My thanks to those who have responded.

Carol,I have a very mixed reaction to your post -- on the one hand, I am "bumped" that I hadn't been the one to think of this idea first. But OTOH, I am thrilled to have the puzzles that you and James made to fill out.

Given the minimal response (either positive or negative) to my first crossword puzzle, I might not try a second one for a while. Besides, I am currently busy with an epic piece of fanfic...Well, epic for me, anyway, given that I have heretofore stuck with vignettes. It will actually be pretty short by other authors' standards...I think it will wind up being about 12 or 13 pages long.

cheers,
Lynn
