    Thanks to everyone who solved (any of) these crosswords over the past week! It grew from a silly pun into a self-challenge, culminating in my first ever 15x15. I hope y'all had some sinful fun.
    As a final challenge, if you associate each theme clue in this crossword to one of the septet, the missing item will summarise my feelings towards this whole endeavour.

      Impressive and fun!
