AT LAST: [ ACROSS LITE][ PDF]

Theme material first. Grid creation second. Clues last. That's how a crossword is made. Sometimes I like to say there's a "step zero," wherein a title or gimmick presents itself from out of nowhere and says "do something with this kernel of an idea." That's how this one came about. Enjoy.
