It happened a lot quicker than I thought it would, but ta-dah! A furry-themed crossword. It's not like I have enough material to do tons of furry-themed ones, and I was never going to limit myself to just furry crosswords...but it is damn fun to put what I put into this puzzle.
It's actually always been a small complaint of mine that most crossword creators these days are very good at what they do, but have pop culture knowledge ending at about 1980. Now, obviously you'd never see them putting furry things into their crosswords, but it's nice to be able to use more modern, colloquial, and nerdy things in mine.
Also, this one is a little bigger than the last. This one is 17 x 17, while A Classic Caper was 15 x 15.
I hope you all enjoy!

I like the intellectual rigor and trivia knowledge required to go a good....actually, what would be the proper name for it? Are NZ/oz crosswords in the same style as English ones?... I'd presume so, but presumption would be ill-mannered. :) It's a very, very different challenge. You can deduce less, and there are fewer instances of random happenstance helping.
NZ/AU crosswords I believe are based on the UK style -- a 'quick' example as what might be found in a typical newspaper is here). Crossword books, such as those published by Lovatt's have larger crosswords, but designed in a similar fashion.
I'd assume that UK crosswords are easier to compile because there are fewer intersections between words.
