First Spectrum issue of the semester

[jedusor]

An article I wrote about the National Puzzlers' League, and a companion article about "Wordplay".

I'm trying to convince Craig to include me in the editing process, because the proofreading skills of our editors leave much to be desired. Those two should be okay, though. If you spot anything I missed, let me know (aside from the italicized "crossword editor" in the Wordplay article, which wasn't my fault and should be corrected by Friday).

EDIT: Sorry about the unoriginal headlines. I'm not in charge of those.

EDIT II: Ahhh, crap! ennienyc is the NYT proofreader, not editor! How on earth did I do that? *runs off to pound out more e-mails*

At least they didn't use the most unoriginal headline of all.

Thanks for the job promotion, LOL. One of the reviews of "Wordplay" talked about "New York Times crossword puzzle master Patrick Creadon."

*shakes head* I have no idea how that got past my mental bullshit filter. I sent an e-mail to Craig, the person who makes changes like that, so it'll be fixed when he gets around to fixing it.

Hey, Leah! *adds you to my flist*
