I really like variety cryptic crosswords.
I made this up more than 10 years ago: the date says Jan 20, 1999. I made it to run in my zine GLUM HOMEBODY. Rather than put numbers in the grid area, I use a kind of hex notation: add row and column to get the coordinate!
I might not post the solution unless I hear from YOU.
CENSORED!
Thirteen of the clues have had their definitions censored!
And for good reason!
