May 10th, here in the SaveAngel chatroom!
 
There ARE prizes.
 
June Press Release Thread:
 
I am so glad that I can type this message with complete truth! After emailing Jeff Mariotte about the contest, he has agreed to donate 2, count 'em, 2 (!) of his Angel novels for the next contest on June 9th! He is shipping them himself, but I don't have a guarantee on whether or not they will be signed.

So, the first, and second!, prize will be an ANGEL novel from Jeff. So many thanks to the wonderful man and talented writer!

The contests are now going to be starting at 4pm EST, here in the chatroom, held by Buffy & Angel: The Authors. Make sure to clear your calendars for the

SPECIAL JEFF MARIOTTE 50-QUESTION LIVE BUFFY CONTEST
UPDATE: One Novel will be ANGEL, the other one will be a newer novel of jeff's. This may be how it always goes when we get a donation from an author, so stay tuned for more info soon.
 
Hey guys, here is my email from Jeff Mariotte regarding the 50 Question LIVE Buffy Contests. Notice what I italicized.

Tim,

I have a suggestion. Since the Buffy and Angel novel publishing programs are effectively over now, with little likelihood of being revived, none of us authors are making any more money from those books. There might be a couple still paying royalties, like the first Watcher's Guide, but most of the stuff is out of print and any books we donate are just leftover stock that we have.

How about if the winners of your contests get a Buffy or Angel novel, PLUS a new novel by the same author? That way we can help fans of B & A discover what we're up to now. It's always hard to drag fans of one property over to other stuff, especially original stuff, even--as with my Witch Season series, it's written with those exact fans in mind.

By June 9 I should have copies of my new original novel MISSING WHITE GIRL, and I'd be glad to send an Angel novel and a copy of MWG out to the winner or winners. I suspect other authors would feel the same way about the chance to promote what they're doing now.

Best,

Jeff


I'm not sure if he is sending out a copy of both to the first and second placers or one to each. I guess we'll find out.
 
That contest never happened. Noone showed up.
 
The news about the Mailing List:
 
In order to better update those who are interested in the contests, I have started a mailing list. (I really have to thank Jsebold for this idea!) I will send updates and reminders through this mailing list. You can join it by emailing me at buffysmglover2@... w/ the subject CONTEST REMINDERS

PRESS RELEASE for August:
 
Started in April of 2007 with a 100 Question Contest, the 50 Question Live Buffy and Angel Contests are just a bunch of fun for fans with Slayer/Vampire Know-It-All. The people at Buffy & Angel: The Authors and Save Angel work hard to successfully organize and host the one BtVS/AtS event that will leave you feeling eager to join the next contest. But you'll need to have your face buried into the television, watching reruns of the shows, if you want to have a better chance at winning.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Everyone!

We are less than a week away from the next 50 Question LiVE Buffy Trivia Contest at SaveAngel.org! And I am VERY excited about the prizes this month.

Alice Henderson, who in October brought us her second BtVS book, is donating BtVS: STAKE YOUR DESTINY: NIGHT TERRORS and BtVS: PORTAL THROUGH TIME to both the Winner and Runner-Up! PORTAL THROUGH TIME just recently won a Scribe Award for Best Novel! Congratulations to Alice, who I believe, days later, is still floating on air.

Below you will find the time and date for the contest in your neck of the woods:

Saturday, April 11th

CEST:10pm
BST: 9pm
EDT (Indpls): 4pm
CDT (Chicago): 3pm
MDT/CST: 2pm
PDT: 1pm

Sunday, April 12th

EST: 6am
JDT: 5am

Hope everyone can make it!

--Tim "Buffysmglover"

----------------------------------------------------------

Contest Hint:
If you want to prepare for this month's contest, I suggest rewatching BtVS Seasons 1-3. Or at least a few episodes from Buffy's Sophmore, Junior, and Senior years.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Message For Future Contestants:
The best thing to remember about these contests is that they're fun. Some questions are easy,some are hard but you get to have a great time meeting and playing with your fellow Angel/Buffy fans! One thing I've learned playing in these contests is that it's amazing how much I know that I thought I didn't know. Test your brain. Find out how much you know! Learn stuff that you didn't know! Win prizes! It's more fun than the undead should be allowed to have (Certainly more than Angel should!)! --- Scott / BuffyverseForever (Judge)

Some Other Stuff

By participating in one of the contests, you present the fact that you are aware one of the contestants may be one of the people who work WITH the contests. You also agree not to sue or in any way offend the site if the judge wins. (Most of the judges stink at trivia anyways.)

