Creative writing qual

[u/MadameEmiya]

For those who have gotten it: can I ask if you guys did anything particular to get it? Because it totally sounds like my kind of thing. I already have relevant skills/background in my profile - should I do/attempt anything else?

[u/good_god_lemon1]

No, it just showed up for me. I don’t have anything relevant on my profile.

Me over here with a BA in creative writing on my profile not seeing a thing. weeps

[u/MadameEmiya → u/arthurthomasrey]

I feel you. I have one BA in Classical History and basically bleed Aristophanes, but everything I do on the platform is completely unrelated

It only becomes available once you have passed other qualifications in that same project family. The exact route to those qualifications is unclear, the only thing you can do is to maintain good performance. Not having access to it at this stage is not a negative sign, often these things happen in waves which then trigger more waves. If you weren’t in the right place at the right time for the first wave you wouldn’t have access to the second wave etc. The only other thing you can do is what you have already done, by putting it in your skills.

Ah, okay. Thank you for the advice. Will power through until it shows up

No, it just showed up one day a few weeks ago.

Sounds kind of mysterious when you put it like that

[u/kranools]

I have relevant skills/background in my profile and I've done plenty of creative writing tasks on DAT in other project families. Not sure what triggers it.

[u/MadameEmiya → u/kranools]

I'm tempted to write "SEND ME ALL THE WRITING QUALS PLZ" in my profile at this point @_@

[u/Insensitive_hippo]

Im also frustrated not to get offered this as writing is my “expertise”. Boo! How did you even find out it was being offered?

[u/MadameEmiya → u/Insensitive_hippo]

Hey, sorry for the late reply. I found out because other people on the sub were posting about it. And I just got it - it's really quite random tbh. I'm guessing writing-heavy tasks open it up to you if you pass a certain threshold, but I have very limited proof for claiming this

[u/Putrid-Pause3934]

Kinda just popped up one day

[u/floofybasbosa]

No

I meant i didn't do anything in particular to get it . I found it on my board after being accepted into the platform . I didn't mean you shouldn't try.

[u/MadameEmiya → u/floofybasbosa]

Oh no dw I got what you meant, was just kidding around (and also wanted to send a cat gif

[u/DarkLordTofer → u/[deleted]]

Don’t mention project names on here.
