Thanks for en entertaining puzzle.
2D Lovely surface reading
6A I assume that "corroborator" is meant to be "alibi" but ALLABY doesn't sound like a homophone in my ears
4D I have never heard of CANDYLAND. Could you please explain?
It was fun to solve but the constructions were a bit iffy in places. Also, having only 3 letters checked in a 9-letter answer is really unfair to the solver.
