"Bright Rite" by benchen71
Welcome to...
benchen71's Metas on a Tuesday (MOAT)
Can you storm the castle by getting across the MOAT? 'Tis the season! The answer to the meta is a current event.
The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and unlimited attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.
Please consider supporting Crosshare. I wouldn't be constructing crosswords without this site!
Bright Rite - Crosshare
Bright Rite - PUZ
Bright Rite - PDF
Bright Rite - spreadsheet
Nudges are here.
The solution is here.

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!

Crossed the MOAT, thanks for the puzzle!

PS: If you want help with a meta, PM what you have so I can help without spoiling too much. I've received lots of help in the beginning and I love to pay it forward!

Quickly saw the information I needed and, after a couple of false starts, I crossed the moat and stormed the castle. Soooo easy to risk a spoiler on this one! Thanks, Ben!

Moat crossed, narrowly avoiding the rotten fruit n veg being thrown 35d in response to my first submission.

It seems like the first time in weeks that I actually "stormed" the castle! Thanks, Ben.

It took me a few tries to get the right incantation, but I've crossed the MOAT!

So very cute.
So I just plain couldn't get my meta based on "Up the Down Staircase" to work.
My challenge it to constructors is to make a meta where the meta, theme or metanism is "Up the Down Staircase".

Solved but fearful I may have missed some nuance.
ETA: Ah, there it is. Nicely done.
