 |
|
I couldn't decide which was the best section to put this in, so I plunked for 'General Discussion' just to be on the safe side, since it's not LOTR related.
I've been browsing some of the BBC's webpages looking for some part time work, and came across their 'writer's room' section, which I haven't been in for months. They've got a lot of funky stuff on there now about writing in general, and I thought maybe some of these quizzes might be of interest to some folks. There's a whole load of things from writing believable crime fiction (which is very UK based, just as a warning, and for someone who just studied Criminal Law and Evidence in the UK, I scored pretty pathetically) to general grammar stuff (which I am about to attempt).
So far my best score has been on the 'researching historical novels' quiz. 
Anyway, the link;

Edit: saying that, I just found a question on copyright on Lord of the Rings in the copyright quiz. (and she scored 10 on that one...which I suppose is quite good for someone hoping to be a media-centric legal type person?)

Thanks, Weavil, for sending this food for thought. I know life does not revolved around LOTR...or does it? Sometimes, I wonder...

 Sometimes, you can be so hurtful. 
 I'm too cool for those tests, Space. I flunked them all

Did I say life does not revolve around LOTR???! By Varda, I must have been insane when I said that!
MY husband calls himself a LOTR widower...
