Meta Prompt
The meta answer could be a sixth theme entry.
As an avid reader, an English major, and a writer and copy editor by trade, I've long thought that the topic of author names would make a splendid meta. Odds are good you'll need to do some Googling, but if you keep the title in mind, the meta shouldn't be too tough. Here's hoping you enjoy it! Nudges to come later in the day (possibly not within the customary two hours; I'm on vacation, after all!).
Yes, of course there will be a relevant prize.
Thanks to Peter Abide and Al Sisti for all their help and encouragement.
