Wow... I'm having the exact opposite of a BETTY WHITE moment. I'm utterly certain of the answer but I have utterly no idea, not even the begin of a single step, as to why. But I'm certain of it.
Edit: Oh, NOW I get it!

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'm in the 3rd camp: "I have utterly no idea, not even the begin of a single step, as to what to do."

The weird thing is I just saw the answer. It was right there but I couldn't figure out what the mechanism was at all.
I'll just say it's an interesting twist on the typical of these types of hints. Very unique and very satisfying. It might help to take a break every few minutes and just look around you.

Not yet confirmed, but I'm pretty sure I've left the couch. Finally. I got stuck in a rabbit hole for the longest time, probably because of my illiteracy when it comes to certain authors.

Submitted and awaiting confirmation
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.)

Needed the nudges unfortunately, but got there in the end. First one confirmed I had been looking NEAR the right place but was a Royalty off. Thanks for the puzzle Thurman8er
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!
