We could do a Friday Night Trivia or something like that. So everyone who wants to play would be present and ready. <br /><br />If we do it at a specific time, one person can host. For example, first night is you - you prepare 10 questions, then winner "host" the next evening and prepare another 10 questions... and so on.<br /><br />Also, Twitter or a chatroom would work well, because "faster." Or if you want to do a bit like jeopardy and have categories and people choose their categories or such, perhaps a separate blog.<br /><br />I think it's a great idea :) However, I do believe it's better if it's more interactive or live. If there's no set time, you have no idea when who is going to post the trivia question, etc.<br /><br />Just my two cents :Dnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-57684107967943521992009-11-15T20:58:11.684-05:002009-11-15T20:58:11.684-05:00Upon further pondering, what I was thinking more o...Upon further pondering, what I was thinking more of was someone would start - like me for example since I had the idea (laughing) and whoever answered first would then come up with their own trivia question - and whoever answered that would then ask a question - and so on and so on and so on. So for that I'm thinking Twitter would work better since it's quicker.Kristie (J)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15743921647882733738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-8074927799279356422009-11-15T20:12:21.002-05:002009-11-15T20:12:21.002-05:00No idea about the movie, but I think a good place ...No idea about the movie, but I think a good place to hold it would be on a blog (and promote via Twitter), although.... You could post X questions per day/week/month (e.g. seven per week, one per day) on your blog and each one could be Twittered... Small totals each week and the grand total at the end of the month?<br /><br />Will stop massively rambling now...

You'll then see the live feed of everyone who has posted a Tweet including that hashtag.Katie Mackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10094236956287511024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-85139840113525987762009-11-15T16:20:24.868-05:002009-11-15T16:20:24.868-05:00I would love to participate in a game of romance t...I would love to participate in a game of romance trivia! Will it be general romance trivia or specifically romance books, movies, or stuff?<br /><br />Sounds like great fun! Best of luck in trying to figure out how to organize it all.

Of course I was on my lunch break and in too big of a hurry to buy it. Der. Like how long does it take to grab something. Anyway, went back and it was gone!!! That'll teach me.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868327419940314643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-51627963147326598222009-11-15T15:15:08.206-05:002009-11-15T15:15:08.206-05:00Laurije Bee & Elizabeth Jules Mason: You two g...Laurije Bee & Elizabeth Jules Mason: You two get the bonus points!! For months after seeing that movie, my sisters and I were constantly using that phrase!! We still do - but not quite the extent we did then. And while I couldn't explain it at the time, I had such a girl crush on the Haley Mills character and was as stunned as Rachel when Mary Francis decided to become a nun.<br /><br />Katie & Jessica: I just thought of it, so I'll contemplate it more in the next little while. But so far it sounds like there are 3 of us who are in.<br />While I have an account at Twitter and actually have tweeted 275 times!!!

Haven't quite figured out how to go about it though. <br /><br />Personally, I think the blog would be the best place to hold it. Twitter would be a good place to promote it though.<br /><br />Good luck with figuring it out! I know I would participate. : D<br /><br />Jessica W.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172449133778645527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-30956624197579633132009-11-15T14:37:02.428-05:002009-11-15T14:37:02.428-05:00The title is from the movie "The Trouble with...The title is from the movie "The Trouble with Angels" - great movie!<br /><br />:o)<br /><br />MsMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-32578818984403263342009-11-15T14:17:44.951-05:002009-11-15T14:17:44.951-05:00I love the idea of a romance trivia contest!
