jogamel - you need the 25 letters of a literary work (then write the letters of the alphabet below it).
1ac is a thematic answer. The 'fishing net' is a 4 letter synonym, and 'we' = 'I' (the full answer is sure to give you the theme).

Thank you very much. Are my letters relevant to the answer at 1a or am I totally not seeing something I should?
For instance, how did you find the 25 letter literary work?

Those letters don't help jogamel - they're coded.
kirky's helping you to get another name (I got the work from the names).

Your letters are right jogamel - it's a coded entry.
