Crossword #15: Ashwood-Smith's Fury

 Ladies, gentlemen, and others,

Sorry, Martin. It's not a good sign when the grid doesn't fit in Crosshare.

Have a time,

Gizmo

 April the Seventh be with you! (Little Star Wars reference for my nerds out there.) The illustrious Frisco17 and I assembled 72 of the best crossword constructors I know, to make this the GREATEST CROSSOVER IN CROSSWORD HISTORY. It features tons of incredible cluing work, an immaculate grid by Frisco, and a clue by myself that makes this puzzle difficult to fit on one printed page (Sorry ACPT people for needing a magnifying glass to solve this puzzle. Surprised no one said hi to me during the whole convention, by the way. I was only 10 states or so away.) I digress. Please enjoy this puzzle, DECADES in the making (all of the contributors had to be born for this to even happen).

Crossword #11: The Final Frontier

 After all these years, I've finally done it. Just kidding, it took like 30 minutes on a crowded bus ride through the streets of Naples, Italy, during which I had the idea for this puzzle. Black squares are so limiting, so unneccessary. When the Greeks wrote the Arepo word square, did they use black squares? I don't think so. As I looked out at the beautiful night sky, I considered how my ancestors would have wanted crosswords to be done. I cursed Arthur Wynne for inventing the only limit to creativity in the crossworld. This is the natural progression of the crossword meta. I expect constructors to follow my lead first. I have a very long wordlist of 15 letter entries if anyone needs them (over 50,000 and growing as I come up with new word combos every day!) This puzzle functions as a themeless, but think of it as a themed puzzle, with the theme being innovation and discovery. After all, this is a record-setter, demolishing the previous record of 17. Eat my dust, Joe Krozel. S...
