I just wanna get to know ya (themeless)

Hi, everyone! It's been a minute, because it's been a busy spring! For one thing, I got to make 31 minis for Puzzmo in March, which I'm hoping some of you solved. For another thing, last month (though taped back in March), I was on Jeopardy! (I didn't win, but I did prove to the world that I know at least one fact.)

As for this puzzle, I decided to get back into the swing of things by making a midi, which feels like a nice compromise between all the full-sized puzzles I did last summer and all the minis I made this spring. As always, I have a bit more time during summer, which I'm hoping to use for some puzzle making, but I don't think I'll keep to any regular schedule, so just... stay tuned? Or don't! I honestly don't know at this point!

On a final note, I'm trying out Puzzmo's workshop tool for puzzle hosting. This is my first time using it, so obviously let me know if there's any issues with the embed or the interface.

Thanks to Dan (and presumably also Babka and Paprika) for test solving!

Trouble Brewing (Summer Puzzle 15)

 And here we have it, the 15th and final summer puzzle. Before I talk about this week's puzzle,  I want to say from the bottom of my heart, thank you to everyone who has solved any of these summer puzzles, and double thank you to anyone who has commented on a puzzle, streamed a puzzle, said nice things to me at a tournament(!), or especially to anyone who collaborated with me on one of these summer puzzles. When I started this project, I was looking for a way to get myself to get back into puzzle-making after a busy school year, and I'd say I succeeded. Making each puzzle in under a week, following the themes and seeds I was feeling, and being unconstrained by the restrictions and schedules of published crosswords was a really great experience, and I'm proud of the work I did here. If you haven't been following along, I think a few highlights are puzzle 6 , puzzle 7 , and  puzzle 13 , but I really like all the summer puzzles! Anyways, for this week's puzzles, I'...

Themeless: Cool for the Summer (Summer Puzzle 9)

First off, sorry for the delay on this puzzle--I did say at the start of this project that I was likely to miss a week here and there, and I guess I made good on this project. Pretty shortly after the last puzzle I posted, I got sick (why I didn't post a puzzle last weekend), and then I wound up traveling for a multi-day bachelorette party (why this puzzle is late). I am, in fact, still traveling (driving back to Boston) and therefore very tired, but I should be home tomorrow, so that should get us back on track. Anyways, for those of you who aren't here for my life updates, have a puzzle! This one's a themeless where IMO the vibes are 10% "hot girl summer" and 90% "I must be the hottest they/them at the bachelorette party." I also was completely exhausted during most of the cluing of this puzzle (due to the aforementioned travel), so the "no test solvers" vibe may be a little rougher than usual, but I like the grid a lot and think this should ...

A Couple of Items (Summer Puzzle 10)

 Yes, I'm still here and proud to present the 10th summer puzzle! I'll be keeping this going through August (and hopefully get back to a true weekly schedule soon), so there's more to go. This one is definitely another "I just put the media I'm consuming into a puzzle" puzzle, and the theme is a little looser, but as always, I hope you have fun! Also! I will be at Boswords tomorrow! (Likely place for me to be, I know.) If you're there, please come say hi. I love talking to people at tournaments. Crosshare
