Themed. But not meta? (No prompt?)

That was a LOT of fun!

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

Interesting puzzle--thanks Evan! On a completely separate note, as a fan of woman's basketball I wanted to commend Evan for his occasional inclusion of clues relating to the WNBA and its' players.

Correct, no meta for this one. I publish puzzles regularly but metas only occasionally.

That said ... the upcoming puzzle for April 2 has a meta.

If any of you folk will be at the ACPT this weekend, come say hi to me.

I was briefly confused because this wasl in the "Other Meta Crossword Puzzles" forum. But I realized later in another forum (I forget which) that they are making a category specifically for yours so that makes sense now.

(Love your puzzles by the way)

At least an hour of pure entertainment. I solve over cereal and coffee at the island in my kitchen. Everyone knows (cats, wife, etc.) do not bother the solver unless something is bleeding, on fire, or stealing money online.
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
