      This was your FIRST?! Really nice stuff, definitely on the harder side.
      1A: Three less-common synonyms (at least to me) made this one real hard, but grammatically, it's precise.
      5A: Wonderful. Surface is a little non-specific, but that's OK!
      6A: Some people dislike partial homophones; I am not one of them. Really nice.
      2D: [headless or] is a really elegant indicator for the R swap and the head/headless surface play is great.
      3D: My favorite clue; the grammar's a bit terse, but sort of how I'd expect you to sound after an all-nighter.
      4D: Solid. I've seen this parse before, but that's not a knock against the clue; that's a hard word!

        Ah, thank you! I've been doing cryptics my whole life, just found this website and though I'd try to construct some.

          That's a similar route as mine; long-time solver, but didn't start constructing until Crosshare gave me the tools to make the grid-filling part a bit easier. Welcome!

        What a great debut! I semi-guessed a couple without understanding the wordplay, but after reading your parses everything feels solid. Nice work!
