    The rejection was nice, saying it was "a solid construction and theme set, but...a little too familiar and it just didn't stand out for us quite enough."

      I really enjoyed it! Solid fill with some fun newer entries like PARASITE. I liked the clue for LARGE. No shame in a rejection from the NYT - that's actually what inspired this site originally!
