[The One-hundreth! I was not aware that my puzzle would fall on such a significant milestone, so this won't feature in the puzzle/meta in any way, sorry!]
I love Alanis Morissette's "Ironic". This is my meta puzzle tribute to that song! The answer to the meta is a noun.
The easiest way to submit is on Crosshare (and you get instant feedback and multiple attempts!) But you can also PM me with your submission. Either way, I'll compile a list of those who successfully solve the meta.
Isn't It Ironic(ally Named) - Online Form
Isn't It Ironic(ally Named) - PUZ
Isn't It Ironic(ally Named) - PDF - CORRECTED!

Nudges are here.
The solution is here.

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!

Well the cat is out of the bag. (Am I first?????)
Funny story. I was all set to enter Par for the course for the CrossHare midi contest for April but I mistakenly thought midi meant 7x 7 and not 11 x 11. Oops. Well.... Here's a complex but **small** meta on the subject of golf.

Got it, thanks for the puzzle. I can think of a very funny pun to go here but it'd be redacted.
