  Future Menaces/cryptics will have more fair crossings. This was an experiment to see how I'd do with setting words and writing clues, and I have a little better of an idea of what I can work on ^^

  Very fun and very good for a starting cryptic. Hope you do more in the future. :)

  I had problems with this! 1A: I haven't seen "delivered" as a homophone, only an anagrind; I couldn't get "non-trans person", even seeing your parsing. 7A; what is an ECO? 1D; in my part of the world we don't call salt and pepper pots "shakers", so that was a mystery for me. However, a decent cryptic. Well done.

    Thank you for the comments as well as taking the time to solve it. I'm working on the next cryptic and am working to make the parses and wordplay more clear.

    Their being otherwise unchecked didn't help, to be fair. I appreciate your taking the time to solve it!
