Re: Collaborative crossword writing
Sorry. Don't know what came through me. *deep breath*....... There all better.
On further inspection is the answer to all of Mikey's clues APTEROUS? I'm not sure on the exact reasoning behind them but I think I may have solved the first two partially. Clearly at first I wasn't trying hard enough!
1. Liable = APT. ROUSE confusion = EROUS
2. Mineral = ORE returned to US = EROUS.
4. I have no idea about most of the words in this clue!

Looking at the clue, I would assume that "tissue plasminogen activator" would suggest the initials so you get TPA, which when comes back around, you get APT, but not sure where the EROUS comes into it, but I think its right.Mikey Lear wrote:Fast tissue plasminogen activator comes back round to end selector gene.

We hear Jeff's event (+ a clue for the bit that sounds like -ol) is a fat compound. This is really what I meant when I asked had I missed something.

They're all APTEROUS - sorry I messed up the second clue. What a div.Mikey Lear wrote: Lexonerd timewaster liable to rouse confusion. (8)
A class of mineral returned to us without columns. (8)
Pterosaur with no right to fly, maybe? (8)
Fast tissue plasminogen activator comes back round to end selector gene. (8)
The last one breaks up like this: Fast (SURE) tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) comes back (APTERUS) round to end (O) selector gene (apparently there's a gene called APTEROUS).
Also, APTEROUS is an archetectural term meaning without columns, as well as more commonly meaning wingless (not common enough for me to know it before I wrote the clues though). And the lexonerd timewaster is Charlie's latest production which has sucked a good portion of my recent life away, of the same name.

Re: Collaborative crossword writing
The clue can come at the start or the end so that the sentence makes sense. For instance with this clue, that Mikey solved (albeit with thesaurus.com ), the word exchanges build together to form the answer at the end. This works equally well if the answer is at the start, because the smaller parts of the clue are being added together to form the word. If you put the synonym for the answer in the middle, in a word exchange clue especially, you are adding some of the smaller sub clues to your actual answer. Sorry, I am probably not explaining that very well .Paul Howe wrote:Well done Mikey, you seem to have a real knack of solving these!Mikey Lear wrote:Using thesaurus.com assignation

There are exceptions but these normally rely on a flight of fancy from the setter and every good setter is generally adept at these more imaginative clues. Michael's clue had this characteristic. However, if the setter is being tongue-in-cheek there tends to be a question mark at the end of the clue to give you some indication that you have to think outside the box, like "Ill-gotten gains? (8,7)" for instance.

The Paul Azinger clue is excellent and one of us should have got it. The Data clue is really clever but seems a little flabby in comparison and there is no hint that the argon is a soundalike. Please set a few more though include a few easyish ones some we can become more au fait with your style. Likewise, Dinos: feel free. **this is not an afterthought, repeat, this is not an afterthought**.
Here are some:
(Easy) Pound a drumbeat to foreshadow (9)
(Moderate)It's a complex idea to choose God (7)
(Hard) Almost unsuited? (2,6)

The third one is far too tenuous and there are probably loads of answers that fit so again - apologies! The answer I was looking for was NO TRUMPS since no trumps in bridge refers to an unsuited contract, in a sense. The reason why the clue is "almost unsuited" is that no trumps can be read as not rumps. Sorry, I didn't really give these clues sufficient thought.
