I could always limit the bonus category to the commentaries, and JF's contest could be more focused on the making-of stuff. Or vice-versa, I suppose, though part of the point of the scavenger hunt is being able to find the info in the books/films. I'm pretty flexible, beyond the traditional books and movies categories.

Aha. Star mention not being here the entire summer. After my finals are over (on the 17th) I'll be able to help around a little each day, until about mid-July where Im off to Europe. Does this pose as a problem?

Just help when you can. There are so many volunteering, we should definetly have enough for the whole summer.

Erm... the quiz will be taking place in the contest section.... it will only be about things that can be found in the documentaries, not the books or the films themselves. The top 5 people (depending on how many will enter) will all be receiving awards and everyone who owns the EE's can join in. You don't need to be an expert to answer the questions, you just either already have a good knowledge of them, or you watch them, which is really what it intends to do, as getting people to remember all the fun stuff found on the EE features is essentially what this is all about. I'm not quite sure why this would be deemed "superfluous"? It's not like I'm dishing out Tolkien Scholar awards or taking anything away from PotR. It's a completely different thing as far as I can see. But then again I could be wrong.

I don't believe I quite deemed it entirely superfluous, I merely stated what my impression was :P Anyway, I think that kinda answers my question, I just wondered if it would perhaps be simpler to have a bonus category in the Scavenger Hunt for questions like the ones you describe, rather than two separate contests. It's not a big deal, I was just a bit curious :)

Not really. As someone said, the Hunt is tradition, but that doesn't mean we can never have another quiz going on at the same time. Kit's contests are a tradition on AU as well, but if someone used the same subject as hers for a contest, at the end of the say, it wouldn't matter.

That wasn't what I meant (it's fine to have two quizzes going on simultaneously; I just thought that it might be simpler to combine them) as I think two quizzes are good too. What with all the other stuff you guys have going on, summer contests and the like, what I was pointing out is that since they're similar, it's less work to combine them and it comes to basically the same thing.

Anyway, question answered, carry on.

Hmm, well as it would be me that has to sit through all the features looking for the questions, I suppose really if it's a case of time etc and the fact there are other things going on (as you said) it will only be me that's put out with getting it all organised, so you know, at the end of the day, I'm happy to do that, and as I don't hear anyone saying they don't want a quiz specifically based on the anecdotes etc. I don't see any reason for it not going ahead. :-)

Last night I wrote up a list of the lead actors in the movies with links to their quotes and galleries[NOT pictures from the movies]. I've been having a difficult time finding screencaps from the commentaries/documentaries/easter eggs, besides the "Hans Jensen" interview, so any help with that would rock.

Also, I have four contest ideas for the general Rotr:BtM contests[which I guess I'm running?] but that's about it so far. I can probably think of more later on today but suggestions are always welcome.

On that note, are we going to have a different thread for contest/quiz planning?

I think it is probably a good idea to get another thread. Right now, we all a good jist of what is going to happen, and, now we need to center the ideas down so everyone is on the same page. Meaning, I am going to be making nice little threads for all of the catergories that will need them.

I say..
Contests
Graphics
Writing
Ball [already up]
Role Playing

Adoril, Aramel, and I are fine-tuning the details of the RP we should have a good plot soon =)

Would you like me to make a thread for RPing, or just leave it in your hands?

A thread for the RP's would be wonderful! That way we can bounce ideas off of each other a bit quicker than trying to sift through this thread. ;-)
