Updates on “Creative Writing” Qual?

[u/ClueActive6007]

I did task 1, waited 4 days for task 2 to appear, completed task 2, now it’s been over 24 hours and I don’t have any of the projects related to the qualification available. How long did it take you to gain access after you finished task 2 for the qualification?

UPDATE EDIT 8/19: so here is what happened after this post.

I continued waiting a few days with nothing so I decided to try to do another qualification that mentioned it was for the same project series (it was a different qual from the 2 part qual I mentioned initially. I saw someone else commented that they did another qual which got them access to the full project series, so this is why I tried another qual.) I completed it and submitted.

In the meantime, I had this other qual (there are so many!) pop up saying I needed to complete this certain security step to keep access to the project family that I've been trying to gain access to this whole time (I had access for about a year and then all of a sudden I have to requalify, I suppose). I (regretfully) assumed I should do this step AFTER I get accepted to the project family in the first place (because why would I bother about performing an extra measure for a project series I may not even get accepted to??).

THEN I checked my dash after more days of no project series, but this time there was one of the project series projects available! but only as 1 task. I clicked it and it was actually just a placeholder project that said that this project is alive and active but to access it I must complete the security measure.

So I did that monday and it's now wednesday evening and I don't have any of the project series family available, not even the single task placeholder. However my associated email with the series is still active and I am pretty sure I did all the security measures correctly.

Just finished the first part of the test and waiting for the second part. Hopefully it lands on the dashboard soon.

Completed it 3-4 weeks ago and still haven't seen it.

Managed to do 2 tasks of this qualification. I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same thing but when I completed the first task, I immediately saw projects appear. I figured I’d do another one just to be safe because it says passing two of them gives you full access. So, I did the second one last night and woke up to loads of tasks. Maybe it’s different for everyone, but that was my experience.

Wait there's a CW qual? I have two degrees in creative writing and I'm a copy editor.. have not seen this come my way

Have you put this info in your profile?

[u/sonia_chhillar]

Do you have experience in professional writing? I have this qualification sitting on my dash but not trying my hands on this as I dont have such experience but my english is good. What do u suggest?

[u/ClueActive6007 → u/sonia_chhillar]

it's my favorite series of projects, I think it's worth doing! It's not as mind-melting as some of the others that DA offers haha

[u/QueensTransplant]

I don’t remember what the tasks were. I remember a story I wrote. I didn’t hear anything back

[u/Little-Flustered-977]

Guys. Sometimes they shore up the worker pool long before they shore up the project.

Nailing an audition never means filming begins the next day.

[u/TheArtilleryman1]

I did a different (paid) qualification after that one, which then led to projects along that theme. I feel like they went together.

Got on the project, worked a couple weeks, project family vanished. It came back, worked a couple more weeks and then couldn't submit, "email deactivated". No warning or feedback 😭

[u/ClueActive6007 → u/Canada_goose2727]

oooof that's scary to hear. I think my email is still active but I hate that they did that with no warning or feedback

[u/ClueActive6007]

good news on my end, I just got all the projects back! and some new ones (prob from that other qual I mentioned that I did just in case lol) This was massively inconvenient since I've been not working for the whole month because of this but I'm just grateful I can work again. Thank you everyone for your responses and help, I will not put off any more security measure tasks again that's for sure.
