MQ2007 - November 10-11 - A Meeting of Minds

**Cheryl** · Oct 17 2007, 11:47 AM

We've finally picked a date for McCaffrey Quest 2007, November 10-11. Yes, we're missing the month of October once again; offline life has delayed our preparations. But this means you have a couple extra weeks to prepare yourselves, so hooray!

The Quest will likely actually start on the evening of Fri Nov 9 (depending on your time zone), and run until sometime Mon Nov 12. Like last year, the challenge will mostly consist of multiple choice questions, with a few open-ended short answer questions. The total number of questions will be approximately 100-120.

The top 10% of entrants will be eligible for a prize from our fabulous prize pool (we'll post this year's list soon), and the grand prize winner will be able to select from a select few books signed by Anne McCaffrey!

Our topic this year is Early Pern and Tower & Hive. The specific books to be covered are:

Dragonsdawn
Chronicles of Pern
Dragonseye/Red Star Rising
The Rowan
Damia
Damia's Children
Lyon's Pride
The Tower and the Hive

Lady Maelin · Oct 17 2007, 12:13 PM

HOORAY!!! I really can use this extra bit of time to get ready. As I need to listen to a few more of my *Talent* series book tapes...especially the newer *The Tower and the Hive*.

Nefermiw · Oct 17 2007, 02:41 PM

Ooh, this is very exciting.
I hope I can set off some time for this. Last year I was too busy planning to move to a new flat, and this year it seems most of my free time in November is also going to be spend planning a move.

I reread the Tower & Hive series a couple of months ago, and today I actually finished a book (James Herriot), so I could actually begin to reread the Pern books relevant to this years quest tomorrow.

sjslack · Oct 17 2007, 03:12 PM

I'm going to have to rely on memory and websites this year.

The reading list for an English Student at this uni is already a Novel and a journal a week. >.< I'm a fast reader...but not that fast.

L'isa · Oct 17 2007, 03:15 PM

Hooray!!! Yep, can always use the extra time to prepare. Getting antsy, though.

mmarkina · Oct 17 2007, 06:41 PM

Thank you for the extra time and for posting the dates.

Allana · Oct 17 2007, 09:30 PM

Yay! I won't be studying for any tests then!

Kater · Oct 18 2007, 10:02 AM

Maybe I'll try it this year!!

mawra · Oct 18 2007, 04:47 PM

I do not think I will do real good, but I'll give it a try.

L'isa · Oct 18 2007, 06:20 PM

Mawra, remember what Yoda said:

Do or do not, there is no try.

Deb · Oct 19 2007, 12:14 AM

Woo Hoo!! I was hoping for a delay of 1 week...but another week on top? Lots more time to review the books!! Although the wait is going to be twice as hard!!

**testing time is almost here!!**

Lady Maelin · Oct 19 2007, 11:26 AM

Maw, find yourself a comfy chair...a pile of your books, or the files on your computer that contain your McCaffrey E-books, that are on the list...and just sit down and enjoy it....you will never know how well you can do, until you have done one.
Belive me it is a lot of fun to race through all your books, trying to find all the different answers that are needed to finish. Oh yes lets not forget the best part, coming on here to nervouly

wait with the rest of us while all the *Quest* papers are UGGGGGGGGG.........CORRECTED.....

granath · Oct 19 2007, 01:05 PM

Oh dear. I'm going to a wedding on the 10th, so I probably won't have time to answer all the questions on the 11th...

r2005 · Oct 19 2007, 04:14 PM

This does look like it could be a lot of fun. Tower and Hive is one of the series of books that I have never read, although I think my grandmother has them in her house somewhere, and I don't have time to read all those books with all my school work.

Also, that weekend, my Theatre class is planning on taking a trip to Montreal to see a play. Good luck to everyone who is going to do it. I know I will have fun on my trip.

L'isa · Oct 21 2007, 01:34 PM

I was supposed to go to a workshop that weekend, but I have decided not to go. Don't want to miss out. I remember last year, I had something to do and it really took away from my searching for answers.

sjslack · Oct 21 2007, 02:16 PM

...something tells me I may be going to London for the weekend...-Shifty eyes-

I'll tell them I'm...uh...washing my hair. xDD

Kesal · Oct 22 2007, 04:59 AM

doh! for the second year in a row this is on a weekend I'm moving house...and I also have my sister's hen's night this year.

I managed a (bad) entry last year, but I wont be able to do it this year.

