Then I came up with the crazy idea of not using any quiz website. At first the coding seemed impossible. But then I started fiddling with javascript and luckily there are MANY excellent tutorials and lots of great, well explained examples on the web. Now I wish I'd kept a list of the many, many websites that gave me so much help.... who sooooo deserve a big "Thank You". It took a lot of fiddling, but eventually I got it working. (anyone who wants to see it can just view the html source)

Then it turns out livejournal doesn't allow javascript, so even though I had it all working nicely on my computer, I couldn't post it here. I found several free web hosting sites, and ultimately went with web1000. They add a "toolbar" at the top of the page, but at least they don't have popups like most of the others.

The last part was writing all those captions. 128 of them. A few were easy for my favorite images... the ones I'd personally spent some time fantasizing about. I asked friends if they wanted to help, but everyone was busy. Ultimately, arecee and I wrote them all in a couple days. It seemed like we'd never finish, but then we got into the "zone" and wrote almost all of them in one evening.

We finished around 10pm, and then went out to a bar for late happy hour... with a big printout of all the captions, each next to a small copy its image. We sat there, drinking and proofreading, crossing out ones that were lame or needed a little something extra, and noting spelling and grammar mistakes.... all the while wondering if the waitress or other patrons might notice we were editing captions for porn!

Soon the quiz was online and working, and I posted in a couple LJ communities and emailed friends... and after an initial surge, it seems to be slowly spreading as more and more kinky or kink-curious people find it.

At the last minute I added the free statcounter to the results pages, so we could see how many people take the quiz. They have a pretty amazing service - though the "detail" log is so tiny that you really need to pay them if you want more information than the number of people who've viewed the page.

One thing I did learn from statcounter is that the vast majority of people do the quiz only once, maybe twice. A small number do it 10 or more times... some doing it over and over for what must be hours, trying to see every picture. So I added that "just show me all the images" link, which magically appears at the top of the results page after you've done the quiz 3 times in the last hour.

So that's the long story of this quiz. Not sure if you wanted all this, but it feels good to finally get it written down. If anyone wants to make a quiz this "hard" way (without the limiting quiz websites), just contact me and I'll be happy to share everything and help you.
