    Solvers! Thanks for trying my puzzle, and I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave a comment to let me know... Also, if you felt there was room for improvement, don't be afraid to say so (it's the only way I'll get any better, after all.)
    I don't think there's anything shockingly difficult in amongst this lot, although a couple of bits of wordplay may be obscure.
    ACROSS
    1A. anag. TOOFFENDMICE. 9A. gongs (medals) = OBES (i.e. order of the british empire) + eastern origin = E. 10A. Double def. 11A. Double def. 12A. Consider = MULL + alien visitor = ET. 13A. reversal of prima donna = DIVA. 14A. about = RE + smaller crosswords = MINIS + initial letters from "cryptics excluded." 18A. anag.
