Greetings from Vietnam! I started solving crosswords two years ago to improve my English and thought crossword construction would be the perfect way to take my hobby to the next level. As a non-native English speaker, getting my puzzle published really boosts my confidence in my English proficiency!
I first used AS YOU KNOW as the revealer but later scrapped it because I felt it was too simple, and the revealer would not apply to everyone as not everyone knows ADAM SAVAGE. After some more digging, I uncovered AS SEEN ON TV, which is much snazzier and makes the theme tighter.
I am not familiar with American pop culture, so to decide which A.S. is crossword-worthy, I used the number of Google search results and looked for past appearances in crosswords. Further crossword constraints led me to drop some notable A.S.s such as AMANDA SEYFRIED and ADAM SANDLER. However, in the end, I am pleased with the diverse final set of themers. Some other A.S.s like ANAKIN Skywalker and Anna SUI managed to sneak in!