***Hans*** · Oct 22 2007, 03:42 PM

Question now is: are you moving every time we organise McCaffreyQuest or are holding the Quest on the weekend you're moving?

Lady Maelin · Oct 22 2007, 07:23 PM

The only thing that I am going to be moving will be my books from one side of my table to the other... as I dig out the answers...LOL!!

Kesal · Oct 24 2007, 04:37 AM

The latter - I've known about the moving before I've known about the dates for the Quest

L'isa · Oct 24 2007, 10:49 AM

Yes, Maelin, but also my fingers will be moving as I type on the computer in search of answers, too.

***Anneli*** · Oct 24 2007, 03:37 PM

Speaking of moving, could we ask any of you who are active on other McCaffrey-related sites to pass the word about the Quest and the date? The more entries, the more prizes, so it's in everyone's interests to encourage a large entry

Lisa, Yes indeedy...my fingers will be moving to, but perhaps not as fast as yours will be...Good Luck, I hope that both of us do well

Susan · Oct 24 2007, 08:46 PM

Oh man -- that's Webelos Woods weekend. Hubby & I plan to be camping out with eldest son. Hmmm.... Maybe I can skip and HE can take the son. I'll stay home and answer questions....

I know my Pegasus and Crystal Singer stuff.... Now to make sure I have the early Pern books and re-read them. Hmmm... I just finished Ship Who Sings today, so I just need to go get a new book off the shelf...

Susan

***Hans*** · Oct 25 2007, 04:14 AM

Print them off and take them with you?

**Cheryl** · Oct 25 2007, 10:49 AM

That's lovely, but neither Pegasus or Crystal Singer is on the challenge this year.

Just the latter half of the Talent books, Rowan through Tower & Hive.

mawra · Oct 25 2007, 09:10 PM

I do not have most of the talent book so I will probably be looking for things on line. can you sugest some good info. sites.

Oct 28 2007, 03:12 PM

I'm looking forward to this year. By the time I heard about it last year it was long over.

Gwina · Oct 28 2007, 03:34 PM

I'm SO EXCITED!!! I don't know that I will place at all...but, dang it's my favorite series of Anne's. Ok, well...it's really hard to have a favorite, you know...but, it's up there. (-; And best of all...I haven't missed it yet. :p Hooray! I have to say the last few months have been crazy so this is good timing for me.

***Anneli*** · Oct 28 2007, 06:50 PM

Good to hear, V'iver and Gwina, we have a lot of fun making up the questions and collecting prizes, but it'd be no fun at all if people didn't enter

edith · Oct 29 2007, 04:40 AM

I've got to buy a copy of RSR. I love the book but I've never found it in a shop. I'm ordering it from Amazon as none of the bookshops in town stock it.

Kath · Oct 29 2007, 06:22 AM

I've just posted a few adverts at FF.net in the McCaffrey section. You can't include links in their forum, but hopefully a few readers will google their way over here.

***Hans*** · Oct 29 2007, 10:20 AM

Thanks Kath, that's very much appreciated!

Allana · Oct 29 2007, 09:16 PM

I don't even know how I found out about mccaffreyquest, but I finished it last year before I even knew what MoM was!

As far as I know, MoM member Granath still has the best Talent site on the net.

Drat my brother and his pesky 30th Birthday and associated nonsense ......

I guess I'll have to do what I can in the time I have!!!

He's always been a troublesome brother .........

Lady Maelin · Nov 2 2007, 04:26 PM

I'm starting to get very excited again with the dat looming very near. I have started collecting my books and setting up a place where I can work like a crazy person, to find the answers to the questions that you stafters have gathered to confound all of us Questers.
Looks like my husband is going to feed me goodies again this year, while I am hard at it...since I will need all my strength hefting books to and fro all weekend long....what a way to spend a weekend...

sjslack · Nov 3 2007, 03:03 PM

I've told my flatmates that in no terms whatsoever am I to be disturbed. -chuckles-

edith · Nov 4 2007, 05:39 PM

I'll be at home but I have all the books this year and I'll start on the train!

Re: MQ2007 - November 10-11 I'm starting to get very excited again with the dat looming very near. I have started collecting my books and setting up a place where I can work like a crazy person, to find the answers to the questions that you stafters have gathered to confound all of us Questers. Looks like my husband is going to feed me goodies again this year, while I am hard at it...since I will need all my strength hefting books to and fro all weekend long....what a way to spend a weekend... __________________ "To the Horsehead Nebula and back we shall make beautiful music"..."Together!"
