Guide to Writing On-Airs and Matching Songs to Them
<i>(These are excerpts from my emails to the Wombat listserver back in spring 2004.)</i>
===Guidelines for beginning question-writing:===
- You do NOT need to have a realm, subrealm, and song match on questions when you initially submit them. If you do, that's just great and peachy and wonderful – but if you don't, we can always add them later. Don't neglect to send a good question just because you can't think of a brilliant subrealm or something. Provide them if you have them, but don't worry about it if you don't. The question is really the point - the rest is just frosting.
- And finally, when you get a good on-air idea, write it down, write it down, write it down! People are always having great ideas and then forgetting them before they reach their email. That's sad. Don't do that.
===Guidelines for slightly more advanced question-writing:===
I thought I'd help out those of you who haven't written many questions before by providing what I think are two of the keys to making a good factoid into a good Trivia question, if you're interested:
