Available by emailing a request to PandorasBlocksWMC[at]gmail[dot]com, these meta puzzles are distributed by email every Sunday. Pandora's Blocks crosswords are intended to spread the popularity of meta crosswords, however, they are not just for beginners and run the gamut it terms of difficulty.

Done! Submitted! and ... waddya mean incorrect?

Edit: I'd be interested in comparing my answer and seeing if maybe I just misspelled something. Also if I got the wrong answer I have a really interesting alternative answer that has just one teensy issue.
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".

I believe this one allows multiple attempts, so if you think you might have misspelled, just try again.

I didn’t notice any issues, but don’t know if that means I have a different answer or I’m just less observant. PM me if you want to discuss

One of my odder hobbies is collecting books that deal with this subject ... but I still had to Google!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

Why, so it does! And my second attempt went through just fine.
