CtC fan discord Collab Cryptic 1 - Creation

This was the first collaboratively made cryptic crossword by people from the CtC fan discord server.

I found the experience of being involved in something like this very interesting, and I learned a lot about how to set cryptic crossword puzzles. The process involved people, in turn, suggesting words to go into the grid and coming up with an idea for a clue. Someone had suggested a theme, so we tried to include as many theme words or references as possible. Once we had a completed grid. Everyone had the opportunity to come up with their own clues for each of the words. We then discussed the clues and voted on which to include. several of the clues that I came up with were used which was nice.

At some point I shall try and embed these puzzles in this site. For now, please use the following link to play online. There is also an option from there to print out the puzzle:
