Oddly, I got last call very quickly but this one eludes me!

Let me also say that I owe solvers an apology about one certain element of the meta - but I can't really apologize yet without it being a spoiler. If you're pretty sure you have it but can't quite land the plane it may be because of a mistake on my end - feel free to send me a PM if you're unsure.

Awaiting confirmation, but quite sure we're off the couch! We had an overly simplistic answer at first, then found a better one. Fun puzzle!

Solved and submitted. Cool puzzle!
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!

Confirmed off the couch. Totally enjoyed this puzzle!

Off the couch after a few false starts. Josh knows what I mean. No harm no foul. (Fowl?).

Wonderful MMM. Thanks Josh!
The site is just a web page, a meeting place, a clubhouse - it's the group that's special.

Pretty clever mechanism (even if one theme entry was incorrect). I don't think I have seen one like this. I liked it.

Another clever, imaginative, and fun puzzle from Josh. I'm awaiting confirmation, but I'm sure I've left the couch. I had two possible answers and wasn't sure which was the intended. Fortunately, they were, for purposes of the puzzle, the same. Also, I would have caught on to the idea in the title sooner if I were Joe Ross.

Josh keeps them coming! Submitted and pretty sure, though at first I thought I was tinting at windmills.
DrTom has left the couchling.

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!
