Thought I'd try making another one of these! I know this grid looks very disorganized compared to most other cryptics, but hopefully that shouldn't impact the solve!
WOW. I've solved a lot of cryptic on here - most of them minis, because few people are bold enough to craft full size puzzles - and I think this is my favorite one yet. I'm absolutely gobsmacked by some of the clue writing. Can't even point out favorite because at least a dozen times, the answer clicked and I just went "whoa!" Lots of clues were very challenging, but not brutally so, as everything eventually fell into place - with the exception of 1A, which was the last thing I entered and I confess I resorted to a thesaurus for assistance with. But I had to finish, because, what a beautiful puzzle. Keep up the great work!
