Signed, Sealed and About to Be Delivered

The puzzle has been formatted to the New York Times' specifications and is sealed into an envelope ready to be flown across the country. Wish it luck on its way.

What I've learned thus far:
  • There's an informal limit on the number of black squares allowed into a grid.
  • Many people don't know what emo is.
  • This is fun.

Good luck and let us know how it goes! I would like to purchase the paper the day your puzzle makes it in.

They pay pretty decently, too. Imagine if you could submit several puzzles, that would be a nice bit of pocket change! :-)

Just today my sister used the term 'emo' in reference to two of my favorite bands, who I had never quite been able to categorize. I'd heard the term before, but I guess I was way off about what it referred to. I was planning to post in my journal tonight asking if anyone knew any more about it. Strange...
