( if you're a new constructor and you'd like feedback on your submissions, you can let us know via the form -- after the twitch stream, I will email you comments) on Sunday, 8/18, at 7pm eastern , update: on Wednesday, 8/21, at 6pm eastern, Rachel and I will do a twitch livestream, in wh...

Well, well, well, if it isn't the Just Gridding! team back with another "Just the Grid"!  In case you need a refresher, this is an experiment that we run every so often in which we post a grid and crowdsource this clues. Unlike most themeless grids, which are often created with a particular voice and/or message in mind, the grids we use for these experiments are created especially for this purpose, so that we can solicit as many voices and fresh cluing angles as possible. This is an opportunity for new and experienced constructors alike to experiment with voice-y or boundary-pushing clues, so don't hold back!  Check out the grid and then submit your clues using the links below (feel free to submit as many times as you like!).  Grid Clue Submission Form The deadline to submit clues is July 14, 2023. We will then sort through the submitted clues, livestreaming our cluing conversation and decisions on Twtich at twitch.tv/fabioethics . (Exact date/time TBD, we will keep y...

We are still figuring out the best system for crowdsourcing clues, but here's what we've got so far: Click this link for a pdf image of the grid (on a separate page so it's not spoiled for people who are curious but don't actually want to participate) Click this link to access the Google Form where you can submit fun/creative/"indie-only" clues for up to five entries (feel free to do this multiple times if you have more than five you'd like to submit!) Rachel + clr will review submissions a week from today (5/26) and pick out a set of potential clues At this point, we'll either (a) finalize the puzzle and publish it with the clues we like or (b) livestream a conversation in which we discuss clue choices and make small edits (like Brooke and Adam did a few months ago), and *then* finalize and publish it.
