Its not easy making a quest of any decent quality. If you're new to quest making then you should ask yourself the following question: Am I willing to give up my time and sweat?
If no, not then I advise you not to start - you'll most likely end up demoralized and regretting that you invested your precious time on a wild goose chase.
If yes, then quest building can be one of the most rewarding, intriguing and pleasant experiences ever. Most other games out there you are stuck as the player - but ZC allows you to control the destiny of your own game. Make the game exactly how you want - and don't be influenced by what anyone else thinks or wants. Its your quest and you may do as you please.
One other point I should mention. Some people pretend that they are willing and happy to help on the surface and in public, but in private when push comes to shove they'll often look the other way and pretend that you don't exist. No one will help you. Not really. Not truly. Not when they have to give up their precious time. No player will help you test your quest when they have countless other quests to play which are better. No script writer will help you write scripts without asking for "comissions" or "compensation" or think of you as someone who they can ask for favours later. No other designer will fix screens, help with design or help you fix errors - let alone give you passwords to their own quests which are so crucial. You're on your own - better you hear this now than have to find out the hard way later.
The best you'll get are pre-written tutorials (which I must admit have been outstanding) and the odd short reply of advice on the forums which can sometimes be of dubious and misleading quality. So if your answer is still yes - then please write your quest and I look forward to playing it.
People can criticize my post all they want - but I speak from first hand experience having just made a quest and I speak the truth.
I could always try to draw an avatar for payment, I guess.

[*]Do NOT spout random thingmajgs from the internet in random places, especially memes. It literatly trolls people.

is it tripple trolling if someone makes a quest based on memes?

That would be an interesting experiment, but unfortunately alternate accounts aren't allowed because they could be used for ban evasions and whatnot.
"hire" a friend, they sign up. you ghost write for them.
do it "by proxy" or would that be "the same thing as you making another account"?
