Jumped out of the box after putting two theme answers in the blank grid. (But finished it anyway, because they're always fun puzzles.)
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

lol confess that I was stumped on this one for a while. Knew the mechanism, obviously, but was having a hard time finding something that fit it. :)

Fun one, thanks Emma and Will.

See viewtopic.php?t=527&start=21#.
@oldjudge suggested "dino me!" as the "solved it!" metaphor for the Pandora's Blocks puzzles early on.

Dino me!
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! :shock:

Dino me as well. Grid was a bit challenging as I ended up having to solve from the bottom up. Easy meta as advertised. Thanks
