Seem to remember this kind of fiction before -- was it Paul then too? Am stuck on the last title (25) and author, also 6 and 10. Found this hard work and, if I have it right, not quite happy about the sound of 24.

25 and 1,17 are both synonyms of "old".
1&17 combine for a 1 word homophone.

I'm not sure about 10, either.

In regards to 10:
An old form of "you" followed by what one might say about something that is cute.

I have a quick question about this one. Are the works of fiction and authors real, or are they actually fictional works by fictional authors?
I seem to remember that a previous Genius puzzle involved the latter

Hi Prospero
Don't know if you have 6 yet. First three words are word play, last two are definition.

Thanks, buzzybee - I got 6 earlier yesterday - and had parsed 10 in what seems to be the correct way but couldn't believe the vagueness of the definition of the last 2 letters! All submitted before midnight - as I always try ....
