But if you don't, I hope there's not a flap. Because boxes have flaps. Moving right along...

Muggles of the world, let's rock! We have our first of two Mikey G metas this month as we get ready for the three-quarters century mark! Looking forward to hit meta #100 sometime next year!
This one should play around a Level 2.5 or 3. Shout-out to @CPJohnson and @KayW for test-solving!

The answer to the meta is a notable American personality.
Deadline is Saturday, November 18 at 1 pm ET.
Good luck, and may all your solves be beautiful!

Fun one. Thanks. I managed to confuse myself for a bit but finally sorted it out.

Fun one! Thanks, MikeyG.
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!

Another gem. I thought this “Level 3” was friendlier than Gaffney’s last Week 1 and 2.
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Not a meta, but, yeesh!, that was tough to create.

The MP3 at the .puz link on your blog wouldn't play. I eventually found the .puz on Crosshare. Still working on the meta.

Solved it backwards, but got there in the end! I think level 3 is fair.

I think we have a nice course correction on this one after a bit bumpier #73. We're at 37 correct answers so far, on track to get to the half-century mark by Saturday with hopefully some spillover.
Nudges, if you need them, coming on Wednesday!

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
