That's the point, though. Quizilla wasn't created to help budding writers unfurl to the fullest extent. It was made for people to create and take quizzes, not stories.

Stories aren't quizzes, no matter how well or poorly they're written. And if they're NOT quizzes, why are they on a quiz site?

It's not just a matter of loading time, either. The story quizzes are taking up all of the space on all of the lists,and not leaving room for anyone who might actually WANT to find out what sort of fruit cocktail they are, or whether or not they were meant to be a demon bat.

I think you're also mistaken by saying no one would use the website if the story quizzes weren't on. I used to come here.... a long time ago, before all this started, and there were a lot of really neat quizzes. If the number of people who write and read actual quizzes has decreased, it's probably because they've given up even trying to FIND quizzes amongst all the stories.

Also,if the story quizzes are that wonderful, why aren't the authors willing to post them on fanfic sites, where they can get feedback, proper formatting, and constructive criticism to help improve their writing?

And for those people who write in second person.....it is really not a very desirable skill for authors. Name one famous novel that begins with the words "You woke up and you got out of bed...." If you're looking to get serious about what you write, this isn't the way to do it.

There are plenty of options for anyone who wants them.
