Here is some information:
Please feel free to complete the crossword by posting answers in this thread. I will endeavour to update the O.P grid and respond to answers at least twice daily.
I have attempted to follow Ximenes-ish rules. And when I say -ish, I mean ISH. Really it's more of an Libertarian style on account of my amateurism and lack of skill. Be aware I done me best, and me best (at this point) may not be good enough.
That said, the crossword should be easyish to complete. I have used a proper grid with a decent amount of intersecting squares, though you may be hindered by my poorly constructed clues.
Here are some guidelines:
*Try to have fun.
*Work together or on your own.
*Bemoan the clues.
*It's encouraged (but not necessary) to parse the clues when answering. This will help me learn where I am going wrong/right.
*Discussion of clue construction is also encouraged.
*I may bump the thread occasionally if it drops off the radar, but I will let it die if no-one gives it a crack after 7 days.
*Try to have fun.
Here is a plea:
Don't shout at me too much when you find I've messed something up. Tell me where I went wrong.
Here is where you take over:
Good luck
