It's not copying if they are homages, is it? Two puzzles inspired by fellow Muggles puzzles.

Bouncing off the walls
https://crosshare.org/crosswords/9QCZhW ... -the-walls
I couldn't figure out this Capn Rick meta, https://crosshare.org/crosswords/fJCfC9 ... o-location, so I made up this puzzle instead using the mechanism I wanted that puzzle to have.
This was a hard grid to fill and I apologize for some of the encyclopedic entries but .... I got really stuck in places. But I hope you find this puzzle ..... different.
The meta is an answer to a question
(I'm giving this a 2. Most who tried it got it pretty readily)
Continental Divide and Conquer
https://crosshare.org/crosswords/D0Sc4G ... nd-conquer
This one is inspired by benchen71's Earthquake Zone https://crosshare.org/crosswords/AXLVWC ... -zone-meta
This one was incredibly difficult to construct. The metanism required lots of parts and they all refused to cooperate. I was ready to give up when... I finally got all the pieces to fit (although the lower left corner has a lot of stretches and abusing-- 84A is a complete abuse but I hope I get some points for creativity.)
The meta is a six letter word
(I'm giving this a 4.5)