---We are not affiliated with God (Joss Whedon), FOX, or any other related companies, people, or demons, so on and so forth. The contests are 100% the work of fans. And certain Buffy/Angel authors, but they also fit into the "fans" category.

A Recap of the Buffy & Angel LiVE Trivia Contests

-April 14th, 2007

The 100 Question LiVE Buffy Trivia Contest, a part of Buffy & Angel: The Authors and SaveAngel, is hosted in the chatroom.

*Becky Gilreath, using the username: becky, wins the contest and is mailed a copy of Nancy Holder's CARNIVAL OF SOULS. Becky entered the contest w/out realizing the winner would receive a prize.

** "Thanks so much, Tim! When I joined, I didn't know there were prizes! I had so much fun playing!"-2nd Half of April

Jess, username: Jsebold87 PMs me a message asking if there will be more contests. I PM Guido, and the contests continue monthly, with the length cut in half (from 100 questions to 50 questions). -May 12th, 2007

The first 50 Question LiVE Buffy Trivia Contest is hosted in the chatroom.

*Allan (taraswizaard) wins the contest and receives AtS novel(s) donated by the gracious MaidenGreen.-June 9th, 2007

The contest for June was planned out as being a " "50 Question LIVE Buffy Trivia Contest: Jeff Mariotte Special" with prizes donated by Jeff, and autographed. Noone showed up for the contest, but lucky for us, Jeff Mariotte agreed to move his donations up to the next contest in July.

-July 14th, 2007The first 50 Question LiVE ANGEL Trivia Contest was a brief one between Shiai and BuffyverseForever. BuffyverseForever (Scott) received two AtS novels signed by Jeff Mariotte, along with a signed copy of his new book, MISSING WHITE GIRL. This was our first contest to offer a runner-up prize. Shiai would have been mailed one AtS novel and a copy of MWG, both signed, but generously insisted that the prizes be kept by me for use in a later contest.-August 11th, 2007 - Aug 24th, 2007

Here's where the contests make a positive turn! In between this 50 Question LiVE Buffy Trivia Contest and the AtS contest in July, a Myspace page was created for the contests ( http://www.myspace.com/btvs_ats_live_trivia ). At the last minute, Shiai posted a link to SaveAngel about the contest at Whedonesque.com. It was then posted at Whedon.info. With only hours before the contest, views of the article on the front page of SaveAngel sky-rocketted! From August 5th to August 24th, there have been 788 views of the article! And the Myspace page has gained 110 friends by August 24th. 11 new members joined SaveAngel on August 11th.

The contest brought in at least 14* players.
* Some people came in and out during the contest and others watched. Around 12-14 people tried answering questions, while at least 2 people watched. The 100 Question LiVE Buffy Trivia Contest had less contestants.

Prizes for the contest were donated by BtVS author Alice Henderson, who just weeks before won a Scribe Award for her Buffy novel PORTAL THROUGH TIME. There was a little confusion during mine and Alice's emails. She had agreed to donate one copy of ONE book, either Night Terrors or Portal Through Time, to the runner-up, and ONE copy of the other book to the winner. I believed she meant a copy of each book would go to both the runner-up and winner, meaning both contestants would receive two books.

------------------------------------------------------

INTRODUCING SOMETHING NEW

BtVS Contests NOW INCLUDING SEASON EIGHT!

WHAT ARE WE AT SAVEANGEL.ORG AND BTVS-ANGEL-AUTHORS.NET.TC USING TO CELEBRATE THE ADDITION OF SEASON EIGHT?

Scott Allie has sent us one SIGNED copy each of the first 5 issues of SEASON EIGHT! And the winner's going to be sent them next!

