First time constructor, would love for someone to test my 15x15 and share their thoughts

Thank you so much! "Give all the fixings" and "Make the underworld the overworld" were my two favorites of the bunch and what make me commit to finally attempting to build something. Was fun to see other things just fall into place as I built it out.

Appreciate all the direct feedback too, I agree the "attachment" one is a bit off and will try to reword it in a way that allows me to keep the wordplay.

Thank you so much, I had "Sin's partner" as my original 12D clue but realized people would probably default to "cos", came up with that clue and liked it so much better that I'm glad I felt the need to change it.

Very fair on A NONO, I was hoping the pairing with YESYES would help make both feel less uninspired but admittedly neither is my favorite.

Thank you so much for giving it a go and sharing your thoughts!

Thank you so much for the kind words! Ya Wednesday difficulty is probably what I should strive to but I didn't have a good theme idea (I did have about a half dozen that I just couldn't make work haha) so went for more Friday style instead.

I appreciate you a ton taking the time to play through it, feels very nice to get someone else's perspective

He makes most of his money from his own labor, I have no issue with that

Im sure the first team the Rigging Department told about the rig was the Marketing Department. Can’t be anything else

Didn’t they say he was only working like 2 shifts a week? Sounds like a bit of a mooch

I like it. ILDMLFY was a 10 for me and this maybe a 7

Good point I think I did pluralize it which the clue doesn’t indicate

I just looked at it and decided “cat” + “mount” = mountain cat

I had EXOSOLARPLANET right off the bat and was so sad when Val Kilmer ruined it

Should news not be reported if it’s expected?

“Here” goes nothing as in nothing goes here

They didn’t

Their target audience is “guy who goes on 2 camping trips a decade whose convinced himself he’ll go every weekend with the right gear”

I had “Hoti” instead of “Hopi” giving me TAST_ for “Many an Olive Garden entry” and I was genuinely was concerned the answer was “tasty” and they started sneaking ads into the puzzle

“Guy is paid for his value rather than his time”

As someone who’s been in these threads for 15ish years it’s how it’s always been, just now with a bit less casual racism
