Nudged OTC. Fun one, and what a great way to put those rabbit holes to use. Congratulations on another successful collaboration!

OTC with a sort of Hail Mary in that I had the answer but was not quite sure how to extract it from the grid. Wildly clever and lots of fun.
Thanks @ajk and @Wendy Walker for a fun one
Stay well

OTC. Why is it that the one gimmick I forget to check is always the one that's the key to the meta?
Fine and fun puzzle.

The nudges didn't tell me anything I hadn't already discovered on my own. Seems like I am not as knowledgeable about this theme as I might have supposed!
Check out "The MOAT MEOW Mashup Pack" here. US$10 for 14 metas that don't always abide by the "rules" of the game: asymmetry, 2-letter words, uncrossed letters, who knows. And this time there's a mega-meta!

Got it with help of an additional nudge. What an incredible puzzle. You guys are wizards.

Off the couch after some remedial coaching from @ajk himself!
It all came together very nicely in the end!

Tumbled OTC after some serious hand holding by WW.

Hmmmm. I'm close... I feel like I've got steps 1, 2, and 3... but I'm somehow not turning this into anything else. The final nudge isn't nudging me in the right direction!

Wow. Very impressive! Didn't need the first set of nudges, but definitely needed the last nudge. Bounced around on the couch several times before finally OTC. Thanks!!

Back from a trip and catching up on metas. I didn't need the first nudges, but I don't know what to do with the last nudge.
