Hello everyone,
It's time to start the preparations for this months "Joint Effort" and for anyone who doesn't know what this is, it's a completed crossword grid with no clues. You, the posters are invited to compile clues for the grid by sending me a contact email address to which I send you back the words needing clues to be set (Number of words sent out per person depends on amount of interest). Then via email feedback, we decide the best way to compose and deliver the clues (seperately with each clue setter). When this is done, which takes a few days, I then format the final print and publish it on here for all to have a go. Each setter only knows their own clue answers and each setter is given a "Coded letter" to identify with their own clues so people know who has set which clues.
If for security reasons you do not wish to send your personal email address to me, that's no problem, just go onto Yahoo or Google and make a new address for this purpose (some of the others have already done this last month).
This month's grid has 50 words. Wendy will be glad to hear it hasn't any 3 or 4 letter words.
I have invited Syzygy to propose his new method of explaining clue wordplay and make up of solutions. So look out for his post on this thread (you may have seen him practising on the threads).
NB: I already have email addresses for the following people and they just need to let me know if they're in for this month's grid on this thread.
