This puzzle was doing just fine but then Black took her move and .... this is the result.
The answer to the meta is what game we are playing.
ADDENDUM: I suppose I must point out, if you do not know this game.... well, you just won't get it. I've…
I did something like this before but I think this one is better executed. This... isn't all that easy but it should come like a blinding flash from the blue.
First nudges: The grid is an odd size
Other then the first clue there aren't really any…
Okay. For Easter. But I'm too impatient.
(Wouldn't mind advice on how to construct grids where the symmetry of the black cells do paint me into corners with rediculously long words, or blank areas a mile long though.)
Okay, this is a bit of a different one. Think outside the box as it were. Hopefully one thing will lead to another.
I decided to just run with some of the punchier clues. Don't be distracted in thinking some of the more detailed clues are part of…
What to say about this. I wanted a return to old-fashioned straightforward metas. The one is probably kind of hard because the theme mechanism actually, to my surprise, worked really well, and thus hid themselves. On the other hand this might be…

.... but the grid.... The grid may (or may not) be gruesome.
I once joked about a meta prompt being something like "The answer to the meta is a fifth track on the…

Okay.... Look. "Round Five" means…
Okay. I have corrected this. It's a fun one and should be easy to guess. But try to backsolve.
I warned you I'd do this!
But don't worry. Just have fun and don't take it seriously.
