Beamed up at #137. I was pretty confident of the concept but it took a while to arrange all the pieces.

Usually my problem is over-complicating things. This week it was the opposite. Thought I saw what I needed to see and found a pair of grid entries. Fortunately I was obsessive enough to look in case any other pairs worked, and I found another one, so I knew I must have missed something, and kept looking and found it.
I've beamed up now. Still one thing I don't fully understand.

If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.
(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

The way the prompt is worded, I expect either order will count as a win.lbray53 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 5:14 pmI was feeling so good about my submission and then I read this!

Beamed. It was one of those 'Nothing...nothing...nothing...that's interesting...nothing...nothing...EVERYTHING' weeks. I have those a lot.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.

I think I've got it... but I have an issue.
Can I run mine by someone and forgo my solo solve?
EDIT: Nemmine. There I am at 238.

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

Really appreciated the clue at 34-Down.

Same here. Will look forward to comments Tuesday
Assuming order is not an issue, I’m beamed.

Beamed up.
Ditto on the order. (Put the alternate in the comments.)
Good meta. And I groaned a number of times at the clues.

Submitted my non-100% guess answer early this morning. Waiting for Matt to wake up and open the box to see if I made it.
(and yeah I could ask a beam-ee now but what fun is that?)
EDIT: Whoops. New streak starts next week.
EDIT EDIT: Wow. Now I'm on the board. This cat is getting dizzy!

That concerned me initially, but after I ran the traps it all tied up in a cool way. PM me if you want to share notes.

Forgot to post here yesterday but beamed up at 219. And similar to @Abide and others, I was not 100% certain until I was. Had to wrap my brain around it a bit, but a solid click on another very clever Gaffney construction.

Had a similar issue with the theme but it clicked after I submitted (luckily)!

Got it I believe. The first part seemed to come too easily; it was the rest that consumed my morning until I finally altered my logic. Now the wait for confirmation.
I had a good deal of trouble because I was assigning previous methods of failure onto this puzzle - talk about transferrance....
EDIT: In just under the 300 mark at 293

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!