Since March of this year, two great websites (em-hmm, if I may say so myself) have been working to create a fun, well-organized online competitive game for Buffy and Angel fans. The contests, which kicked off in April, have only included actual television episodes. However, Season Eight, which is delivered to readers monthly through a comic book published by DARK HORSE COMICS, is now into its 7th issue. And Angel's mini-series continuation of the show called AtS: After the Fall (published by IDW) has its first issue out in November, which happens to be the same month as the next AtS trivia contest. So, as previously stated, the comics will now be included in the contests, but ONLY the show continuations. We will not be quizzing over the comics that have not been approved by Joss Whedon to be thought of as more episodes in the series.

The questions regarding the comics will not differ in format from the questions regarding the television series. In other words, questions you may expect to read as "In the third issue of Season Eight, The Long Way Home part 3…" will be read as "In the episode The Long Way Home Part Three…"

October's prize has partially already been stated at the top of this announcement. I am very, very, very (!!!) excited about the prizes. I'd been talking to Scott online the night before he was leaving Indy from his trip for GenCon and when I asked him about prizes, he, obviously, accepted the invite to donate. I am very grateful, and I want to thank Scott for donating. I read some Buffy TPBs once I learned that Joss would be continuing Buffy to Season Eight, and I've loved every TPB I've read… except for a certain one which I won't mention by name unless someone asks me. And I know that a part of each comic that makes it so cool is always because of Scott Allie, so thank you Scott.

BUT, there's more! Along with the prizes donated by Scott, SlayAlive.com is donating some THE LONG WAY HOME posters! The poster is made with the wonderful art that is displayed on the cover of the first arc's TPB, coming out in November. The poster was available at the San Diego ComicCon.

Messages From the Judges The best thing to remember about these contests is that they're fun. Some questions are easy,some are hard but you get to have a great time meeting and playing with your fellow Angel/Buffy fans! One thing I've learned playing in these contests is that it's amazing how much I know that I thought I didn't know. Test your brain. Find out how much you know! Learn stuff that you didn't know! Win prizes! It's more fun than the undead should be allowed to have (Certainly more than Angel should!)! --- Scott / BuffyverseForever (Judge)

When you first enter these contests, you'll probably be thinking "I know I'm going to suck at this today." The funny thing is, everyone else is bad too! The contests are designed to be fun for everyone involved, trivia-buff or not. And if it makes you feel better, while you are having fun, I'm shaking in front of the computer monitor worried about messing up. And my aunt is bringing me another glass of Coca-Cola (this is not an endorsement! Pepsi rocks too!), asking me if I'm hungry. And I tell her no. Then the contest ends and mostly everyone is happy, especially the winner and sometimes the runner-up, and I realize I am extremely hungry. Then we all chitchat for around ten minutes until the crowd slowly dies away. And I eat. So everyone is happy! – Tim / Buffysmglover (Creator / Judge)

And don't forget to purchase the 6th issue of SEASON EIGHT, No Future For You - Part One, from TFAW.com.

"You've got apocalypse written all over your face."

The Slayer population of the world has gone from two to nearly two thousand. Almost five hundred are working with Buffy's European-based organization in squads—or "terrorist cells," according to various military forces. Enter Faith, the pioneer of Slayer-related dirty work, whose talents as a fierce fighter continue to garner the attention of her former Sunnydale compatriots.

------------------------------------------------------------One of the judges may participate if we don't have an ODD number of judges. By participating in one of the contests, you present the fact that you are aware one of the contestants may be one of the people who work WITH the contests. You also agree not to sue or in any way offend the site if the judge wins. (Most of the judges stink at trivia anyways.) The absolute ONLY judge that knows the questions and their answers before-hand is BUFFYSMGLOVER, who will NEVER be a contestant. He does NOT share the questions and answers with the other judges ahead of time.

---We are not affiliated with God (Joss Whedon), FOX, or any other related companies, people, or demons, so on and so forth. The contests are 100% the work of fans. And sometimes Buffy/Angel authors, comic writers, comic artists, and comic editors, but they also fit into the "fans" category.

Thank you for reading about the contests. The next contest is Saturday, November 10th. The press release will be posted later on tonight.
